Maybe you wanted to buy the wifi version?  
A presence sensor on zigbee isn’t a good idea btw. It can be very chatty, and clog your zigbee mesh.

If uncle Ali says it’s supported by the Tuya app, you’re wrong I’m afraid;  
They don’t mean the Homey app, they mean the mobile Tuya Smart app, and you’ll need a Tuya zigbee hub.  
From the link you posted:

And, please read this topic about the big issue with Tuya zigbee devices and Homey:

> For both Aqara and TuYa the same applies: you have to have the exact correct model, otherwise it won’t be supported. As @Peter_Kawa already pointed out, with TuYa you will never know if the device will work with Homey until you have it in your hands. Even if someone else has the same device, there’s not guarantee it will be supported.

What you can try for now: install the [Tuya Zigbee test](https://homey.app/en-nl/app/com.tuya.zigbee/Tuya-Zigbee/test/) version of this Homey app, it supports many new devices and devicetypes.

If it still doesn’t work:

- Request for support, first read the first post [here](https://community.homey.app/t/26439); this can take a while
- return the sensor, and first check which sensors are supported before the purchase
- buy a Tuya zigbee hub (€10‐15), and connect it with the [Tuya Cloud app](https://community.homey.app/t/21313) to Homey, and/or request for support [here](https://github.com/athombv/com.tuya/issues/new?assignees=&labels=&projects=&template=new-device-request.md&title=Request+Device%3A+%3CDevice+Type%3E), the new Tuya app by Athom
