I don’t think that type is supported in the Tuya homey app, but you can do it by creating a tap to run scene in Tuya and triggering that scene from a flow. If you want to have a device for it, you could create a virtual button in homey and use that virtual device to start the homey glow that triggers the Tuya tap to run scene 🙂 ---

This is all very new for me and I can nothing about coding. How and where can I update to newer APIs? ![Screenshot 2023-09-03 at 11.16.52](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/b/6/b60eb659edfacf2b0319a6bf1583403ee457dc77.jpeg) ---

Hi, I have an issue, I have added an Hombli outdoor socket, and and HiHome indoor socket to the Smart Life app. Everything is linked in the Tuya cloud. Starnge thing is I can add the Hombli plug but not the Smart Life app, I have read about an 10 min delay which is almost 20min now and still it doesn’t seem to add the HiHome device. I have deleted the Hombli Plug to re-add to homey and this works perfectly. Anybody who has the golden tip:) ---

> [@Danny\_Coolen](#): > > I can add the Hombli plug but not the Smart Life app Indeed, you can add a device ✅ No, you can’t add the Smart Life app ? How would you add a complete mobile app as a device to Homey? Can you explain what you mean with “can not add the Smart Life app”? ---

Hallo zusammen, nachdem ich die Tuya Cloud eingerichtet habe konnte ich einen Sensor auch hinzufügen. Leider aktualisiert dieser mir den Wert nicht. Erst wenn cih auf homey die APP Neu Starte wird dieser Wert 1x aktualisiert. Wenn der Sensor bewegt wird passiert wieder nichts. Erst wieder nach der APP Neustart ist wieder der aktuelle Wert da… woran kann das liegen? In der Tiya Developer Center ist alles ok und hier aktualisiert der Sensor auch… Danke vorab ![grafik](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/6/d/6d437f6c873908347eee32c2aaad896454b3ef6d.png) ![grafik](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/4/e/4e438bbd5e3cd4f90fcabc765fb6d9fb8e268f1e.png) ---

Hello, I have several thermostats under Tuya/Smart Life. Is there an easy way to integrate this into Homey Pro? I’ve already seen dozens of tutorials on how to read the API… but either the tutorials are too old or it just doesn’t work (maybe that’s just me 😅) ---

David, it would help if you add links to those dozens of tutorials and howto’s, you already followed, to be able to show you which is “too old”. A few posts earlier I posted a YT video, which shows about everything, which is plain accurate. And, did you bother to look for the dedicated Tuya Cloud app topic? There’s a 100% accurate and up-to-date howto and FAQ present per opening post, like many apps have. Links to those dedicated app topic are present at the app’s homey.app store page. When you’re stuck, please use the same app topic to ask for support. ---

Hello, The link you gave (a few posts ago) didn’t work for me… for whatever reason 🤷. I get the “result” in the tuya developer app…but I can’t configure the app in homey with it. ---

You’ll find the link at the app page at homey.app. Then, in post #1 of the Tuya Cloud topic, you’d look for “tap-to-run” and “RAW commands” how-to’s. With that, you can theoretically use any Tuya device with Homey. ---

I cannot connect to my phone app, I have 20 devices but it’s the API access ID & secret that are holding me back? I guess I am to use the login details as of the app on phone, right? Also the similar issue with the homey Tuya app, this one would be the better, right? As it doesn’t need the cloud to operate, right? Please help 🙂 ---

Hi there! Recommendation: Start by checking if your trial period in Tuya IoT Platform has expired, and renew it if it has! I had the “Please configure your app first” problem with the Tuya cloud app in Homey and for me the solution was to extend the trial period, as suggested in this thread. From I selected “extend trial period” until it was accepted it took about 5 minutes. Now I just need to edit all flows that contained the Devices that were removed while I was debugging this issue, as I uninstalled the Tuya cloud app from homey and started from scratch. > **[涂鸦智能平台](https://auth.tuya.com?from=https%3A%2F%2Fauth.tuya.com%2Flogin%2Fsilent%3Ffrom%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Feu.iot.tuya.com%252Fcloud%252Fproducts%252Fdetail%253FabilityId%253D1442730014117204014%2526tab%253D1)** > > 涂鸦智能,全球化智能平台,提供智能大小家电,智能电器,智能电工,智能照明,智能安防,智能娱乐,智能健康,智能穿戴以及全屋智能一站式人工智能物联网解决方案, 涵盖硬件接入, 云服务和APP软件.形成人工智能 + 制造业闭环 ![Screenshot from 2024-02-23 14-18-41](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/b/5/b563d0a21118fafcdd2e63a63fcc860ea9b73909.png) [Previous page](https://community.homey.app/t/how-to-get-started-with-tuya-cloud/42604.md?page=4) [Next page](https://community.homey.app/t/how-to-get-started-with-tuya-cloud/42604.md?page=6)
