I don’t have that specific device, but almost anything should be supported using these Flow cards: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/e/c/ec4785a1b0ec511ed44aa3d0c14819a77bb2af61.png) ---

I have a sun screen (rolluik in Dutch) in the Tuya Developer Platform via SmartLife app. I use the Tuya Cloud app on Homey. I just installed this Tuya app. Can I now delete the sun screen from the Tuya Developer Platform? Or will it stop functioning? ---

You need to keep it in the Tuya mobile app. You can delete the Tuya developer project/account, those accounts are separate. ---

Oops, I removed the device from the Tuya platform but kept it in the SmartLife app. Now it is gone there as well. And adding it to the Tuya platform is a bi\*#!#@tch ---

Do not add it to the developer platform. Add it to the Smartlife app using [these](https://community.homey.app/t/howto-migrate-your-devices-between-tuya-based-apps/147280#p-683973-adding-devices-to-the-other-app-6) instructions and then add it to the official Tuya app for Homey. ---

Dear all, I ve recently added to my Homey Pro 2023 a new device, a connected power supply from the french manufacturer Konyks. I have added it as a Tuya device, the association went fine and the device respons to command and flows. So no issue so far. There is one little detail, it reports to use 0,01 Kwh every second. Hopefully this last information is wrong. I do not know Homey repors this, and where the bug stands, in Homey or in the Tuya App. See screenshot attached. [![Capture d'écran 2026-03-06 155401](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/1/e/1e1113b69c7e839fcd6d6a9a012be3e8d1437bb0.png)](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/1/e/1e1113b69c7e839fcd6d6a9a012be3e8d1437bb0.png "Capture d'écran 2026-03-06 155401") Using the Tuya app on a smartphone/tablet reports only the consumption when the device is turned on. What actions be used to fix this issue ? ---

You can try adjusting the scaling in the device settings. The Tuya definition doesn’t always contain the correct information for the app to automatically pick the correct scaling option. ---

Thanks Bert69, I ve already done that, and set it to 1/1000 at the very beginning. It adds to power management one unit every second. Looks like the API does not fill the correct field. ---

In that case the plug might be simply reporting the value wrongly. I wouldn’t be surprised, its cheap and most completely inconsistent Tuya garbage, but you can still try to contact the developer as mentioned in the start post. ---

Hi everyone, I have two automatic litter boxes connected to the Tuya app. They are sold under two different brands, **Zedar** and **Bome** , but they seem to be basically the same device. I was able to add Tuya to **Homey Pro** using the user code, and Homey successfully detects both litter boxes, as well as my robot vacuum. The problem is that the litter boxes appear in Homey without any usable functions or capabilities. So it is nice that they are visible, but I cannot actually do anything with them in Homey. My goal is to connect these litter boxes through Homey and then make them available in **Google Home** as well. I also tried linking them directly to Google Home, but no supported devices are found there either. So Homey seems like the best solution, but I am stuck on one point: **How can I get the functions/capabilities of these litter boxes to show up in the Homey app?** Has anyone managed to get Tuya-based litter boxes like these working properly in Homey? Is this something that can be fixed with the right driver or mapping, or is it simply a limitation of the Tuya integration? Thanks in advance. ![Schermafbeelding 2026-03-07 112424](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/8/9/89e765255f5922ed859b941a002650549ef9cab8.jpeg) ![Schermafbeelding 2026-03-07 112249](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/4/c/4ce756470212ac67efeb429c6cf49979d3f5cbd2.jpeg) ---

Litter boxes aren’t the most common devices as you could recon, please create an issue on the [GitHub repo](https://github.com/Drenso/com.tuya2) for the official Tuya app. Or reach out to the developer via the support/suggest options in the Homey App Store. That way the developers can have a look what they can do. ---
