Hi, somebody experience with this Tuya Valve connection to Homey pro? [https://nl.aliexpress.com/item/1005006084631340.html](https://nl.aliexpress.com/item/1005006084631340.html) The Tuya app does not mention this device however it does suggest it would work with e.g Zigbee etc. thx, Tom ---

If you havent bought it yet, i’d advise to look for a different brand. Unless you love to tinker and know a fair share about code. Tuya is big but not for everyone for use outside of their own apps. ---

thank you Jepke, no I have not bought anything yet. I’ll first try to make the iyems work before I switch to reality. Any suggestion which brand I could choose?. Have not found any RF ballvalve with Wifi and app so far. Mvg, Tom ---

Hello Tom, When you’ve read the Tuya Cloud app topic, you should’ve encountered these sections: ![Screenshot_20240114-180324_Chrome](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/5/4/541efe503b22d753fefdbbad69fc4a69d8f96eb9.jpeg) > ![Screenshot_20240114-180356_Chrome](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/2/0/20a86a418f09e382f377e654c708ac0353aba38b.jpeg) You can find links to the ‘tap-to-run’ and ‘RAW commands’ in there as well. A simple valve can be operated by using 2 tap-to-run scenes, one for open and one for close The links to the app topics can be found at the app page at the homey.app store ---

Hi Peter, I didn’t overlook this part but took it as an option to only ‘open/close’. and that is not what this valve can do, provided it works via the app it can open and close in steps of 10%. did I understand this wrong? rgds, Tom ---

Hi Tom, that doesn’t matter. You could create 10 additional tap-to-run scenes as well, one for “open valve 10%”, one for “open valve 20%” and so on. Or you can use the RAW commands to set the valves to a certain position. It saves you the creation of tap-to-run scenes. ---

Ahhh ok thanks. Ok, thanks for the clarification. Rgds, Tom
