How to register a generic Zigbee switch (Tuya WHD02) in deConz?

I bought one of these tiny switches:

Problem: when I enter the deconz “add new switch > others” detection mode, and then long press the device to start blinking, nothing happens in deconz.

Any idea why it might not be found? How can I “debug” the process?

Have you checked the other DeConz categories? Sometimes you‘ll find paired devices under lights although it’s a switch…

I have wasted way too much time with DeConz‘ „specialities“ and since I‘ve ditched it for Zigbee2MQTT (ZHA will also be better) I have not seen any pairing issues no matter what kind of device or vendor…

Genius! It has been silently added as light. :thinking:

As I said: DeConz has been a pain for me from the beginning. Since switching to a C2652P stick with Z2M it’s been completely hassle-free…
But good you found your switch under lights :+1:t3:

Does the Power meter work for you when the switch is added as a light?
Im about to buy these too…

Depends what zigbee integration you intend to use it with.

Confusingly, searching for this device in Z2MQTT shows 2 different devices. One (Aubess) supports power metering, while for the generic Tuya one power metering seems to not be officially supported

Like OP im using DECONZ.
I was hoping he could tell me if it works or not, since its not listet as supportet for Deconz.
