QUOTE(alucard89 @ Jun 20 2023, 03:21 PM) Maybe can try set automation in tuya app and set it up as scenes in homekit thru homebridge. Not the best choice but looks like doable https://github.com/milo526/homebridge-tuya-...enes-to-homekitThis one uses network control... but this network quite jialat  this sigmesh... not very reliable. sometimes detect sometimes don't detect. Using this then can control, but its via cloud. If I control from tuya app, then its local.

That's even more expensive than zigbee/wifi version Any idea what's the chip inside? maybe can do chip swap and install homekit firmware. Assuming the cable inside is long enough you can pull the pcb like this » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

QUOTE(epicure @ Jun 20 2023, 02:31 PM) Anyone feels like they’ve done all that they can with their smart home system? I kinda feel that way for now. Nothing much i want to add already. Covered most bases Lighting, fans, vacuum, Tv, aircon, sockets, door locks, gate, cctv cameras, alarm, sensors (motion/contact/temperature/leak).. Waiting for something new (besides upgrading to matter) to add on to my house. Any recommendations? remaining probably mmwave sensors either the expensive one like fp2 with multizone or just cheaper ones by tuya (make sure no fans in the area)

I not doing direct BLE... more like through the BLE hub... I was trying to look for BLE hub with homekit support but so far don't have. Only ada for zigbee.

Only ada for zigbee. Dang... I checked again... "local_key": "", Seems like if BLE even through a hub can't get the local key sigh. (https://www.reddit.com/r/homebridge/comments/pkjwnr/tuya_lights_with_sig_mesh_gateway_have_no_local/) Is it the same for Tuya Zigbee products? Only those with wi-fi able to get local key?

Might need to add zigbee repeaters if too far way from hub For wifi devices, just more mesh wifi around the house
