BN-Link energy monitoring plugsWorks4-pack works with Tuya
Saved copy
But chances are you’ll find compatible ones with cheap prices. I got a BN-Link 4 pack of energy monitoring plugs that work with Tuya for $25, price might have went up a little. The Walmart stuff works with Tuya. Heck, an old WiFi strip that was on a different app...works with Tuya. Note, all these devices had their own apps, but Tuya app added them no problem.

Color Panda monitor light barWorksAppeared after linking to Tuya app and installing Tuya plugin

...it feels like a major victory! Anyone else feel that way? I've had this Color Panda Monitor Light Bar for a couple years now and it's been flaky to say the least. I found a workaround via the Google and SmartThings plugins but it occasionally dropped offline and stop responding to automations. Even its native app (half in Chinese) stopped working. In frustration today I power cycled it and got it back into pairing mode, then linked it to my Tuya app (which had never worked before). With that I decided to install the Tuya plugin into HB and after a long process that felt like hacking the …

Deta Grid Connect AC fan controllerWorks3 units working in HomeKit via Homebridge; Tuya future uncertain

I went with the Deta Grid Connect AC controller from the green shed. It’s Tuya and presumably the Brilliant controller is too. I’ve got them (x3) working in HomeKit through homebridge but the future for Tuya integration into HomeKit is somewhat uncertain currently. I’m on my phone but to summarise: 1) The official Tuya plugin is allegedly buggy and appears to no longer be in active development (uses cloud control). 2) An ex Tuya employee has created a plugin (0X5E). This is the one I use and it works currently, albeit with cloud control and a notable lag. Getting it to work can be a little …

Yeah, I always forget about that. Fight Electric switches are just built on top of TUYA, but I don't think their app is a reskinned Smart Life app. I think that this company mainly uses TUYA as a base to start with rather than as 90% of their product like most White label smart plugs do.

I spent some time trying to figure out how these Friedrich ACs are controlled over WiFi (out of the same curiosity and desire as OP), and discovered that they actually work with a Chinese company named Tuya's IoT platform. There is a fork of a Homebridge plugin, `homebridge-tuya`, that provides integration with the AC: https://github.com/iRayanKhan/homebridge-tuya Getting this to all work is a whole rabbit hole (but ultimately not that hard), because you need to obtain a device ID and secret key to add to the plugin config that allows you to communicate with the AC over your local network: \- …

Saved copy
I have one that looks identical but it’s an “gowlfeel “. I bought it in Amazon in 2021. It’s setup as a Tuya device and works well. I have it setup with the smart life app with some leak detectors and a “scene” to turn off the water if a leak is detected. My only issue is I can’t set it up local, so even with HB and HK t still needs internet. I haven't flashed them with tasmota. My only other small issue with the device is if there's a loss of power it will turn off the water once power is restored.

On top of that, four gaps in the connection lifecycle let a session hang or go stale silently, and a few characteristic read handlers could take a whole accessory offline.

OK, I have got the Meross bedside lamp and the $11 LED strip (Tuya compatible). Both are working with Homebridge and HK. All I want to do at this point is turn them red if a door is unlocked or a window opened and off if everything is locked up. It took a bunch of trial and error because automation is much harder than it should be. Scripting in the Home app is pathetic. Fortunately, it's a bit easier with Eve and I eventually got a working set of conditions/triggers/timers/scenes.

To my knowledge there are no “official” plugins. If there was official support then it’d be for HomeKit. As far as Govee. Id recommend you stay away. They’ve limited their API calls down to an amount that makes it useless for home automation. I’ve personally never had a problem with Tuya. It’s basically become a standard for multiple chinese companies. I also had a lot of success with Kasa devices. So you could look into them as well.

The values for color temperature are completely wrong, so you have to look at the light itself and select the color temperature based on that. As far as Siri control, I had intermittent issues. I swapped them out for Wiz smart bulbs which are similarly cheap, have a vast selection of bulb styles, you can adjust the fade on/fade off time, and their homebridge plug-in supports adaptive lighting. They’ve been rock solid. Another option are the nanoleaf bulbs which are native and have been flawless for me.

Merkury Innovations smart plugNot workingCannot find device ID in Tuya app; Geeni IFTTT workaround stopped working
Saved copy
Don't mind me hijacking this post, but, you can add Geeni gear into IFTTT through "Smart Life", it ties into Geeni natively. There are some problems though. Lights, for an example, you have to create a smart scene in the Geeni app to control them, so for example, when I come home, life 360 reports to Stringify, stringify changes my "at home"variable to true, when that changes to true, send a webhook to IFTTT to turn on the porch light. IFTTT gets the webhook and "activates smart scene", which really is just the porch light turning on. All of my smart gear at home is Geeni, I like it for its …

TreatLife ceiling fan/light dimmer switchNot workingDoes not work without linking to Tuya IoT developer platform; returned
Saved copy
I found that some tuya based devices just don’t work without linking to the Tuya lOt developer interface along with the smart life or tuya app . TreatLife fan dinners for one. I sent these back (I’m not using a service J need to keep renewing trial) and just got Meross fan light dimmers that have HomeKit. I also have found it better to re-add any legacy tuya based devices via Smart life app (toss tuya app in the trash bucket.) Then run the HomeBridge “Tuyawebplatform” plugin, fill in the Smart life login and try it before adding each one individually. All my Conoco plugs & MerKury strip light …

Hello, I’m new to HB. I’m using raspberry pi 3 model b+ with Apple Home. I understand the concept how the plugins work, but don’t understand how to get some of them to work.

Zemi-Smart Tuya blinds motorNot workingCould not get blinds motor working with homebridge-tuya
Saved copy
I use homebridge-tuya to locally control the Tuya CCT Wifi LED Controllers for my light strips. Those work perfectly and I would highly recommend Tuya products and iRayanKhan's plug-in based on my experience with those. However, I also have a Tuya (Zemi-Smart) blinds motor that I haven't been able to get to work with iRayanKhan's plug-in. So instead for that, I've been using 'TuyaWebPlatform' by milo526. That plug-in doesn't work locally and basically just controls the Tuya app which then controls the device. I'd recommend trying that first instead, it's much easier to set up. Then later if …

The Econet Bulldog WiFi connects directly to the Smart Life app via WiFi. My understanding is that Tuya bridge can be used to connect it to HomeKit. to HomeKit. I am trying to get some advice on how to setup the parameter setting and what I should use as the device type. Since the Bulldog is just an open closed switch I would use just a simple on/off switch. Does this make sense or is there something else I should use? I am not sure what the parameter is and how to set it up I can’t find any details. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

HOCH Tuya circuit breakerRequestedMight need manual device definition in Tuya plugin; untested
Saved copy
You might just have to pick on up and test it out. With the HOCH one you might have to manually add a definition for the breaker in the Tuya plugin code. It doesn't look like either does current sensing, but there are other current sensing products you can get. That said, I'd be careful with this one. It says it's "3C Certified" but after a little digging, breakers are a self-certification item, meaning all that's required is the manufacturer to say they're in compliance with standards and rules. That's not to say these aren't a quality product, but just be careful.

In ReReHome

Whatever this plugin publishes reaches Apple Home as a normal HomeKit accessory behind your Homebridge bridge, so ReReHome shows and controls it like any other.

Bridges get their own settings page listing the accessories behind them.

Caveats from the README

  • API trial must be renewed every 6 months
  • No LAN protocol support
  • One app account per Homebridge instance
