That’s the thing: these devices aren’t connected to Homey, at least not directly. They are connected to Tuya’s cloud servers, and Homey connects to those same servers. Which means that Homey users will take up resources that might otherwise have been a lot less.
Probably at fault of naming a gateway a hub. I have one. Tuya app might be the reason to buy more tuya devices to work together with this software. The app has limited logic with timers and triggers. Might be called a competitor for Homey.
I am very aware of WiFi is not a Zigbee
I am talking about Zigbee. I know there is already discussion about re-implemenntation of current stack using Z2MQTT. That is why I decided to ask. It could solve many issues and “cryings” like mine one ![]()
This thread is about WiFi devices, though.
Will never happen. Not only does z2m not work with the Zigbee/Thread firmware that Homey uses, it also works completely differently from how Homey works internally, and my impression of Athom is that they tend to suffer from NIH syndrome.
Yep, just what I thought
And again - sorry for off topic.
Very very sad, I really tried to struggle with it but tired up writing own drivers for each Zigbee device that is not supported. Maybe I will overcome my syndrome too and just switch back to HA completely.
Sorry again
Please discuss in the “[APP] Tuya Zigbee” topic
Today (March 20, 2025) I still use the Tuya App for Homey without any problem. I use it solely for controlling my Heatpump Adlar Castra Aurora 2.
So glad that I started in time using this great app …
Happy for you. Pity that it had to end like this
Hi Robert,
are you sure?
I would not try to connect a tuya zigbee device via this app as long as I can connect it via the tuya zigbee app or as generic zigbee device.
But as far as I remember my English lessons any is not a synonyme for WiFi.
And I could not find any other hint on WiFi in the description of the app.
Yes, you’re right, I have no idea what I’m talking about…
Hello, what’s the current status? Has Tuya discontinued the Homey interface? Can WiFi devices no longer be integrated into Homey?
Seriously
Just a little bit of reading will do the trick
Stefan, the first post tells the story.
Hi
Will Tuya power meter work in in the official homey app.
Can’t find it listed under supported device. If not, will it come in the future?

Answer = No
Any news about tuya zigbee intégration today ? Apart the api revokation and the intégration of the tuya cube private cloud ?
Best regards.
This was never about Tuya ZigBee. And the news about Tuya WiFi is in the first post. It’s dead
For tuya zigbee you should use the Tuya Zigbee app.
This works. Workaround (tested today with Coolcam wifi plug):
Create an Amazon Alexa account (no hardware required. Select Other as device). Install the Alexa mobile app (tested on iPhone). Find your Tuya device and test that it works.
Install Amazon Alexa in Homey - Log in to the app from settings with your Alexa page credentials. Find your device and select Alexa. Follow the instructions in the app. After that, all your Tuya devices will be in Homey, installed on the Alexa phone app. Of course, the Tuya device must first be installed in Smart Life.
It works fine.
