So im using this st the moment
Is it worth changing to the Universal Tuya one? The official doesnt work as far as I am aware only the experimental ones
What did you change to?
My 13a scolmore sockets dont report power usage
I cant get ANY zigbee device added now. I just get a warning saying something went wrong unable to connect.
Was fine pre 12.12. Ive rolled back a snapshot but the firmware gets pulled on startup. If i pull the ethernet I get back to 12.11 but the features of 12.12 remain so not sure whats going on there!
Anyone else got zigbee issues? Could be my bridge perhaps?
Maybe edit the homey-shs.sh script to disable auto update (it might not solve the current issue, but you can get in control of your next updates).
root@homey-shs:/usr/local/bin# cat homey-shs.sh
#!/usr/bin/env bash
set -Eeuo pipefail
IMAGE="ghcr.io/athombv/homey-shs"
CONTAINER="homey-shs"
DATA_DIR="/root/.homey-shs"
mkdir -p "$DATA_DIR"
# DISABLED: Auto-update on boot
# if ! docker pull "$IMAGE"; then
# echo "[homey-shs] Warning: docker pull failed; continuing with cached image if available" >&2
# fi
echo "[homey-shs] Starting with existing image (auto-update disabled)"
docker rm -f "$CONTAINER" >/dev/null 2>&1 || true
docker run \
--name="$CONTAINER" \
--network host \
--privileged \
--detach \
--restart unless-stopped \
--volume "$DATA_DIR":/homey/user/ \
"$IMAGE"
The official one only supports Tuya WiFi devices. The Universal Tuya app doesn’t support limiting the chattyness of the devices. You can check my somewhat elaborate experience here: Homey very slow - #19 by Rudi_Hendrix
From what I understand: with ‘official’ Tuya app, Welshsmarthome meant the Tuya Zigbee app by Johan Bendz.
Ah ok, clear!
It also supports ZigBee devices with a Tuya ZigBee or MultiMode gateway.
What i meant by the official Tuya app is this one from Homey.
But i know that wont support these devices - ive been using the Tuya Zigbee app mentioned by Peter but was wondering if there was another or a better one.
Ive settled on an entire reset and rebuild. I reset my bridge and the zigbee network. I changed my wifi and smartthings zigbee to try to avoid as much interference as I can (i did notice several new networks showing that ive never seen so my neighbours must have changed wifi)
Im going through each floor slowly adding and the letting them settle. Ive taken a snapshot after adding a few devices.
I did add in a second bridge. Now i know its been discussed that this creates a second zigbee network and may not help - time
Will tell but so far devices are snappier and i figured they would route to the best signal they can.
Strange that I cant see the second bridge in the developer portsl as a device?? Is that normal.
When i managed to get my snapshot to roll back to 12.11 although my issue was not resolved, i no longer got the Zigbee warnings in the log. As soon as I went back to 12.12 the log got hammered with them.
Since a while reset they have stopped. Perhaps the update just didnt load correctly and as devices were trying to send and receive it just shut down zigbee? I dont know but it was coincidently timed failure with the firmware change
How are your devices now after changing them?
Yes, that way you can also add Tuya Zigbee devices. But if you want to connect them directly to Homey you can’t. And that is where most issues here arise I think.
That is the one that I created my own version of.
Was wondering if other people are still struggling with this. Wanted to get back to this issue. Things seem to be back to normal. My Zigbee devices are responsive again and after installing the last stable version I opted out of the experimental updates. So far, so good.
What I still notice is that at least the TX values (and I think the RX values too) for all of the Tuya Zigbee devices increase rapidly!
It doesn’t matter if polling is set to 5 minutes or an hour: every second or few seconds the TX/RX number increases.
Are more people still seeing this? My main concern here is that although it is not directly noticeable I think it may be clogging up the network or my 2.4Ghz band.
When you mean 2.4GHz wifi band, it really shouldn’t when wifi/zigbee channels are fixed and tuned with care, Ruud.
The only thing these sensors possibly choke is the zigbee mesh.
Yes, my WiFi is on a different channel than my Zigbee. Sorted that out. The Zigbee mesh for now doesn’t seem to be an issue. Still it is weird that Tuya Zigbee devices cause this much communication.
Who’s Ruud? ![]()
If you have an ESP32C6 board, you can install this Arduino sketch:
It scans for nearby Zigbee networks, and with this you can view the channels used by nearby Zigbee networks (f.e. from neighbors) and you can adjust your own ZigBee channel accordingly.
Haha, that’s Rudi, but very creatively written in some peculiar way ![]()

It’s not…on all three accounts
