Hihome smart plug

[Alex_I]

Anyone know if I can connect a hihome wpp 10s to homey pro? It is a wifi plug, I can connect it straight to the router without hub.
Maybe something similar from the list that can work? Since hihome does not appear in the supported names.

If it uses zigbee, you could try the ‘Tuya Zigbee’ app.
They look a lot like my Blitzwolf’s that i have connected with this app.

Edit i see these are wifi plugs.
Doesn’t Homey itself know them?

No, Homey hardly knows any devices out of the box, you need specific apps for almost everything.

Big chance it is Tuya based.

@Peter_Kawa

• install Tuya app on phone
• log on (or create) to Tuya account on your phone (NOT by using google/fb account)
• Connect 1 light or plug
• On Homey: Change “business” in Tuya Cloud app to Tuya
• Enter your country’s international phonenumber prefix. For the Netherlands f.i. it is “31” (don’t use zero or plus sign in front of it)
• Log on with exactly the same credentials as used with Tuya app on phone
• After 10 mins. you should be able to add the device(s).
• • After adding, wait another 10mins before they can be controlled.

Thanks a lot Peter, this is awesome, it worked . Even if it doesn’t show the power consumption, the fact that I can finally add it to my homey flows is great. I’ve tried before with the normal tuya app from homey, not the cloud version, and obviously it didn’t work.
Cheers

YW, Alex. Unfortunately the metering data isn’t provided for by the Tuya API.
