Tuya - Smart Life,Smart Living

The devices are always off-line. It doesn't matter if I'm home or away, it doesn't stay connected for long and the only way I've found to be able to connect again is is to physically touch a button in the device. I bought these to use while I'm out of town, so what's the point if my devices are never online? That said, when they were connected, thankfully I created meal plans and even when my devices will not connect or they say they're offline, it still feeds the pets at the predetermined time

Every time this app updates, functionality plummets. On Google Home, everything shows as offline. The Tuya app can't tell if something is off or on, so you have to hit power until it figures it out. I have one light that fully disconnects every other day. I have to manually turn it off and back on to reconnect. Of course this means none of the group settings or timers work. Removing all bulbs in my house from the app and reconnecting them in hopes it works multiple times a year isn't convenient.

I have to rate this low enough that someone might see this. The app is great when it works. It connects with Alexa to give me voice command of plugs and lights. But for some obnoxious reason devices disappear. I'm not talking disconnects, I mean REMOVED from the list. Then it becomes a nightmare of resetting and trying to reconnect the device. I have a special 2.4ghz WiFi just for my smart devices and it still can never find things in pairing mode. My bedroom fan has to reconnect once a month!
