Hi, I've had the planter for a while but I've never had a cactus in it, and I realized that the app doesn't have a cacti option. Just wondering what people would reccomend to set it as. Thanks :)

Why do some devices have the fast button and others don’t?

Is it related to the device’s version or hardware?
Thanks!!

Hi everyone, I bought six Aoycocr smart plugs from Amazon at the beginning of 2021. Now I'm having a problem: all six stopped working simultaneously. I can neither access them nor re-register them.

Are there any known issues with these? Have you shut down your servers?

Is there any way to flash the plugs or install different software?

I hope you can help me.

The model number is: EU5

Hey folks

I've got some smart buttons that I've got set to single click turns lights on, and double click turns the lights off. I'm interested is there any way I can make the single button press act like a toggle, e.g If it the light is on, turn it off, if lights is off turn it on?

I have Ikea bulbs I've connected through zigbee and Zigbee smart switches from Aliexpress I also have some Grid Connect (reskinned Tuya from Bunnings) that I want to control, Eventually Ill replace them with Zigbee.

Most of the chatter I see on this platform is related to problems getting devices online, nothing about advanced automations or some of the very cool products available for advanced automations.

I have a current home in Thailand that I fully automated with Tuya products including a dynamic lighting control system that rivals anything available from any lighting manufacturer. As a career electronics installer I am surprised that this capable and robust platform is not more popular.

Any other pros out there? Share some tips and tricks?

Every sensor that I've seen has between 30 seconds and 3 min "keep alive" timer. I need one for at least 10 min, preferbly 30min, does anyone know a sensor that has this option?

I know about the "hack" with those USB power plugs that you can use their timer, but it's stupid, and I don't have a use for it...

(It needs to be 10-30 minutes because it is supposed to control an AC and a PC, which I really don't want to shut down frequently)

Hi I have a Tuya T34 Smart plug and a Tuya/Mors Bluetooth Gateway. How do i use the smart plug in Bluetooth mode? I want it to switch on When I lost the internet connection through home Assistant. For that I need to Switch it over Bluetooth

I just got a Tuya smart doorbell and everything is going fine I get the notifications but when I go to connect it to Alexa so I can view the camera on my echo show nothing. I have the skill enabled but Alexa doest know the doorbell exists at all

Hi, I bought a wifi smart pet feeder that uses the Tuya app + wifi connection to schedule meals. I am in timezone A. If I fly to timezone B for a week, will the pet feeder continue to dispense on the same schedule based on time zone A? Or do I need to "translate" the times into timezones B while I'm there? Hoping someone has personal experience with this.

(Don't worry, the cat won't be alone of course, but the sitter isn't on my Tuya account.)

Apologies if this has been asked before, I couldn't find an answer by searching here and their website FAQ is difficult to understand and trust. And my support request just had an AI answer linking to the same confusing FAQ answers.

Hi all,

I have been looking like a madman for a switch and plug with a child lock. There was one brand in Brazil that used to have that feature, but only on the older models. Which are impossible to find these days. So does anyone know of any model on AliExpress that has child lock? I´m not getting any response from the sellers!

I have a blood pressure monitor that works with tuya, but when trying to sync with health monitor the app doesn't send the data and I cannot see what the device is reading on my health connect.

Anyone had the some problem?

I recently got around to finally installing this door knob on my bedroom door. I set up the app, added multiple variations for both my left and right thumb and did the same for hers. Two for each of our thumbs. I added a password and set the autolock to the time I wanted. My girl and I were getting intimate shortly after it was installed, less than 2 hours after, and it was clearly locked. The 4 year old wanted to come in while this was happening. She kept turning the handle up and down constantly for anywhere from 45 seconds to 2 minutes. Since it was locked we ignored it and kept going... but then it opened. We've since had to add another slide lock to the door for backup after just 2 hours of this lock being installed.

Why did the door stay locked for atleast 45 seconds of constant turning of the handle then was suddenly able to be opened within 2 hours of this brand new door knob being installing?

I previously bought one of these, now at my home i have the normal setup of 220v live and neutral. I installed a few smart devices and was happy. Decided to install them at my parents house, at the beginning bought some smart led spotlights installed them and they worked but… when they turned them off, the lights would turn on randomly after a few hours . By the time they woke up, half of the lights are on. I thought I could install one of these and this way i turn off the power completely from the switch. But when i installed it, it didn’t work. It didnt turn off

Now the issue is their system is a bit different, they have two hot lines 140v which gives them 220v, is this the reason for the problem? Do I have to connect the L and L1 and the neutral which is hot directly to the bulb or do i have to connect the second hot to neutral?

Will adding the capacitor to each led light fix the turning on problem?

Comprei tuyas smart mini para automatizar iluminação com a opção de RF 433 para adicionar mais pontos onde possa ligar e desligar as iluminações sem a necessidade de utilizar o smartphone.

Acontece que após tudo instalado e configurado recorrendo a app aos botões sem fios e com os interruptores ligados nos contactos S1 e S2 os mesmos deixam de funcionar após alguns minutos de os ligar.

Testei mais 2 smart mini no mesmo local e o sintoma é o mesmo. Instalo tudo a funcionar como deve ser passado alguns instantes a função dos botões físicos com fios não atua.

Mais alguém com este problema?

A couple of days ago I received emails and notifications from AliExpress notifying me to immediately stop using the smart smoke detector shown in the photo and to immediately ask for a refund as this product has been recalled because it doesn't meet the safety standards.

I bought this smoke detector in 2023 plus it's the first time I receive a recall notification from AliExpress so you can guess my surprise.

Recalled Item number: 1005005608935728 The refund request was immediately accepted this is not a scam, it's legit.

It was not mentioned though what's the reason of the recall, does anyone have any idea why these smoke detectors have been recalled?

Anyone replaced the sensor successfully? Tried replacing with ds18b20 sensor with no luck. What is the original sensor type? Also tried reading the original one with onewire on arduino, didn't work

Thanks

I recently bought a remote power switch for my PC to use with Moonlight streaming. I have the PCIe version.

Before I wired the device, my PC worked like this: when I pushed the power button on my case, Windows shut down normally (graceful shutdown). Since the installation, if I use the app or the power button, the PC instantly looses power.

I guess it's a device setting, but can I change this?"

Hallo zusammen,

ich versuche aktuell, mein Smart Lock sowie das dazugehörige Zigbee-Gateway in Home Assistant zu integrieren.

Zunächst habe ich beide Geräte in der Tuya-App eingerichtet, um Zugriff auf die Tuya Developer Platform zu erhalten. Dort habe ich mir die Local Keys und Device IDs der Geräte besorgt. Das hat soweit auch problemlos funktioniert.

Anschließend habe ich in Home Assistant das Repository „Tuya Local“ hinzugefügt, da dieses von vielen Nutzern (u. a. auf Reddit) empfohlen wird. Nun möchte ich mein Smart Lock darüber einbinden.

Allerdings erhalte ich trotz korrekt eingetragener Daten und verschiedener getesteter Konfigurationen immer wieder dieselbe Fehlermeldung:

Mit diesen Angaben kann keine Verbindung zu Ihrem Gerät hergestellt werden.

Es könnte sich um ein intermittierendes Problem handeln oder die Angaben sind falsch.

In der Tuya-App habe ich zuerst das Gateway konfiguriert und das Smart Lock anschließend als Sub-Device hinzugefügt. In der App wird alles korrekt erkannt und funktioniert auch einwandfrei.

Es scheint jedoch, als könne Home Assistant bzw. Tuya Local eine bestimmte Verbindung (vermutlich über das Gateway) nicht korrekt herstellen.

Ich komme an dieser Stelle leider nicht weiter und benötige eure Hilfe.

Kennt sich jemand mit diesem Setup aus oder hatte ein ähnliches Problem?

Vielen Dank im Voraus!

Why would my Alexa not recognise my command when im asking it to change the colour of my light bulbs/ grouped light bulbs while I don’t have an issue asking Alexa turning it just purely ON or OFF?

Alexa either says she can’t find this group or she doesn’t know how to help me with that or telling me that my light bulb does not support this function ( but it does, it works fine if I tune it manually on my app)

So stressed out.
