## Device support

-Note that devices sometimes get firmware upgrades, or incompatible versions are sold under the same model name, so it is possible that the device will not work despite being listed.

-Battery powered devices such as door and window sensors, smoke alarms etc which do not use a hub will be impossible to support locally, due to the power management that they need to do to get acceptable battery

|
+Hubs are currently supported, but with limitations. Each connection
|
|
|
+to a sub device uses a separate network connection, but like other
|
|
|
+Tuya devices, hubs are usually limited in the number of connections
|
|
|
+they can handle, with typical limits being 1 or 3, depending on the specific
|
|
|
+Tuya module they are using. This severely limits the number of sub devices
|
|
|
+that can be connected through this integration.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Tuya Zigbee devices are usually standard zigbee devices, so as an
|
|
|
+alternative to this integration with a Tuya hub, you can use a
|
|
|
+supported Zigbee USB stick or Wifi hub with
|
|
|
+[ZHA](https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/zha/#compatible-hardware)
|
|
|
+or [Zigbee2MQTT](https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/guide/adapters/).
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Tuya Bluetooth devices can be supported directly by the
|
|
|
+[tuya_ble](https://github.com/PlusPlus-ua/ha_tuya_ble/) integration.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Tuya IR hubs that expose general IR remotes as sub devices usually
|
|
|
+expose them as one way devices (send only). Due to the way this
|
|
|
+integration does device detection based on the dps returned by the
|
|
|
+device, it is not currently able to detect such devices at all. Some
|
|
|
+specialised IR hubs for air conditioner remote controls do work, as
|
|
|
+they try to emulate a fully smart air conditioner using internal memory
|
|
|
+of what settings are currently set, and internal temperature and humidity
|
|
|
+sensors.
