Awaiting for more thread products... so I don't need so many different hubs my curtains are on lifesmart... need dedicated hub which is homekit compatible.

I am personally sticking with zigbee for the foreseeable future just because i already have loads of them.

Hi. My Smartul smart plug is showing red light.
I tried reset wifi by pressing 5 seconds it does not blink.
I long press 10 seconds also no effect.
any other way to reset?

epicure
since I don't have homekit hub like apple tv/homepods.

Could I pair tuya homekit gateway directly to HA?
Would this expose all the entities/devices paired to it?

Using zigbee or wifi version? Relay still working?

Mine mostly is Zigbee too, on Aqara hub. But well, I have others like LifeSmart curtains on RF... and the rest are on wifi and some on BLE...

wifi version. How to check relay?

Yes, you can, it will expose all entities to HA

I also configure HA to expose all entities including HomeKit controller entities back to Apple HomeKit

HA can expose all to HomeKit without need of an home hub eg. ATV4K?

Ok nice, so no need to get homepod/apple tv
Just need to get zigbee tuya lock working with HA since there's still no working solution for zha/z2m. Even the bt lock integration is a bit sketchy.

No need home hub such as Apple TV or HomePod mini at all, HA can act as the home hub!

Nice to know, I'm new to HA too. Just installed... first thing I wanna do now is for my alarm integration...

Damn I'm such a noob lol, can't even find the place to addon zzz.

EDIT: Damn.. HASS on docker can't have addons... tsk.

Can, it’s HACS that’s not available on docker
Need to grab the supervised ha install

What OS you using?

So I need to look for supervised HA for docker?

Synology DSM 7.2, this is my 24/7 running system 😅

This im not sure, cos i dont have HA. But i think if Tuya can be paired to HA much like how tuya can be paired to HB (with caveats on IOT account), so by right it should work right? I think lah

HA in Docker can't have addons , gonna skip HA for now then.

I continue troubleshooting and finally gotten Paradox Alarm Interface to login my IP150+ now . Tonight need to figure out how to configure it... then need to tinker around to install MQTT broker on docker, then finally interface to my homebridge... I sure hope this works. With this then I can have my HomeKit auto disarm when I arrive home, and arm when everyone is away .

Paradox --> PAI --> MQQT --> HomeBridge

Correct, i never understand why got several version of ha installation when supervised installation is the definite one since got HACS for more custom components.
Sure no addons on the docker?

Should be added as homekit bridge directly to HA rather than going thru tuya iot. Just ordered zigbee lock (deadbolt type) from alibaba to test it out

basically just check if the plug still works normally to turn on/off.
last time this happened the firmware got some issue, and I just install custom firmware on it.

probably gonna have to claim warranty since plug is compact and a bit difficult to crack open to do any firmware flashing.
