These fancoils will probably be the only devices (hmm, think i’ve said that before 😆 ) using Tuya. I’ve created my own kindof Thermostat using OTGW, so I might get away with the one time creation of a flow for the fancoils. But basicly all I want is to be able to change Heating/Coling/Fan mode and maybe Fan speed mode. But the Tuya’s IoT portal is a website to change the settings of my allready added devices ? Right ? So that might even work with my current Tuya App ? ---

Like @smarthomesven indicated, it is meant for creating projects that connect to the Tuya cloud. The Tuya Cloud app for Homey needs such a project to be created over there. As part of that you also connect your mobile Tuya app/SmartLife app to it, so that you (or more specific the Tuya Cloud app on Homey) can control the devices in that app via Tuya’s cloud API. The portal is not needed for the Denso app itself. However, if you want to find out if changing the instruction mode is what is causing your issue, then you need to do that via the IoT Portal. And hence you would also need to setup a project as clarified in the earlier linked topic. But I suggest you wait for Drenso’s response first, as device support via their app would be the preferred option. ---

Just want to give an update: after multiple resets, moving device from Tuya native app to Della native app, & back to Tuya, I can report that the ambient temperature is now reading correct +/- 3 degrees. Performing temperature based flows is now back on the table. Hopefully this holds true for the upcoming future. The aircon is in my garage & flows will be helpful in maintaining a comfortable temp in the AZ heat. ---

**Pi-hole issues.** Added some bulbs to my SmartLife and followed the installation instruction. I had to disable my pi-hole to get past the QR code scanning, but then it added my bulbs. Unfortunately I can only use them from within homey if I keep my pi-hole disabled. If it is enabled, homey reports the bulbs as ‘not connected’. I have no problems using the bulbs with the SmartLife app if my pi-hole is enabled. Looking into pi-hole’s logs, I can’t find any denied connections for my homey. I’m not sure how to fix this… does anyone have suggestions for me? Thanks! D. ---

I have a problem with all sensors for windows and doors. I do not have the option to chose ’ IF’ flowcard when " The contact is turned on". I do have this option with detection sensors. I want a flow card that gets triggered at the moment the door opens. Is it possible to implement this? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/b/8/b8525143f1b5a73ecacfd66cf78404051aa359ab.png) There is also 2 Door Sensor devices not showing up at all in the ‘AND’ Flowcard list. And another problem is that the door sensors do not show last status. When it went off etc. It just shows “Everything works fine” ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/8/8/8882ae185bf11f78dd82ebae28b5aefbc6d1fbe6.png) But surprisingly there is only 2 door sensors which are working with the correct flowcards and showing status. ---

Have you set it up as a Generic Device? Also, which entries show up when you select “Status gets a new Boolean value”? ---

If you added them as an ‘Other’ device, then you need to control it and process updates the ‘raw’-way. In this case: - WHEN Status [Code] gets a new Boolean value - AND Yes/no is equal to ‘yes’ For the AND part use a standard Logic card. In the [Code] field you need to select the (code of the) capability that you want to check, in this case the one for the contact alarm. If your device is not supported as a ready made device (only as an Other device), then consider creating a custom Advanced Virtual Device (part of the [Device Capabilities](https://homey.app/en-nl/app/nl.qluster-it.DeviceCapabilities/Device-Capabilities/) app) that shows you the readings of the sensor. Or you could ask the developer whether your device can be supported. ---

I have two air conditioners that work with Tuya. However, Homey reports the humidity as 3%, whereas the Tuya app shows 30%. I can scale the value in the Homey app, but the options are 1/10, 1/100, etc.; I actually need to multiply by 10. Any idea how to create this to see always actual values in Homey? ---

I think you should select 1/10. That probably means that every 1% reported by Tuya means 30% in reality ---

Try: - Restarting the app, and/or; - Repair one of the Tuya devices via the Maintenance menu in the device’s tile, and/or; - Re-log in to your Tuya account in the Tuya app’s settings. ---

You use the Drenso app? It still works here. Or do you use the “old” Tuya app by Athom? Or Tuya Cloud? ---
