Zigbee allows individual manufacturers to use custom commands, which means even if a device is certified for Zigbee 3.0 it may not work out of the box with smartthings.
Tuya is one of the companies that does use some proprietary clusters for some models. So we just have to hope that someone has figured out what those are and create a custom code to make it work. It’s usually possible, it’s just not an out-of-the-box solution.
Since you put the model number in your topic thread, hopefully someone who has that model and knows how to make it work will respond.
But since it seems from your posts that you purchased a number of Tuya items recently, I just wanted to mention this particular issue. It may be less frustrating if you first search the forum to make sure a Tuya zigbee model does work with smartthings before purchasing it.
Purchasing these devices was a bit of a gamble but I have had luck with other devices. ST has a great community and I posted these topics here in hopes that someone will unlock these devices for ST and thus make the number of devices ST supports even bigger. Not really frustrated about the incompatibility for now but I think these are great products to consider and worth the wait if/until someone cracks the code. And if these products don’t fly well with the crowd then I’ll just take the hit and consider some products that have been verified to work with ST
Yours has the basic Zigbee clusters (like 0000, 0004, and 0005), but not the ones I’d expect to see for a smoke alarm (like 0500 or 0505).
What looks like is happening is that device is using a manufacturer specific cluster - “EF00”, so like what @JDRoberts said, it may be Zigbee 3.0, but it’s still going to need a custom Edge driver (DTH’s going away) for it to work with SmartThings.
I am looking for something to control the garage door and the entrance gate all the time. I saw that Tuya has such solutions, but on Sunday I did not find whether it would be possible to run them in ST without using an additional Tuya gate.
I use it as a gate opener which is basically the same as a garage door opener. I have a separate switch for “open” and a separate switch for “close” in the gate control unit. So I just hooked up both relays to these switches and use them to trigger as necessary. But you could just hook up one of the relays to your garage door opener contacts and it will work.
Hi,
can you write me how to connect this system to the drive? I personally have a Somfy 800 IO and have a bell switch connected to open and close the garage door.
Garage door openers usually have two contacts that when bridged together for a moment, activates the garage door. So basically the switch module is set up in a way that when you trigger it, it only activates the relay for one second. And if you connect the wires from the relay to the garage door and then activate the relay, the garage door contacts get bridged for a second basically creating a momentary button press and the garage door reacts accordingly. To see which contacts on your garage door opener are made for this purpose you’d have to check the manual or see if there are any contacts already labelled when removing some covers etc.
If your garage door opener doesn’t have any contacts for this specific purpose then a little hack would be to solder the relay wires to the bell switch.
please tell me the drivers in the application do you use for these items? I added them to the HUB, a few added as a “placeholder” other Normans but I have a problem with them, they disconnect from time to time and there is a problem with their reconnection.
