So a little more investigation and I can say to a level the Integration is working. I did manage to pull in a plug. It works fine. I did try “Other” and it did find all my devices, But when i added some they said they were working BUT i could not manage them. If i tried to use the Light Bulb option it seems to time out… I know i have around 50 to 60 bulbs. I did spin up my old Home assitant and that did not time out using their integration. So not envionmental ---

You can use raw commands with an Unknown device, you can do that by using the Raw command Flow cards ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/e/c/ec4785a1b0ec511ed44aa3d0c14819a77bb2af61.png) ---

I just got response from Drenso. The root cause of the pairing issue was found, and it should be fixed with the next version of the app (1.0.2). It shouldn’t take long for it to be released. So you know. ---

Does anyone know how this app differs from [Tuya cloud | Homey](https://homey.app/nl-nl/app/com.tuya.cloud/Tuya-cloud/)? Looks like both do the same thing. ---

The Tuya cloud app is harder to set up, as it requires you to register with Tuya for a development account and you have to renew your access every 6 months ---

> [@smarthomesven](#): > > you have to renew your access every 6 months True, but only if you want to use it without paying for it 😬 @techveer plus it’s a community (= one guy) app, available since 2019 as steady app; Drenso works for Athom (AFAIK). The community app does not support just any device, but it can control/read, in theory, almost any Tuya Cloud device. ---

Yeah, and I read the app is not maintained anymore (at least no active development). I am migrating all my devices now and it looks promising. I have just one device it can’t find: It is a device with class windowscoverings (homey:app:com.tuya.cloud:tuyacover). I do see a option in this new app, but unfortunately it can’t find new devices. Before bothering the developer, does anyone already successfull added a windowcoverings device? Thanks, Frank ---

Can you give a bit more info? What homey, what kind of device are you trying to add? Does the device work in the Tuya/Smart life app? Did you already added the device before (in the not working official app)? ---

You can run both apps side-by-side for the time being Yes I’ve added mine w/o issues ![Screenshot_20251215_150225_Homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/6/c/6cbb67f13e21cabadde9520bd9a805070d2bde86.jpeg) ![Screenshot_20251215_150351_Firefox](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/3/e/3e2c59f6fcbb508e138ac6026167317a637da52f.jpeg) ![Screenshot_20251215_150413_Firefox](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/f/a/fa83f0491c1f1532675557294384f075b189d46a.jpeg) ---

It’s a T-something plug, can remember the full name. It’s working in the Tuya app and I don’t think I have added it to any other Tuya app. I have deleted all other Tuya apps, yours is the only one I have ![IMG_0159](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/c/5/c56f7cd7e7cc78d78ca8648de510a2e3865066fa.jpeg) ---

@Per_Rydell I am not the developer 😉 Just a user as you are! I have added a couple of those sockets to this app. I never saw the oAuth2Client error. Using ChatGPT it referred to the Tuya app from Athom, not the Tuya2 app from Drenso. Make sure you have the Tuya2 app and not the tuya. Use this script in the [API-playground](https://tools.developer.homey.app/tools/api-playground) to check: `Homey.apps.getApps().then(f => Object.values(f).reduce((r,b)=>Object.assign(r,` `{[b.name]:b.id}), {}));` ---

Ops, sorry! Thanks for the answer, I executed the script and it is Tuya2 I’m using. And you are right, I have seen this error before trying to get my Tuya sockets working using different apps. Any idea how I can get rid of this errror? ---

I didn’t say _you_ are annoying, cheer up. Also, remember you are using a very early test version of this app. And you are aware, because it’s not findable in the homey.app store. Your Kardashianism is therefore a bit funny really. But if you are still with me, here’s the fix I found by just pressing some device buttons; So, I got the same situation, so it’s not your Homey or your Tuya devices, and you sent diagnostic for no reason. ![Screenshot_20251215_200118_Homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/1/3/13c64453aa0f911c1edfead10542d0cf68bf6378.jpeg) What I did, press some tiles. Hey! A clue: ![Screenshot_20251215_200618_Homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/b/e/be81683b3f37c43ba135458bb978257dd4692296.jpeg) ![Screenshot_20251215_200627_Homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/7/f/7fe8fcb67f68828f62930afd3a4fe4cb2f45216d.jpeg) Then I got guided to login again 🤷‍♂️ nothing special. Et voilà ![Screenshot_20251215_200910_Homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/0/9/09b035adc30b2d25d9ced84f4eb8ba0e8f3b74ed.jpeg) Thanks, Peet. ---

It also happened to me when I restarted the app (could not refresh login error). I think it’s because the refresh token then expires and for whatever reason it doesn’t create a new one (maybe it’s stored in RAM). For me repairing the device also fixed it. ---
