Hi everyone, About 2h of athom homey experience. So far I have been able to add most of my smart devices but can’t identify and add any of my wall switches. I got both 1 channel, 2 channel and 1 channel with dimmer switches. They are currently identified and pared with the Smart Life app and identified/pared under WiFi switch. Anyone with the same switches that’s managed to solve it? See attached pictures for two of the versions I use in my house.

If they are controlled by the Smart Life app, they are Tuya devices. There are two Tuya apps for Homey available: - [here](https://community.homey.app/t/app-tuyapi-neo-coolcam-wall-plug-wifi-app/15811) - [there](https://github.com/jurgenheine/com.tuya.cloud) Both aren’t trivial to get working though, I’m afraid. ---

@Wikman8 Did you ever managed to fix the dimmer switch? What Homey-app did you use to connect them to Homey? ( @robertklep ) When bought via AliExpress I want them to connect with Homey (ofcourse 😁) are there any more options nowadays? ---

I installed that app on homey yesterday but doesn’t look like it supports dimmer switches. Do I end up with dimmer switches which I can’t use with the homey app? @robertklep ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/3/6/360db4d2746faacc1214c99b5b9713fd6fc55980.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/b/2/b2cb308969a5e59712edaf1b8e76417a518dcb79.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/2/c/2c837cb5a1e203932a8f4061f3058727dadaf970.jpeg) ---

> [@Jackass](#): > > Do I end up with dimmer switches which I can’t use with the homey app? You’d have to ask the developer of the app to be sure, I don’t have any Tuya devices myself. ---

Thanks for the hint @robertklep Seems like it is going to work, would be awesome. The app does connect with cloud and my dimmer-switch pops up. 💪 Need to test it though as I am working on electric at the moment. 🥳 ---

@Jackass Haven’t looked in to it recently if it is possible. At the time I wrote about it I tried everything I was recommended but never got it to work. At the moment they are all controlled by eWeLink… but I hope they eventually will work with my Homey. ---

Hi, @wikman8 It works! Download “Tuya cloud” app for Homey. Config it first Then add a device and select the Tuya cloud app. Then select “Light” From there on it’s a simple process. Enjoy your dimmer-switch by using it in your Homey flows. ![IMG_3889.jpg](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/4/e/4e45efa87018bd3480abadd9a4a101f1d7dd5c26.jpeg) ---
