Ron, Create a new issue here (one for each device seems logical) > [@Peter\_Kawa](#): > > Issues can be reported here: [https://github.com/athombv/com.tuya/issues](https://github.com/athombv/com.tuya/issues) There’s a guide present in the new issue template I’ll quote it here fyc: To request a new device, please run the Tuya app locally using Homey CLI. ```bash $ git clone git@github.com:athombv/com.tuya.git $ cd com.tuya $ homey app run ``` Then pair a ‘Light’, even if your device is not a light. Watch the logging closely for `Device: ` and copy-paste the JSON in this issue. Without this information, we cannot add support for your device, and the issue will be closed. For example: ```auto 2024-06-06T14:11:59.852Z [log] [Homey:xxxxxx] [ManagerDrivers] [Driver:light] Device: {"active_time":1717491339,"biz_type":0,"category":"dj","create_time":1717491339,"icon":"smart/icon/bay1582725542891RIK5/42feb5d93f5e13800cf2ade23ea49459.png","id":"xxxxxx","ip":"xxxxxx","lat":"52.25","local_key":"xxxxx","lon":"6.3","model":"SH.63.204","name":"G95 Gold","online":true,"owner_id":"xxxxx","product_id":"xxxxxx","product_name":"G95 Gold","status":[{"code":"switch_led","value":true},{"code":"work_mode","value":"white"},{"code":"bright_value_v2","value":223},{"code":"temp_value_v2","value":0},{"code":"scene_data_v2","value":"{\"scene_num\":1,\"scene_units\":[{\"bright\":200,\"h\":0,\"s\":0,\"temperature\":0,\"unit_change_mode\":\"static\",\"unit_gradient_duration\":13,\"unit_switch_duration\":14,\"v\":0}]}"},{"code":"countdown_1","value":0},{"code":"control_data","value":""},{"code":"remote_switch","value":true}],"sub":false,"time_zone":"+02:00","uid":"xxxxxx","update_time":1717671377,"uuid":"xxxxxx"} ``` Finally, please link to more information about the device, e.g. the manufacturer’s website. ---

I did also share some of the JSON strings in the issues. And looking at Github, I am not the only one. Well, for now it is working for some basic features. ---

Before any wild theories start circulating, here’s an update: I just wrapped up a meeting with Tuya, and we’re on track to release the first version of our app by the end of this week or the beginning of next week 🎉 With the app, we will also release knowledge base articles that provide in-depth guidance on connecting devices to Homey and requesting new devices via Homey CLI. For now, we haven’t added any new devices because we want to ensure that the currently available devices work as expected. We’re still resolving some bugs with the lights and plugs. We’ve also made progress on integrating cameras, but there are limitations. Tuya doesn’t provide access to their snapshots or streams. So, while you can control camera functions like tilt, pan, siren, and zoom, viewing the feed isn’t possible. After the first release, we’ll start adding new devices in batches. The first batch will likely include the following: > [@Doekse](#): > > We’ve received samples of some heating panels, fans, lights with built-in motion sensors and built-in modules Stay tuned for more updates, and thank you for your patience! 🙏 ---

Is it normal that if I try to add an “Other” Tuya device, even if I already connected the Tuya account, it keeps asking me to conenct instead of letting me select the device? I can see in the SmartLife app that Homey is correctly connected. ---

So, while you can control camera functions like tilt, pan, siren, and zoom, viewing the feed isn’t possible. AFAIK Home Assistant supports snapshots and streams with its official TuYa integration (although streams can be a bit of a hit-or-miss depending on the camera model). Also, it sounds like you’re suggesting that Homey supports video streams? ---

With ‘connect’ you mean login, or? _btw Login should be a one time action when you’re adding your first Tuya device._ Is it similar to this issue? > > > Logged in to my Tuya app account through Homey and was then able to add two ligh…ts (logged in through add function) but then when I want to add more devices of a different kind I am told to log in again. > At the end of log in process I am told I ant tlog in cause I am already logged in. > This happened day before yesterday. > Today when I want to use the devices I have added they state "Token missing." > And now when I try and add new device (the only way I know how to log in) I get "New device found - Token is expired (Code 1010)" > [@Matteo\_Sulis](#): > > I can see in the SmartLife app that Homey is correctly connected.

Yes, connecting the account via logging in. In smartlife, if you go under settings, account and security, the 1st item under “Authorization management” (sorry I have the app in Italian so I’m not sure what’s that in english). thanks for the link, I’ll check. EDIT: no it’s different, I get asked Tuya password again and never was able to select any device. ---
