I am experiencing an issue with the Tuya integration in Home Assistant and would appreciate any guidance or suggestions.
I have a Tuya energy meter with two current clamps (amperometric probes) for measuring electrical consumption, but when I integrate it with Home Assistant, I’ve noticed that the two current clamps are not displayed separately. Instead, the device appears to be grouped under a single name, or it doesn’t show the readings correctly for each clamp.
Here’s what I’ve checked:
The energy meter with the current clamps works fine in the Tuya / Smart Life app.
There are no issues with the credentials or authentication of the Tuya integration in Home Assistant.
I’ve tried restarting the integration and reconnecting the device, but the issue persists.
Has anyone encountered this issue with energy meters that have multiple current clamps? Any advice on how to get both probes (current clamps) to show up separately and display their readings correctly in Home Assistant?
Here is the link to the device I bought: Device Link
There is not much adjusting of Tuya in the Core app. You might have to load a custom Tuya Integration to get more functionality.
The Tuya Engineers don’t keep the HA core Integration up to date very well.
Thanks for your reply and for the helpful insight!
I understand that the core Tuya integration has limited functionality, and I’ve been trying to use the Local Tuya integration to get more control. While the core integration works fine for basic functionality, I’m still facing an issue where the two current clamps (from my Tuya energy meter) are grouped under a single device, and I can’t get the readings to display separately. I was hoping that the Local Tuya integration would help with this, but unfortunately, I’m still encountering this limitation, along with some issues related to local key permissions.
It seems like the core Tuya integration doesn’t offer much flexibility for advanced use cases like this, so I might need to explore other devices with better integration with Home Assistant.
Could you recommend any specific devices or brands that have better integration (either through local control or reliable cloud support) and can handle multiple current clamps separately? I’ve seen some mentions of Shelly and IAmMeter, and I’d love to hear more about any alternatives that others have successfully used.
