Hi ,
I’m looking for smart button pusher and switchbot is good but very expensive compare to tuya one .
Does anyone know if there is an integration to ST .
I see that ST has integration to tuya but not sure about the tuya hub (which I will buy ) or/and tuya smart button pusher .
Here is a link to it :
That’s a very interesting device, fairly new, I’m not sure I like the button angle as well as the SwitchBot but the push force (1.6 kg) is good.
The tuya product is being sold under many different brand names, as usual for them, including adaprax and Moes. It looks like they’re all just using the smartlife app for it, though.
It’s a Bluetooth device, so there’s no direct integration to smartthings. You would need to get some version of the tuya Bluetooth hub and then create scenes in the tuya app for it. You can then probably, although not guaranteed until somebody reports that it actually works, activate those scenes through the tuya/smartthings integration.
So there’s a possible integration, but I haven’t seen anybody verify yet that it actually works with this specific device.
Thanks @JDRoberts .
Yeah, my intention is to use the hub and then integrate it .
Hope somebody will bought it already and can share his experience.

Just bought this fingerbot
Intressting product
Sadly even after integrating with smarthings + smartlife i cant see/find it in the smartthing list
When i go into the unit on the smartlife app it says that its only compatable with alexa and google.
So far i have not been able to use it directlt with smartthings and thinking of reterning it.
PS. This is much more intressting than switchbot! you can do much more and the app have many settings.
You should be able to get partial 1way integration following the following:
And if you also do the following you can get a partial 2 way integration:
Thanks
Great will test it as soon as i find the time for it. Sadly i did already make an order for a BT gateway. But i will for sure try the tricks above and if it works return the gateway
FYI:
Part 1 of what I said has been working for over a year and is very reliable.
Part 2 of what I said has only been only been working about a 1 week. Initially it worked very well, but for the last couple days it has been a little flaky.
Hi, I have been searching for the solution for quite a while but I had to ask here.
I have a Tuya BLE fingerbot. It’s a rechargable robot for physical switch. It works great on Tuya Smart or Smart Life App. But what I want to do it is voice control via Galaxy Home Mini.
Because Tuya fingerbot does not support SmartThings, I was hoping if there is anything I can do to make this work. I saw some posts about integration using tap-to-run which didn’t work for me. The Tuya tap-to-run was imported successfully, but it does not run with an error saying the device is offline.
If anyone is still using this method and could guide me through this way I would be grateful.
If anyone could guide me through adding custom device or some sort that is also great. I hope there could be a way given control via Tuya Smart works and the protocol could be somehow reproduced in SmartThings app.
This part is tricky because Tuya doesn’t use standard protocols: it uses a lot of unique “proprietary” code which is not used by other platforms.
More importantly, though,this is a Bluetooth device, and at present the only Bluetooth devices that can be added to a SmartThings account are a few specific Samsung models. Third party Bluetooth devices are not supported.
I’m not sure why your tap to run scenes didn’t work though, they have for other people.
You need to open your tap-and-run automations that got imported into SmartThings using the mobile app. They probably say connected. You need to manually turn them on and off. That should wake them up.
If that doesn’t work try the same thing at my.smartthings.com.
Thanks for the help. Unfortunately what you have suggested did not work.
Though the tap-and-run works fine in Tuya Smart, when I run it on SmartThings, the notification shown in the screenshot pops up. Following the notification shows that it couldn’t run because the device is offline.
Did you use the SmartLife or Tuya integration. If you used SmartLife try switching to the Tuya integration. It used to work better.
Another thought. You can’t turn a tap-and-run on or off. You have to use the toggle (turn on or turn off) function.
I used Tuya. The SmartLife doesn’t even send me the fail notification. At least Tuya tells me that it failed.
Regarding the toggle function, I am using the click function of the switch I am using. So it should be the same as you suggested.
I guess it can’t be helped. I hoped there would be a solution. Thank you for the time and help though!
Based on your screenshot I can see that the failure is on the Tuya end not the ST end.
I have gotten those notices in the past. I get those notices when the the device in off-line in the Tuya app. Are you sure the batteries are good and that the device is in contact with the Tuya app. I believe these are bluetooth devices, so unless you have a Bluetooth Tuya Hub, your phone needs to be in range of the device.
The battery is fully charged.
The phone is near.
I know them for sure because the switch works from Tuya app directly not from SmartThings-TaptoRun-Tuya chain.
