Unable to Add Tuya Compatible WiFi PIR Device in SmartThings

[rickster]

Tuya shows the wifi PIR device functioning, but the PIR device only links to Google Assistant or Alexa. I assume they are the established links for that device and Smarthings link up not possible or is there some kind of work around to get them included in Smarthings? I read some responses but nothing applied for this situation that I could see.

Do you have a SmartThings (ST) hub?

If you do you could create a virtual motion sensor using the vEdge Creator driver.

Then connect Tuya to Alexa and use Alexa routines to change the state of the virtual motion sensor that you created in ST.

Yes it is a ST hub ( sorry about that). I’ll give that a try- it appears to be the only solution.
