I didnt receive any receits or manuals, so I have no idea:
what exact model
what its current capabilities are
If possible how to connect to homey
If not possible if I can buy or replace (for example the contoller?) to connect to preferably zigbee (its the protocol all my lights are on already so seems better than another wifi signal in the house).
Bit worrysome, seems like Chinese stuff, can’t really tell if quality is great.
In any case, It says connectiveness is optional (wifi and/or zigbee). Is there a way before I try connecting this where you can check from the hardware out if I have these options on these devices?
If the Brel app doesn’t recognise the remote(s), or if the signal range isn’t wide enough:
Install Tuya Smart app.
Pair the devices
If it works, you can use them with Homey by using the Tuya Cloud app.
Probleem is dat ik geen app verder verbonden heb, is dit wel een logische stap? Ik probeer even te begrijpen hoe dit moet werken, want deze methode heeft het over een app, wat anders is dan beide beschrijvingen (Thanks @Hugo)
Ik heb ook een afstandsbediening geprobeerd, dacht wellicht leest die het signaal dan uit de lucht om deze dan vervolgens te kopieeren op commando(?), maar als ik de gordijnen open doe op de bediening op de muur werkt die methode iig niet:
The positive thing is that there’s something about Wi-Fi on the back. So I assume this unit needs to be paired. Only I don’t see a pairing option anywhere. Possibly by holding a button or something, but I don’t want to mess around with it and risk breaking the connection between the motor and the plate.
Hey this visually even looks like my device. Thing is, when I download the Tuya cloud app or one of the others I see I do not see the option to add like you do: Tuya cloud App for Homey | Homey
When that went OK,
next, in the Tuya Cloud app, add “Raambekleding” device (Curtain).
If it doesn’t get recognised, you can still operate it by creating tap-to-run scenes @ Tuya Smart app on your phone.
Those scenes can be started with flows!
How to:
So I try to follow the steps from the app to add them. I tried wifi and all others. When pushing the middle button on the plate and holding it down 10 seconds the top button starts to blink. Im guessinv that that is pairing mode. Its just not finding them. My router supports 2.4 so that should be okay.
I saw there are zigbee connectable ones for sale: https://nl.aliexpress.com/item/1005002510471714.html
Maybe buying this gives me a better experience? Just hope it means i dont have to set everything up on the curtains how far they should extend etc. If i go that route. This shouldn’t be this hard
Do you guys think this will work with the dooya motor as a replacement and also be compatible with homey pro when I do not have a hub? I really dont like an additional hun and want to connect to homey.
It’s always a 50% chance with the Tuya Zigbee app (Tuya puts different versions in alike (looking) models, and you can only find out by pairing it with a zigbee controller).
Would there be a different brand that could work with the dooya curtain motors that do offer better functionality with homey pro in your opinion? At this point I just want better stuff and make it work . Would have never gone this aliexpress route if it was up to me in the first place. But now that its all installed like this im kind of locked in I’m afraid.
