Question about connectivity

I´m considering buy home pro - new model. But i often found some products which uses supported apps but there is no exact device. For example i found this switch i teoreticly want to buy : WiFi + RF dotykový stmívací vypínač osvětlení - TUYA, Android/iOS .But when i look to your suported apps, there is tuya as app, but there is no product itself -Model: AS-WS-EU-D. Will device like this work with homey pro, becouse there is device generally called ,switch´´ with no other specifications (Tuya cloud App for Homey | Homey) . Thanks for answer - i really like your hub, but at first i need to know if i can use it like i want .

[EDIT] I now see it does not give you extra info, maybe you can contact Athom about the official Tuya app and if and how the support for all of the Tuya devices work. [/EDIT]

I think this news post from Athom will give you more info about Tuya;

The “official” Tuya app has been removed from the app store for now, because it stopped working.

you are kidding :rofl: :exploding_head:

Well @Petr_Simek, Homey does not yet support Tuya devices the way it should so i would not bet on it if i where you.

Please stay away from Tuya if you’d like to use Homey without many headaches.
Tuya just do as they please, and they want you to use Tuya (based) hardware only.
Except for Home Assistant as it seems.

I think it’s pretty hard to stay away from tuya (if your not all that into smarthome yet) with all it’s “sub-brands” … :face_with_spiral_eyes:

Fair enough.
But you can check the app store for devices/brands for example;
Most probably there’s no separate app for Tuya whitelabel brands, with Lidl as an exception (afaik), but the supported Lidl devices are supported by the Tuya Zigbee app as well.

And I’d stay away from cloud based devices as well, if possible.
(Yes I know, Homey is cloud dependant as well, but in theory only once every 14 days)
