Well, I’m sorry to ask the question. I’m asking if anyone know or maybe have the same problem as myself. If no one then its OK… I’m not forcing anyone to help. And again the bell will be part of my home automations, just wont be part of Home Assistant if it not available. Again sorry for being stupid posting a request here…
No need to apologise, but it would be easier to help you if you:
- Gave us a part number, or link to where you got the bell
- Posted your tuya config
- Posted your logs of what is going on (or not) with tuya
You see we are not mind readers. As I said in another post recently, my crystal ball is worn out from trying to guess stuff like this.
I suspect with a bit more info, help might be more forthcoming.
This is basically bell product that I purchase. It work great so far however under Home Assistant tuya: its not being capture or detected. I hope this will give some idea.
Did you find a way to integrate your doorbell to home assistant?
If it’s a tuya device, would flashing it to esphome be possible (if it is an esp based device)? Then it would definitely be possible to use with home assistant!
I recently saw these on AliExpress and wondered if anyone else had tried them already…?
It has a hi3518e processor. If that information helps

I have a similar but the notifications/events of the dorrbell are crap. Can’t export the events to any system (HA, IFTTT, Alexa, etc…)
Tuya app is detecting the “ring” but imposible to trigger anything based on that.
Hi
This product work great with Home assistant?
I want buy one. And need only the live camera option
Read the thread - no it doesn’t work with home assistant.
The device sends a RF signal, which can be grabbed by a (tasmota based) sonoff RF bridge, which can be connected to home assistant. so you can get a notification that someone pressed the button…

I have this DoorBell that is compatible with Tuya:
It is true that you can add it into the Tuya App but as I said, the notifications within Tuya are not working. The phone is not ringing. The “rings” are not recorded in the App history, etc.
So it is not really useful… You can link tuya with IFTTT but it doesn’t see the dorbell as a device.
The only workarround that I found was using Tasker to “catch” the android notification and ring the phone.
I found a workaround. It’s not great, but it works.
In the Smart Life app you can trigger automations when someone rings the door.
If you add a switch to Smart Life, it cannot be used for anything real, it acts as a bridge to trigger Home Assistant.
In Smart Life make an automation triggered by the doorbell to turn on the switch, wait 2 seconds and turn it off again.
In Home Assistant you can then make automations based on the switch turning on.

I ditch tuya doorbell and replace it with a very cheap dumb doorbell. Making the easiest smart doorbell with Sonoff mini
Hello,
Am New here. Would you be so kind and agree exactly how you did that automation in the tuya app and how you call it in HA?
Thank you for your response.
Hi!
This is how I did it:
In HA you need to have the switch and make an automation when the state of the switch goes from off to on.
Thank you for your response. But I don’t see the doorbell in the condition !!
I do work with the Tuya Smart app?
I am now testing this with a lamp because I do not see the doorbell in condition. But have a huge delay !!
I use the Smart Life app.
I do not understand, I now also use the smart life app but still do not see the doorbell in conditions !! Maybe I have to change a setting somewhere? 
Thank you for the idea! I documented it here. Posting here too because this topic comes up in top position in Google.
Hello guys,
I just found this other solution on github: https://github.com/tuya/tuya-home-assistant/issues/673#issuecomment-1238447208
1-Connect to your account Tuya IOT Platform with your PC, create a virtual switch for light in Tuya IOT (i take the neutral + line zigbee) in “Cloud > Devices > All Devices > button Add Devices”
2-you will have a QR code then go tu your Tuya App on phone, in my home" right corner up click “+” then again right corner up QR code symbol, flash the QR code with your phone on the PC screen, the switch is now link to the App and you have a virtual switch in HA.
3-Still in the App phone, create an automation : when doorbell button is press…then…virtual switch put on…wait 2 seconds…then put virtual switch off…DONE!
I added this virtual light switch > China Standard Smart Wi-Fi Dimming Switch Factory
Hope this can help while tuya didn’t expose the button event from door bell.
