I’ve got a new bathroom with floor heating. It uses the [Magnum MRC smart wifi thermostat](https://www.magnumheating.nl/product/mrc/). It works with Google and Alexa. I saw -perhaps on downloading the iOS app- that it was Tuya. But it is nowhere to be found ins Tuya apps. It’s wifi not zigbee. Someone willing to add this? ---

I am very interested too. In 4 weeks time i also have the same heating. I suppose there will be no app. Is there a way to control it with google and homey and maybe routines? So the other way around? ---

That is indeed it! The gates of the Tuya hell are opening! Yay. But I do have an account, a developer account, linkt the whole shebang. But… I cannot add a device (which is indeed the Thermostat (wifi). Hij vindt niets op verwarming noch A/C… ---

Then that device is not supported directly as Tuya Cloud Homey device probably. But, what about the raw command workaround? Or the tap-to-run scene option?

I am sorry, I complete read past this. Thanks so much. I’ve tried it now. I get results with a device ID. I automatically get the temp\_current values, which are 175 and 180. So I guess it’s in between 17,5 ° and 18,0 ° (which is correct). When I operate the device I noticed that I get only temp\_set values. But not the modes I set the device in. So I have to put the device manually in the right mode and then I can send the wanted values with the device ID to the heater, right? And I also can make scenes, which I can start when I receive the ‘current temp’ values. So it’s a mix of both. How reliable is this all? ---

A manual operated thermostat is most reliable. It should work fine when: -your wifi is up -internet connection is up -Tuya’s servers are online What kind of data does your thermostat send when you check the devices’ debug page? The same data should be sent through the text events. This is what a PIR sends f.i.: > ![Screenshot from 2022-09-26 18-20-25](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/c/3/c34b27e972d658ff91372c2c3f7d24d6171d2e0a.png) .

At app startup, these values are missing, too. So I can only use on/off, the mode (only “auto” is provided by my Duux heater) and the temperatures (set/current). If other heaters will have further modes, then a new mode capability must be created for each combination, I think. It’s not possible to change enum lists of mode capabilities on pairing, rigth?
