SmartLife Integration

Devices & Integrations Connected Things

Hello everyone,

I noticed there is a SmartLife integration added to SmartThings. So far it doesn’t seem to work, I keep getting server errors. I read that it’s new and being worked on? However, the main reason I’m addressing this is because I noticed not all available devices in SmartLife are in the SmartThings app. For example, I have a motion detector connected to SmartLife, but I do not see SmartLife under motion detectors in the SmartThings app. Is this something that will be added in the future? Because I’d love to use that.

Thanks,
Niels

I have smart life switches and tried to connect them but ran into problems (error after logging into tuya account).
After contacting ST support I’ve been told US region is not supported by Smart Life yet and advised to contact Smart Life support which i did.

Got to the link jkp provided and start around post 70 on how to make the Smartlife integration work in the US.

I am not trying to appear ungrateful, but this answer does not help. Would it be at all possible to post the link you are referring to?

SmartThings has made many changes since 2020, that the post is out of date.

Try the following link.

I have 2 devices added, and named them. Annoyingly, I get 4 additional devices added - 2 x device 10 and 2 x device 46 which appear under no rooms and I have to keep removing them.

Yes, Tuya devices usually show up in No Room Assigned, after you run the integration.

If a Tuya device has a true SmartThings integration there is NO need to create Tap-to-Run Automations in the Tuya app. Many newer Tuya switch type devices have do have SmartThings integrations, so keep that in mind.

I have created a Room in SmartThings called Tuya and that is where I stick all the extra devices at am not using. Unless you are pushing the 300 device limit it doesn’t cause any issues.

If you want to use Tuya devices you need to be willing to live with lots of quirks.
