If you add the Homey skill to Alexa you will get duplicate devices, but that’s not what you want to do because the skill adds Homey devices to Alexa, not the other way around.
There are two Homey Alexa/Echo apps. The ‘Amazon Echo’ one works the best for me. It gives you the option to add Alexa routines (and, via routines, scenes) to Homey. From memory, the ‘Amazon Alexa’ one allows you to add Alexa-attached devices to Homey. You add only the ones you want.
Another option is the free Voice Monkey skill and web site that allows you to run Alexa routines via a web call, which Homey routines can do.
The control of my heatpump by the “official” Tuya-app is still going strong. No indication of a closing day yet. I consider myself a lucky guy, hopefully it stays that way
This morning I received the following message. Most likely it will not affect this app, but it will perhaps affect the community app that a lot of people are still using. If that becomes unusable because of this measure, it will increase the importance of an official app. Good luck @Doekse !
Dear Developers,
Hello! We’ve noticed that during the firmware development process, some developers have set up an unreasonable message reporting logic, resulting in an excessive amount of data. This not only increases device power consumption and affects the stability of device control, but also leads to an increase in consumer complaints and after - sales costs.
To optimize the message reporting mechanism and ensure service stability, we issued an announcement regarding the limitation of message reporting data volume in July 2024. According to the original plan, starting from August 5, 2024, we would stop the free policy for message reporting data exceeding the daily limit. However, considering that some developers may not have fully noticed this change, we have decided to provide a certain transition period.
After careful consideration, we have decided to postpone the implementation time of this policy adjustment to January 1, 2025. That is, for products newly created after this time point and the corresponding newly ordered and authorized devices, if the number of message reports exceeds the daily limit, they will no longer enjoy free services. If developers have special business - scenario requirements, they can purchase additional message reporting volume as needed. Products created and devices authorized before this date will not be affected.
We sincerely hope that developers can make use of this transition period to reasonably optimize the message reporting logic and jointly improve the user experience.
I struggle with creating the Virtual Device. I installed the “Device Capabilities” app and select the Advance Virtual Device. I can select an empty advance virtual device or from a template.
Since a week I have gotten the code (1010) with Tuya official app. Can’t login Tuya on Homey anymore. I still had a Home Assistant as redundant system where Tuya still works.
Also, can’t connect with the Tuya community app. It says “Permission denied”.
I think your best option is to raise this in the Tuya Cloud (community app) topic.
At first glance I think something with your Tuya IOT project hasn’t been setup properly
Any updates on this topic? Tuya signed the “Talks With Homey” program but the App is clearly broken. At the same time the community app is unsuported (although I’m super grateful for all the effort Jürgen put into that app). I have around 30 Wifi devices that are living a bit dangerously if this cannot get solved in an “official way”.
There must be another way to get Wifi devices directly into Athom/Homey without going through Tuya?
Yeah I don’t understand really. Because IOT is already active and renewed. Its works in Home Assistant tho. It has been a week since Tuya Official and Tuya community stopped working. I just can’t get it to work.
The few Tuya devices that I still use (4x recessed downlights, 2x wireless switches, 3x lamp bulbs) still work with the official app, but it does seems to be slower since last summer.
No issues since I switched over to Matter over WiFi Sonoff relays to control all of the lights with dumb toggle switches though. In fact, that’s been pretty amazing.
