Hi everyone, I paired both a Tuya Zigbee 2-gang and 3-gang wall switch with Homey Pro, but Homey detects them as **“Unknown Zigbee Device.”** The switches work, but Homey only creates a single generic On/Off device. To control a specific gang, I have to open the device and manually select an endpoint from a dropdown. Because of this, I cannot create Flows for individual gangs. Has anyone experienced this or found a way to get Homey to expose each gang as a separate controllable switch? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! 🙏 ![IMG_3530](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/7/6/768f783b2af61e877f36dc4d10ee0f3eef5b1cbf.jpeg) ---

That means the device is not yet supported directly. However, you can buy a Tuya Zigbee or MultiMode gateway and add them to Homey using the official Tuya app: > **[Tuya | Homey](https://homey.app/en-us/app/com.tuya2/Tuya/)** > > Smart Life. Smart Living. ---

Thank u for ur replay . After i click on the app link i got this warning msg: **Warning!

Be extra careful when installing this app.** **[« Back to the regular version](https://homey.app/a/com.dlnraja.tuya.zigbee)** Is this normal , there is any risk to get this ? ---

This doesn’t mean that the app is unsafe or anything, it just means that this version/build hasn’t been checked yet by Athom. ---

Thank u so much for ur replay. I will check it out again . I also want to try the method you tell me that i can connect through tuya zigbee hub which i already have one . After i added from TUYA official app is show nothing inside, no device and no controls . Thr same if i try to add the zigbee devices inside the tuya that appear is show that device added but no functionality ![IMG_3600](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/4/a/4a039faf1386bacaf48f7bf80d97a1da45b7a3e0.jpeg) ---

You shouldn’t add the hub itself to Homey, you should add the switch (which is connected via the hub). I think you can select the “Plug” device type, since it works identical ---

Thank you again! Your workaround helped me discover all the switches in the Tuya app by adding the device as a plug. After doing that, the device appears with multiple switches inside a single control. I can turn all switches on/off together, or I can individually control Switch 1 and Switch 2 from the device page. However, the problem is that the switches are not exposed as separate devices in Homey. Because of this, when I create a Flow, I only see the main device and I don’t get separate actions or triggers for Switch 1 and Switch 2. Is there a way to expose each switch as an individual device so they can be used independently in Flows? My main use I want to do is when sensor detect movement is will trigger only one switch not the other ---

> [@Chaf\_Elmar](#): > > Is there a way to expose each switch as an individual device so they can be used independently in Flows Yes, you can install the app Virtual devices and create a virtual device for each switch. Then, you can link the “real” device from Tuya to each of the 3 Virtual devices from a Flow. You can then control the virtual devices as 3 separate devices ---

I have installed the virtual devices follow the instructions. In the flow is show only switch 2 as u see in the attachment. Not sure how to correct this cause on the flow will only ability to control one 1 switch . Not sure if i did miss something, thank u for ur help ![IMG_3622](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/b/4/b48fd1eec92d23931277f2224f57859eda5a5d68.jpeg) ![IMG_3621](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/9/b/9b2ae84df92c0178594bcfc8b0ef36cc076c51f3.png) ---

Use the “Turn [Switch] on/off” cards. You can select the specific switch there. You need to use separare Flows for turned on and turned off with the virtual device. ---

Its work perfectly, thank you so much. Just one more question. Is this would work even the Internet is down I mean, it will be locally or that would be depend. Depends on. Tuya cloud . My tuya zigbee hub will still link to my network ---

It doesn’t work without internet. However, when you do have internet, it will always work. I have had Tuya devices since 2018, and back then there were a few outages but I can definitely say that I haven’t encountered a single outage in the last 6 years of using Tuya products
