Moving from Tuya Cloud to Local Tuya - missing values

Configuration
1

I have Local Tuya up as per instructions. I’m moving devices across. I have a few problems.

Background: I had my iot on guest network. I use Deco M5 & pihole. Tplink don’t support allowing guest network to access the set dns server, so the whole guest network ended up with no dns. It was useless.

I moved all my devices onto my main network. Ie remove and add again. THis moved them all out of my HA rooms, and into a ‘switch’ or ‘light’ group.

HA runs on VM on Synology DS920+

I have a brand of power monitoring plugs. After re-adding suddenly they have 3 things;

Sometimes they’re linked, sometimes not

Maybe these are the ghosts of the old devices? If so how can I delete them or flush cache or clean it up?

I can’t find the sensors in Local Tuya for plugs.
This is the cloud ver:

Now trying to add in local:

Voltage seems ok, there’s no matching values for the rest

It’s added as a switch, changed to an outlet and still no sensors:

I can’t add any zigbee devices. I got the gateway, but it has no functions. Do I just leave zigbee devices on cloud until I buy a zigbee antenna for my nas?

I can’t get my Curtains working.
I saw this Tuya Curtain
But mine just don’t work.

ID must be 2. Won’t work with 5.
Tried a lot of other options, can only get 2 out of 3 buttons enabled.
Pretty sure it’s position mode, as you can set stops in the device. But tried timed mode too.
Open_Close_Stop surelye is ‘Open_Close_Stop’? What are the others? I’ve tried but they don’t seem to work.
But there are 3 fields of which I only have 2 values (2&5) so it can’t be right at all?

I guess I can’t really add all to local. How do you use it? What do you keep on cloud?

I have moved a few “complicated” switches from Tuya Cloud to Tuya local. For example, I have a ceiling fan / light switch that offer dimming capabilities for both. Tuya Cloud did not recognize the switch as having that many features, yet Tuya Local was able to setup just fine. It did take about an hour of trial and error button positions before I found the correct combination.

I guess my curtains is the most complex thing. My zigbee sensors feel slow to automate lights, so I wanted to get things local.
I see cameras can’t go local.
I’d have to split power plugs control & sensors between them.

I have light dimmer modules. If I add them to local it only shows 1 of 2 lights inside. It also only switches, can’t see any fields that match dim %.
I guess that’s also not supported?

What kind of cameras?

I have many types but I use Wyze cameras mostly. In the past you had to flash custom RTSP firmware to be able to play with the feeds. However, there is a few different iterations of an unofficial Wyze API that I play with and it does video feeds. I’m not familiar with Tuya supported cameras.

With Tuya (about 20 devices) I have

  • AC Unit (portable for play room)
  • Plugs
  • Lights
  • Dimmers

Well it’s random nobrand tuya cam from aliexpress. All my tuya are unbranded. The light modules are “moes” https://www.moeshouse.com/ MOES WiFi Smart Light Dimmer Module / Switch Module Smart Life Tuya Remote Control Work with Alexa Google Home 1/2 Way 1/2 Gang|Dimmers| - AliExpress

Plugs are Beelite Beelite Smart Plug Au 16a Wifi Socket New Zealand Power Energy Monitor Plug Timer Tuya Smart Home Alexa Google Assistant - Electrical Socket & Plugs Adaptors - AliExpress

Also got some Xiaomi cams that I don’t think are supported by HA at all 2021 Xiaomi Mijia Smart Camera 2k 1296P WiFi Night Vision Two Way Audio AI Human Detection Webcam Video Cam Baby Security Monito| | - AliExpress

So far I can add plug/light but only supporting on/off not the rest of it. So in theory maybe I can put plug on local, and it saves 1/4 of a step in an automation. Meanwhile using cloud for the power monitoring. I’m not sure if it’s worth the effort. The slowest automation is motion(zigbee) to light on.
