So I just received a notification that Smart Life are killing IFTTT This is a huge problem as I use a bunch of devices through smart Life that connect to homey through IFTTT Is there any other way? ---

Same here… can’t believe they are doing this tbh. There is a Tuya app for homey that can do some things but it’s far from what is expected. Not sure what the other solutions are but I am afraid that it’s gonna end here for these devices. ---

It’s crazy. It makes the whole sales pitch for those devices pretty poor. I mean integrating has never been more key to smart home ---

I can’t believe this thread isn’t getting more traction / help. Surely must be loads of people using Tuya devices?? I’ve come across Tuyaconvert which seems to flash tasmota onto these devices but a) I don’t have a raspberry pi to test at the moment b) I don’t know if that helps us get them working with Homey or not… ---

Yes, if possible I would say, Tasmota is the way to go. There is a Tasmota app for Homey, which (for now) supports plugs, switches and dimmers. Further development is expected. [Tasmota MQTT App voor Homey | Homey](https://homey.app/nl-nl/app/com.paveld.tasmota/Tasmota-MQTT/) ---

That’s handy to know. No ideas if my devices are supported but sounds like might be the way to at least try Wonder if there’s a way to do it without a Raspberry pi… ---

Another thought would be to use Alexa as an intermediary if possible… The devices still support Alexa so if I could somehow use Homey to send a command TO Alexa (i.e run a routine) then that might work as well ---

Omg… just came across > **[Tuya cloud](https://homey.app/en-gb/app/com.tuya.cloud/Tuya-cloud/)** > > This app allows you to connect Homey to the Tuya cloud Discussion here… [[App][Pro] Tuya Cloud - #2 by Jurgen\_Heine](https://community.homey.app/t/tuya-cloud-app/21313/2) IT WORKS! So, panic over… I have one device I can’t add at the moment which is a thermostat (tho I use it just as a switch with IFTTT), will request over on that thread, but for now this seems to do the job! ---

I wouldn’t be so sure, because, as you can read in the article, they are also changing/killing the API. I’m not that into scripts and API’s but I’m guessing this might also change the way apps communicatie with TUYA. ---

Oh really? Oh no… @Hannes85 isn’t this what we’re talking about? When you posted I thought you meant the one that needs to get IDs from the device (which was the first one that came up) ---

I meant the Tuya cloud app. Problem is that the entire api will change/close down so it doesn’t matter if you use ifttt or anything else, integration will most likely stop to exist. ---

Where is this info about then shutting down the API? I only received notice of IFTTT ---

It’s not May 26th yet, so it’s likely the reason for your problem is something else. ---

Use Brilliant Smart app for Tuya devices and IFTTT. They use, like many other companies, Tuyas products and their cloud. ---

Yupp. I saw Paul Hibbert mention it. What tuya devices are good to get? [Next page](https://community.homey.app/t/smart-life-tuya-killing-ifttt/29027.md?page=2)
