Tuya devices in smartthings all of them how?

I have a quit a few Tuya WiFi and Zigbee devices that are mostly integrated with ST. At one point my second location was exclusively Tuya, but is currently mostly through the ST app.

Lets start with few questions?

  1. Are you talking about Tuya WiFi or Zigbee devices?

  2. Do you have a Tuya Zigbee hub?

  3. Do you have a SmartThings or Aeotec hub? If yes what model do you have?

  4. I am assuming you are using Tuya Tap to Run automations (scenes) to integrate with ST. While they are only one way integrations I have found them to be very reliable for plugs, switches, bulbs, etc. This method is no good for sensors (contact, motion, water, etc. The problem I see is if a physical switch is operated or the Tuya app is used the ST app gets out of sync.

The following is a dated link of how I do this integration:
