Hi guys, before i buy i want to make sure this will pair with my homeu pro, can i also use smart switch ( tuya) to control it from homey and also from smart switch on the wall? if not can anyone recommend any motor will work with Homey Pro. Thanks ![1000019419](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/1/4/14ee5ecd3afecc962feb620b28ac0174e9e3eb87.jpeg) ---

There’s one disadvantage of Tuya zigbee and Homey > [@\[APP\]\[Pro\] Tuya Zigbee App](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-tuya-zigbee-app/26439/4748): > > Tuya is quite inconsistent. Models may appear to be the same, but > [@\[APP\]\[Pro\] Tuya Zigbee App](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-tuya-zigbee-app/26439/4744): > > Even if they have the same device it won’t be a guarantee that the device you will receive will be recognised and (therefore) supported. Of course you can [request for adding support](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-tuya-zigbee-app/26439) to the [Tuya Zigbee app](https://homey.app/en-nl/app/com.tuya.zigbee/Tuya-Zigbee/test/), but it _can_ take a long time. No clue which devices certainly work. ---

Switchbot works well and integrates with Homey which can control Switchbot curtains and scenes. Needs a hub. I also use mine as an IR blaster. Andy ---

For both Aqara and TuYa the same applies: you have to have the exact correct model, otherwise it won’t be supported. As @Peter_Kawa already pointed out, with TuYa you will never know if the device will work with Homey until you have it in your hands. Even if someone else has the same device, there’s not guarantee it will be supported. ---

> [@patryk\_sz](#): > > can you advise wchich exact model i have to have? For Aqara, look at the first post of the official app Thread on this forum. It contains a list of devices that are supported. > [@](#): > > also why same model but two different devices can’t guaranted will be supported Because internals of TuYa devices often change which means Homey is unable to recognise them. ---

If the device is supported by Homey, you don’t need an Aqara hub/gateway. ---

Hello I got now for a few years an Tuya curtains motor with a Tuya wifi usb module. It works great you need to install in Tuya app, after that you go to homey app and install new machine and select the Tuya cloud app, there you find curtains, if you select that, the curtains will appear. I got two curtains in the front and back and never had one problem with the motors. Ik heb net dit geweldige item op AliExpress gevonden.
