Anyone try the new Tuya Zigbee 3 sensors?

Devices & Integrations
21

Have you tried it on the SmartThings hub yet? I suspect it won’t either until a DTH is created, or it’s fingerprint is added to an existing handler (custom or stock).

22

I have a Tuya ZigBee 3.0 humidity/temperature sensor. I can pair it with SmartThings, but nothing else - I can’t get any reading from it.

I thought that ZigBee 3.0 certification would ensure a seamless integration with no headaches, much as with Z-Wave and instead I’m wrong, apparently. Very disappointing.

Has anybody had better luck?

Cheers,
Max

What is assigned in the “Type” field for it in the IDE?

24

@dmax66, Jimmy beat me to the reply, so let us know. Try using “SmartSense Temp/Humidity Sensor” if it’s not that already.

25

I have yet to try. That time when I’m choosing my hub I was still thinking I have quite a couple of tuya stuff that’s why I go ahead with tuya hub. But just to clarify, not all zigbee is the same? Shouldn’t all zigbee be able to communicate to each other?

26

Out of pure curiosity, where did you get your 3.0 sensors? I’ve only seen them in China so far, and they haven’t even shipped mine yet.

That would be a reasonable assumption, but unfortunately not. As an example, Xaomi is notorious for making tweaks to the implementation that cause several issues, including the fact that some repeaters won’t ‘see’ the devices, dropping them from the mesh.

I’m not sure if its zigbee 3.0 or not but according from the page I purchased this item it stated that it support zigbee 3.0 protocol. Is there a way to check?

28

What was the page? That would be helpful to know whether someone misrepresented it. The new ones supposedly look like this. (a flatter version of the Xiaomi sensor, if the image is to believed)

Someone else might have more technical solution to determine capabilities. Unfortunately I don’t really know enough about that.

I brought the hub that say zigbee 3.0 not the sensor. The sensor is purchased by @dmax66

EBay, from China. Real bargain, and the Tuya hub and apps are OK

31

Which IDE? I am just using the SmartThings app

Absolutely not. If you read that somewhere on the forums here, it is a total fallacy.

All “ZigBee 3.0 certified” means is the product offers assured interoperability with specific ZigBee public application profiles defined for specific market applications, such as ZigBee Smart Energy, ZigBee Home Automation, ZigBee Light Link, etc.

ZigBee 3.0 certified devices still need device handlers / device drivers written for them to be used with any particular ZigBee-capable hub, including SmartThings.

How long did it take for you to get yours? (And if you have a link to the listing, that’d be great)
I placed mine on the 8th and I don’t think they’ve even sent it yet.

35

Same for me too. I’ve paid but they haven’t shipped squat yet. Ordered mine through Gearbest.

36

I ordered them on 21st December and I think I received them at the beginning of January. Seller is http://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/shoppingsatisfied

37

I just heard fro the site, and the light sensor is back ordered. Looks like I’ll be waiting a bit.

38

Follow my video about the integration of Tuya sensors with Smartthings. It is in Portuguese, but I believe it is easy to understand.

I have a feeling those are the older Tuya sensors that aren’t ZB 3.0. The 3.0 versions are only recently certified

Just got mine today, and it joined up as a Thing. It’s a nice tiny device, w/magnets on the back that allows for more mounting options.

I’m going to put together a simple DTH just to see what I can capture from this thing. For $11 USD, this is a cheap little project to work on.

Edit: So far it only reports when ever the button is pressed. It definitely needs their hub to configure it. Now I just need to figure out what all this does, the data section specifically:

If I could only find documentation (yeah, right)… It’s going to be fun figuring this one out.
