Homey only has generic support for lights. If you want to use other devices, you need specific app support. So best bet is to look at the Tuya app thread and find out how to request support for your devices.

There has already been a Request, but still no support. I’ll will make a new Request.

If there’s already been a request, you just have to wait. The app is created and maintained by a single developer.

I can’t find a request for your device at the [Tuya Zigbee app topic](https://community.homey.app/t/app-tuya-zigbee-app/26439).  
Where did you find the request?  
I’m just curious.

Longshot:  
Doesn’t adding your Moes as a Nedis 4 button remote work?

This is the supported Nedis device

I don’t see any nedis device in the Tuya app. Also I don’t see a remote icon

My bad. Edit the url of an official app page, and append `test` or `/test` to it.  
Then, if available, the testversion appears.  
Example:

I got the experimental version, but no luck. Doesn’t find the Tuya device. But thanks.

It was worth a try, sometimes the devices are identical on the inside.

At least the 4 gang walk button is identical outsider.

I have the Moes 3 gang wall switch. Also no luck in getting it to work.  
The tuya app shows the right image for the device, but it didn’t get recognised.

Tried the experimental app, no luck.

It’s still on the todo list:

(You can discover it, by searching for `tz32mtza` at that forum topic).

.  
You get to see the icon, while there’s a bunch of similar models supported:
