Hi Paulo, You can ask someone who can write app code to add a driver per github PR. Or, buy a €15,- Tuya/Tuya whitelabel zigbee gateway, like the one sold by Lidl. ---

Why can’t we use the ‘Other’ driver as a ‘When’ card? I want to send Tuya codes using scene switches, but it’s not possible if the card can’t be a when card, as switches are always the first command. ---

This is because there’s no WHEN cards for receiving values and status updates by Tuya devices (yet). Meaning, the curtain publishes its state, but Homey can’t receive it (yet). This functionality has been requested @ [github # 20](https://github.com/athombv/com.tuya/issues/20) (Also FYI @deejayreissue ) ---

As previously mentioned, this app is still in development. We are continuously iterating and adding support for more device types.

Hi there, For all Tuya devices do we still need to have a separate Tuya gateway and network, or will be possible to make use of the Homey Pro Zigbee on the long run? Having 2 separate network might be an hassle. Cheers ---

This specific App aims to create an integration with the Tuya Cloud. For Zigbee devices this means that you need a Tuya Zigbee gateway to connect your devices. For now you can use the [community Tuya Zigbee App](https://homey.app/a/com.tuya.zigbee/test) to connect directly with Homey over Zigbee. ---

Understood, will the community app somehow take the advantage of all these Zigbee connections to make support for more devices? To be honest here, I kind of lost faith on that development from the community app. ---

Are there any gateways in particular that you would recommend for use with Homey to achieve a strong mesh network? ---
