Fix Tuya RGB socket

Some Tuya sockets/plugs are reconized as RBG lights. In Homey you can’t control the switch functionality and you are losing the power monitoring for those plugs.
Example plug:

Other notes/Tips:

  • Get the power value (named cur_power in my device) from the plain text events which your devices send to Homey (Follow the RAW - commands how-to here.
  • You can “hide” the original device by moving it to a zone named z_DontTouch or 999_hidden
  • When you want to add multiple plugs, change the variable Tuya Device ID in your newly created flow. After that run the steps again.
