Google hardware event (October 6, 2022)

The new Google automations works well with Tuya/SmartLife switches, plugs and lights. I have not tried it with fans.

Smart Life integration (July 2020)

For those of you using the work arounds mentioned above with your Tuya/SmartLife integrations the main problem was that it was a 1 way integration. ST had no problem controlling the Tuya/SmartLife devices. But if you operated the physical switch or control the device used the Tuya/SmartLife App the SmartThings App was not updated. Now there is a workaround for that problem. Earlier today @Automated_House posted that Google integrations have been expanded so that a fan, light, plug or switch can trigger Google routines. Now you can write 2 Google routines for each Tuya/SmartLife device to keep SmartThings in sync with Tuya/SmartLife: If the Tuya switch turns on then turn on the virtual ST switch. If the Tuya switch turns off then turn off the virtual ST switch. [Screenshot_20221…
