Hello,

Is this the right place to submit a request for the creation of a new application? If so, I would like someone to develop an application that manages this equipment [https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/1005005606019896.html?spm=a2g0o.order\_list.order\_list\_main.28.68d65e5bF77il5&gatewayAdapt=glo2fra](https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/1005005606019896.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.28.68d65e5bF77il5&gatewayAdapt=glo2fra). This application, called Smart Life, is available on the Apple App Store [https://apps.apple.com/fr/app/smart-life-smart-living/id1115101477](https://apps.apple.com/fr/app/smart-life-smart-living/id1115101477) and also allows for the management of air conditioners. I am aware of Tuya ([https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-tuyapi-neo-coolcam-wall-plug-wifi-app/15811/322](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-tuyapi-neo-coolcam-wall-plug-wifi-app/15811/322)), but I find the setup process to obtain an API key very complicated. Is my request possible?

So instead of asking help with that app, you’re asking for a new app?

The complicated process is not the fault of the Homey app but the fault of how TuYa’s systems work, so a new app will not miraculously make the process less complicated.

Smartlife is just a lable of tuya…

And there are already many topics and multiple apps for [Search results for 'Tuya order:latest' - Homey Community Forum](https://community.homey.app/search?q=Tuya%20order%3Alatest)

Maybe ask Tuya

or switch to a supported brand .

Thank you, I submitted a request through your link. Do you know another brand that can manage this equipment so that I can download another Homey application?

Yes, what I’m looking for is a new application that is based on the Smart Life app and can retrieve account information to control RGB LED strips and an air conditioner.

That app already exists, and it’s called the TuYa Cloud app.

</div>

Yes, I tried it, but I couldn’t get the LED strip to be discovered. Do you think it would be possible with this application and this strip? Perhaps it’s because it’s already associated with the Smart Life app and needs to be dissociated before linking it with Tuya Cloud?

It’s probably possible with that app, yes, you just need to follow all instructions _very_ carefully. Smart Life and TuYa [are the same](https://support.tuya.com/en/help/_detail/K9hrdz10p224e).

</div>

After analyzing, this application is as complicated as the other one, as it also requires the creation of the API access token. It’s this part that I want to ignore. It would have been simpler if the API access token were available directly in the Smart Life application, as is the case with some other apps. I tried to create the key API access token through the procedure, but it didn’t work. Too bad, I thought it would be easier. I made a purchase for nothing.

Or to put in another way: you bought a cheap device and are not willing to live with the consequences 🤷🏼‍♂️

Very unpleasant contempt…  
we don’t buy Tuya devices because they are cheap but also because often there are no other availability for the features they offer.  
Not everybody is a millionaire either…  
Please respect people and their choice. They just would like Homey to support their device (or homey will fail )

This has nothing to do with any of that. There’s a reason why TuYa devices are cheap: it’s much easier for manufacturers to put a ready-made TuYa chip in their devices instead of having to set up their own infrastructure, and in my experience especially the really cheap devices are of questionable quality (and if we venture into conspiracy theory territory, you could wonder who would benefit from having all those millions devices being connected to cloud servers controlled by a Chinese entity).

I don’t mind people buying TuYa devices at all, I have some myself. But TuYa doesn’t really want other home automation systems to be able to control their devices (why not? who knows, perhaps they just want to be able to collect all your personal data themselves…) and they make it very difficult to do so if you want to persevere. That’s not the fault of Homey, or Home Assistant (which has to deal with [the very same situation](https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/tuya/)).

If you want to use TuYa devices with “alternative” systems like Homey, you have to put up with the roadblocks that TuYa puts up before you can do so. It’s not Homey making the process difficult, it’s TuYa themselves. Complaining about it here is useless as nobody can do anything about it.

Not for nothing, dudu, cheer up.

Few users notice the following sections in the 1st post of the Tuya Cloud topic, which states **you can use almost any Tuya (based) device with Homey**, but not directly as Tuya Cloud app supported device:

> [@\[App\]\[Pro\] Tuya Cloud](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-tuya-cloud/21313/1):
>
> ### Not supported devices or functions
> 
> Only when device is supported by API, it’s possible to add the device to this app. because I don’t own all device types, it’s hard to implement a device type which I don’t own. Contributions to code are welkom to add unsupported devices. Other possibility is to use raw commands
> 
> ### Raw commands
> 
> You can receive all messages send for devices with trigger cards. Also there are now action cards to send commands to you device. On this way you can interact with not directly supported devices are commands. Combine it with the virtual devices app and you can control most of your devices. It’s a function for advanced users, there is no validation when sending a command to your device.
> 
> To get the device id’s, commands and possible values you can create a flow with the text event received trigger card. This card is returning device id, command and value for each action. Log the returned values to log app to know the commands of your devices, deviceid’s and possible values.

> 
> ### Scenes
> 
> This app support the use of scenes. In the mobile Tuya/Smart life app you can make ‘Tap to run’ actions( In the past they where called scenes). Those actions can be called in a flow from this app.  
> **The scenes for the official API are not automatically updated, for now new scenes will only appear after a restart of this app.**

bonjour la team  
merci pour vos vidéos. J’ai une grande question. Dans ma maison, j’ai installé 56 interrupteurs connectés Tuya/Smart Life, au total 182 boutons, deux cordons de LED RGB 30 mètres plafond corniche , ainsi que deux portes de garage et 7 caméras Blink, avec une Echo Show 10 3e génération au milieu de ma cuisine/salon pour utiliser Alexa. Jais aussi le pilotage des lampes de la piscine vigipool et ca marche avec smartlife & tuya et alexa … Ma question est : comment faire ? Exemple : 6 interrupteurs dans la chambre 1, 12 boutons au total. Comment créer un scénario où, en appuyant sur le bouton adresse 0101 “lumière plafond chambre 1”, je commande en même temps les boutons 0101-0203-0301 qui allument la lumière du plafond, sachant que seul le bouton 0301, nommé CH1 pour Alexa, commande la lumière du plafond raccordement électrique ? Les autres sont connectés au neutre et reconnus par Alexa et Smart Life. Je n’arrive pas à piloter le groupe des trois boutons en appuyant sur 0203 ou 0101 pour commander le 0301, qui lui et raccordé à la lampe du plafond. Si vous avez la solution, car j’ai une bonne trentaine de scénarios à créer. J’ai aussi acheté Homey Pro avec l’adaptateur Ethernet et Homey Bridge pour une meilleure couverture et stabilité… et la par-contre impossible de reconnaitre smartlife ??? help help impossible de connecter sur homey pro  
Qui fera l’objet d’une évolution de l’installation futur avec un dashboard  
Merci pour votre aide…
