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:
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.
