I am trying to add a tuya cover to a homey pro. I have tuya cloud (0.0.15) installed on Homey with the same credentials as tuya cloud uses on my phone. I have no trouble connecting and controlling the covers with the phone, but cannot get the device to install on Homey. The method I use to add a cover is to press the end button of th cover till the light flashes slowly or quickly, I then press ‘+’ on Homey and choose cover but all I get is “No new devices have been found” Am I doing something wrong to set the cover in to add mode? ---

First pair the curtains using the Tuya phone app. Then it should be available as new device @ Homey Tuya Cloud, without need for any add or pair mode.

Please try to Change the “Telephone country code” to 31 (31 is for The Netherlands, please enter your specific country number). If 31 doesn’t give results, try 528 ( see message 56 in this thread: [[App][Pro] Tuya Cloud - #56 by Patrick\_B](https://community.homey.app/t/tuya-cloud-app/21313/56) ) OR if the info above does not help: remove the SmartLife app from phone. reboot phone install Tuya app on phone log on (or create) to Tuya account on your phone (NOT by using google/fb account) Connect 1 light … . And… if a device can’t be added, it often still can be controlled using scenes: > [@\[APP\]\[Pro\] Tuya Cloud - This app allows you to connect Homey to the Tuya cloud](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-tuya-cloud/21313/296): > > You can control almost all non-supported Tuya devices by using Tuya Cloud Execute a Scene card in flows. (So, not usable for sensors, because you can’t “control” them \> you can [use RAW Commands](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-tuya-cloud/21313/765) for those!). Example: Diffuser control via Tuya Cloud ‘Execute a Scene’ card At your phone: Add the diffuser to the Tuya app. Create 2 “tap-to-run” scenes inside the Tuya app. A scene for “Switch diffuser & led on” Dito for the “off” function.
