Can Tuya Zigbee Smart Bulbs be oparated by other third party Bridges?

Configuration Zigbee

I have an Electrolama coordinator zig-a-zig-ah! (zzh!) which works fine but there is no case that it recognizes Tuya Zigbee bulbs. Any idea how to solve the problem? Thank you

Zigbee2MQTT supports some Tuya bulbs, and works with your zzh!

Two things:

  1. Zigbee is a mesh network and the bulbs need to be in range of the mesh - if they don’t pair at all then they’re likely outside the range of the mesh
  2. If they pair but aren’t recognised then you’ll have to add support yourself (or buy something that works already)
