Tuya Web

Great news is the smart lights and smart power adapters (including power boards) from Bunnings (Arlec, Brilliant, Orion), Kmart and Kogan all work with Homebridge-Tuya-Web, most automatically appear too. I use the Smart Life app instead of each companies individual apps to set up the devices.

I really like the BlitzWolf LED strips...integration into HomeKit through tuya-web plugin

… have these. I almost returned them because I thought they wouldn’t work, but they do work with the homebridge-tuya-web plug-in You can add them to the Smart Life app, but for some reason the app does not allow you to change color or anything other than turn them on/off. However, the Homebridge plugin still lets you control the color

I’m using the @milo526/homebridge-tuya-web mostly because I didn’t want to deal with creating a tuya account, I did try the other ones, but I couldn’t ever get the tuya account to work. It can be a little slow to update the state of the device. It’s NBD for me as I’m (very) slowly replacing all my tuya devices as they fail anyway.

I can confirm that koogeek products (also BlitzWolf which I love due to their esthetics and abilities) work with tuy-web plugin. Although what I did was add koogeek (power strips in my case) to smart life app (even BlitzWolf products) rather than koogeek app. This helps to manage my tuya, koogeek and BlitzWolf in one SMART LIFE APP. This really makes homebridge integration a breeze since only one account is required (of smart life) in homebridge-tuya-web plugin.

I just installed a Merkury smart switch and installed via the way I described. Working great under Homebridge. But I have to say I like the Treatlife switch much better. I should have just gotten one of those on amazon. It annoys me that the Merkury light stays on all the time.

You can set it up with the smart life app and then use the tuya web plugin to add to homebridge.

I’m using TuyaWeb and it’s pretty good

Excerpt saved from Arctic Shift Reddit archive on 2026-10-22.

I'm using milo's plugin after trying a different one that required a dev account with Tuya's website that felt way over my head. All my devices (around a dozen) are surfacing fine, though I'm having a little trouble with settings for an overhead light that I made a post about just now. I had to surface that one through an Alexa plugin.

I use both TuyaWeb and the TuyaLan by Khan. Tuya web is better for LED Strip lights. Everything is setup in Tuya Lan for local control. On the Tuyaweb plug-in I hide all the devices. Unless it works better, then I delete from the TuyaLan plug-in and unhide it in TuyaWeb.

Didn’t need to do this. It worked with the Tuya plugin someone recommended without needing to flash

I used the “Tuya web” plugin yesterday for the first time. Worked seamlessly. I had an account registered on the Smartlife app, with 3 smart plugs already added. Just added my login to the plugin and rebooted, plugs appeared in accessories list as expected.

Honestly I’ve just swapped to the Tuya web plugin with zero issues. The current incumbent plug-in seems broken

Found this thread from a Google search. I can confirm, these are Tuya lights. The XMCosy app is basically just an older, infrequently updated, version of the Tuya app. I paired my XMCosy bistro lights as “string lights.” I’m using a Hoobs certified version of the Tuya Web plugin. It just hit 1.0 two days ago. https://plugins.hoobs.org/plugin/@milo526/homebridge-tuya-web

Hey I’m a newbie in this new world of homebridge and I can’t find a plug-in for my (cheap) bulbs and shutter switches I bought of Amazon. I control them both with smart life on an iPhone but I’d love to add them to HomeKit via my raspberry pi 4. Home bridge is running but I can’t find any plugins 🤔. I’ve googled and YouTube for a few hours and I’m more confused now than I was 4h ago hahahah Let me know what other infos I could provide and thanks for the help already Bulbs: Aisirer Switch: Etersky

Yes! I actually just got done setting this up earlier today. Blew my mind when I scrolled and saw your post. I have a Tuya 2 channel Wi-Fi relay for my fireplace (one for fireplace, one for a fan). I am using the “TuyaWebPlatform @milo526/homebridge-tuya-web v1.1.2” and my device configured through the Smart Life app (I see Tuya has an app now as well). The plug-in requires the virtual device ID which you can locate in the Smart Life app. Hope this info helps! Edit: to clarify, I’ve had luck getting the relay working with homebridge, as for wiring to your particular fireplace, I might not be …

I've added a Deta (bought at Bunnings) single and quad gang touch light switch to my smart home. First I added it to the TuyaSmart app. Then I installed the Tuya Web plugin - the config settings were my TuyaSmart app username and password. The only hassle I've had is that the I can turn the lights on/off via Siri and Home app with no problems but when I turn the light switch on/off at the actual switch itself, the status does not show on the Home app i.e. I manually turn the light on but the Home app shows it as off. The second issue is that the Tuya Web plugin is not recognising the fan …

Yeah, anything that uses the eFamilyCloud (or TuyaSmart or Smart Life) app are based on Tuya cloud API. I think you’ll want either of these to get started: https://github.com/AMoo-Miki/homebridge-tuya-lan Or https://github.com/basdelfos/homebridge-tuya-web You can also flash it with Tasmota firmware to remove all traces of Tuya and stop it from communicating with Chinese servers: https://github.com/ct-Open-Source/tuya-convert Tuya-web is easier to use and it just works for me. It uses your existing Tuya account details and works with the basic devices (plugs and lights/dimmers). Tuya-lan …

I've got lots of these (and other Feit) bulbs. Download the Tuya app on your phone, create a free account, add the bulbs there, install the Tuya Web plugin on homebridge and add the bulbs in the plugin config. They work...OK. They've flaked on me here and there and Homekit's color/temperature chooser is truly awful, but for the price, they work great for my needs. Oh, and the Tuya app is going to tell you the version of the app doesn't support the bulb. You can ignore that since you'll be using Homekit. EDIT: I just realized that maybe you have some bulbs with different/newer guts than mine, …

It seems like this product is based on tuya. Try adding it to the tuya app and see if you can get it to work with one of the tuya plugins It should work with my homebridge-tuya-web plugin; search for @milo526/homebridge-tuya-web

Indeed...since iOS 13 tuya bulbs are behaving like this. Also I have observed the same phenomenon in magichome bulbs as well. If you use the color wheel (pressing edit on preset color circles) the things behave as they should. It’s the preset colors that give trouble. The HomeKit model and tuya api are at odds on the color model - RGB HSV. I modified the tuya-web plugin to map the six scenes in tuya app to preset circles in HomeKit. The preset circles do not remember last value you set them to. Sometimes they send the preset color value but mostly they send a setColorTemprature command to …

Sorry to hear that. I have number of tuya rgbw bulbs and strips and they have been working great with tuya-web plugin. The preset color circles don’t work properly but the color wheel works perfectly. In your case, I highly recommend using official homebridge installation. HOOBS has their own layer on top of homebridge and I have seen similar issues.

Hi everyone, Just set up my Homebridge and a few Tuya bulbs. I'm having major issues setting light color through the Homekit interface and through Siri. Requesting warm white turns the bulb a bluish hue, and cool white a full blue. Is there any calibration I could do to get these bulbs to output corrct colors? I'm using the official Tuya plugin if that matters at all. Thank you!

Excerpt saved from Arctic Shift Reddit archive on 2026-10-22.

Yes it does...and easiest integration with homebridge is through cloud base ie tuya-web plugin. I have 6 tuya color rgbw bulbs and they works fine. Although they suffer from same problem as other bulbs ie HomeKit sometimes misinterprets color values. The OP has the deviceID and Key (that should be blurred) and controlling locally. There are two issues with this approach and probably cause of OP problems: NEW tuya bulbs or devices firmware do not respond to devicedID/key local commands and could generate weird problems like OP has described. Old devices firmware (prior to 2018) did work all …

… credentials in MyQ2... Anyway, all you really need is the "defaults" parameter after the "options". Your config file doesn't show an ID for the device in Tuya. Do you have the ID of the device? To find the ID of the device, you can follow the original TuyAPI method or the Tuya-Lan method. Never tried the Tuya-Lan method myself though... If the ID is set and the device_type is set to dimmer, it should work. { "platform": "TuyaWebPlatform", "name": "TuyaWebPlatform", "options": { "username": "Private", "password": "Private", "countryCode": "1", "platform": "tuya", "pollingInterval": 20 }, …

Hello, I use your plugin for shutters from SmartLife. It works fine, except that I have to reload the Homekit app twice to get the right status of the different devices. Wanting the "STOP" option, I took your version 8.0.0, but I don't have it even with the option activated. I don't know if this is a bug. But hey. I thought you would have used the options available there for alarms with 3/4 predefined options: "Open", "Pause", "(half)", "Close". I turned to a fix proposed by bSr43 ( https://github.com/bsr43/homebridge-tuya-web ) for the status of the shutters, and it works really well, I …

I may have a tip for you too. Have you tried the Homebridge Tuya Smartlamp Plugin with your lamp. Because I could connect my lamp to the Tuya Web Plugin, but I could only turn the light on or off. So I take a look at the other plugins and find out that the other Plugin could work with me lamp.
