Maybe ask in the App thread, are you using this app: [[APP][Pro] Ubiquiti UniFi Network](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-ubiquiti-unifi-network/42967) ---

Thank you. The thread talks about an app but I can not see where I should get this app. ---

I have Homey (not Pro) and it can not discover any devices on unifi network. Unifi app for Homey is only for Homey Pro. ---

Zeebee 220v power switches that I have 15 of. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/d/2/d2978d949f5741dca6d70b8eaf28d7bd4acd447e.jpeg) ---

Yes thats why I asked how Homey can discover automatically the devices in an unify network. Sombody suggested an app for unifi. ---

Judging by your previous post, your question is actually _“How can Homey control my Zeebee power switches?”_ It doesn’t seem relevant that they are connected to a Unifi network. I can’t find anything on that brand, but I’m about 99% sure that you can’t use them with Homey Cloud. _Possibly_ with Homey Pro, if they are Tuya devices, but like I said, I can’t find anything on the “Zeebee” brand (or do you mean “Zigbee”?). ---

Yes I am sure Tuya devices. I have an app Smart Life that controls them. My initial question was, why Homey can not discover these devices in a list when I want to add devices. Is it because of the unifi network limitation or something else! ---

> [@Keivan\_Baghchei](#): > > My initial question was, why Homey can not discover these devices in a list when I want to add devices. Well, you didn’t mention _what_ type of devices, and from your question it seemed that you were looking for a way to find _Unifi_ devices, which is why someone mentioned the Unifi app. > [@](#): > > Is it because of the unifi network limitation or something else! Tuya devices are only supported by Homey Pro. ---

Tuya Zigbee plugs should work with Homey bridge, using the Homey generic zigbee ‘app’. But, then you’ll have to buy a Homey bridge for zigbee support. ---

(Homey = the cloud app Homey bridge = additional hardware to add local radios like zigbee, zwave etc. to Homey) When you own a bridge, you can do this: Just add a new device Then, choose Homey ![Screenshot_20230316-192445_Homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/2/3/23bb091d72c1e4b1dfa6d4cc596593dfbea0a2de.jpeg) Then, choose zigbee ![Screenshot_20230316-192517_Homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/9/3/93b37318a4684f041272a2d18a8d8bba30b0a784.jpeg) Enable smart plug pairing mode, and it should connect. I hope it works for you now! ---
