Automating eWeLink lights via Tuya Smart Button

Hi all,

I am new to Home Assistant and have successfully set up a few devices, but I am still new to all of this. I have a fairly simple question, I think, but couldn’t find anything specific or much in the guides and forum to help.

I have a Zigbee 3 smart button, with 3 modes, single click, double click and hold. I have set this up in the Smart Life app on my Android phone and I can see that I can start any scene in the Smart Life app itself, which is not really what I need. I also have 3 eWeLink ceiling lights that I want to turn on and off using the smart button, but have not found any way to do it. The Zigbee gateway I am using is a cheap wireless gateway from AliExpress (Tuya Zigbee 3.0 Gateway Hub).

Does anyone know if I can control the eWeLink lights in the Smart Life app? Otherwise I thought I would try Home Assistant to watch for a scene being activated in an automation and then switching on the eWeLink lights from within the automation. I have an LED strip light that is remote controlled and can activate via a scene in Smart Life, but it seems there is no state change in Home Assistant when the scene activates?

To add a bit more info, the ‘devices’ in Home Assistant for the Tuya (Smart Life) Smart Button and Tuya Zigbee Gateway show as ‘not supported’, in case that is important to note!

Any advice would be hugely appreciated!
