I’m going to build a “door” for my robot vacuum, and have found [this package](https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004273227940.html?spm=a2g0o.cart.0.0.7d0138da96MfXL&mp=1) on AliExpress. I’m however not sure I will be able to get this WiFi controller to work with Homey, so I was wondering if anybody knows of an alternative I can use to control the actuator with Homey?

Maybe this gets you started

This is a bit more coding etc. then I’m comfortable with. Would be easier to just have something that is already set up and ready to go included in Homey. But I’m unsure if I will be able to get this Tuja Wi-Fi controller included in Homey.

Ah I see. A Tuya wifi controller should be perfectly doable with the Tuya Smart app (phone) and Tuya Cloud app (Homey):

> Hello Tom, When you’ve read the Tuya Cloud app topic, you should’ve encountered these sections: 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

Perfect, I can make a scene and run that 🙂
