For some none of my devices are reacting anymore. I already tried repairing it, that didn’t help. Also restarting the app didn’t do the trick.

So what can I do further?

Maybe re-log in to your Tuya account in the Tuya app’s settings.

I don’t know what happened, but after I restarted the tuya-app in Homey again it worked again…

As far as I recall, you can retrigger the log in process (in which you have to scan a QR code from within the SmartLife app) in case you were logged out, by trying to add a new Tuya device device.

Good to hear. A restart of the app and:or repair of a device tends to solve it in most cases.

I am having the same problem as some others. My devices randomly stops working and are “unavailable”. It can happen 1-3 times a day.

 ![1000055393](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/f/b/fb03ed39ba9ef096445d6a54a77d49e25d741663.jpeg)

Repairing works sometimes but sometimes it doesn’t. Restarting Tuya app makes everything go crazy.

![1000055398](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/d/1/d14240a3467e788253e8ecffd19f57dd5422ae40.gif)

So I tried repairing devices again but restarted Homey. This time it took nearly 10 minutes to fully boot and connect with the Homey. It took a few tries but eventually it worked again.

What is happening?

I didn’t do anything special, I just waited and tried if it worked from time to time.  
Im guess there where some server problems, that are resolved after a while.

it might take a different time for everyone

FYI, all my Tuya devices are not working again, getting a timeout.

I have the same problem for about 24 hours. All devices are non-responsive and some show as unavailable. If I login again (try to repair a device, login with QR code etc) some work for a few minutes but then they all fail again. Restarting the app doesn’t do anything positive.

Any ideas anyone?

</div>

I had to restart the Homey Tuya app twice to get my devices back. First time cleared the ‘device unavailable’ message but turning on a switch, for example, changed the icon, nothing happened and the icon changed back a few seconds later on its own. Second restart restored full function. Then the issue happens all over again a few hours later.

As it happens, I found one of my smart plugs refused to connect, was very warm and buzzing. It had failed. I don’t think that was connected, given others have the same problem.

I can confirm the Android app and Alexa continued to work OK. I tried googling for HA issues and it seems they don’t have the same problem which indicates it’s Homey-specific.

The developer of the Tuya-app [mentioned on Homey’s Slack channel](https://athomcommunity.slack.com/archives/C04E9KJAD/p1785655703619119?thread_ts=1785655149.311349&cid=C04E9KJAD) regarding Tuya that:

`Their cloud is unstable from time to time, which seems to trigger a bug in the OAuth library causing it to forget the refresh token.`

So the app loses the login credentials and cannot access the Tuya cloud anymore. The work-around is to restart the Tuya app on Homey and then repair one of the Tuya devices (via the Try to repair-option in the Maintenance menu in the device tile).

Thanks for this tip. My devices seem to be working OK now - fingers crossed.

I didn’t know about the Slack channel. TBH, I didn’t know about Slack at all!

Try re-pairing the device and then restart the app, that solved it for me.

Finally, that seems to be working. Hope it stays stable now.

\* Edit

It was short-lived.  
It is an official app. Has anyone had a response from Athom yet?

I have created a script that should repair the problem if it occurs again.

Havent tested it yet, because everything works atm

and did had to message myself through a webservice, becouse my (old) homey doesnt allow communication towards flows.

If anybody has ideas, hints or anything else, please let me know, even if this is totally crazy

```auto
async function notify(subject, message) {
  try {
    await fetch('http://192.168.178.2/services/sendmail.php', {
      method: 'POST',
      headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
      body: JSON.stringify({ subject, message })
    });
  } catch (err) {
    console.log("API-fout:", err);
  }
}

const devices = await Homey.devices.getDevices();

const tuyaErrors = Object.values(devices).filter(d =>
  d.driverUri &&
  d.driverUri.includes('tuya') &&
  d.available === false
);

if (tuyaErrors.length === 0) {
 // await notify('Tuya OK', 'Tuya-check: geen fouten gevonden');
  return 'OK';
}

await notify('Tuya fout', `Tuya-fout gedetecteerd bij ${tuyaErrors.length} apparaat/apparaten`);

try {
  await Homey.apps.restartApp({ id: 'com.tuya.cloud' });
} catch (err) {
  await notify('Tuya fout', `Tuya-app kon NIET worden herstart: ${err.message}`);
  return 'App restart failed';
}

let repaired = 0;
let failed = 0;

for (const d of tuyaErrors) {
  try {
    await Homey.devices.repairDevice({ deviceId: d.id });
    repaired++;
  } catch (err) {
    failed++;
  }
}

if (failed === 0) {
  await notify('Tuya herstel', `Tuya-herstel voltooid: ${repaired} apparaten gerepareerd`);
} else {
  await notify('Tuya herstel', `Tuya-herstel gedeeltelijk gelukt: ${repaired} OK, ${failed} mislukt`);
}

return `Repaired: ${repaired}, Failed: ${failed}`;
