Post HA restart, automations don't activate all integration devices

Configuration
1

Noticed today after restarting HA that some of my automations, which call devices in different integrations, weren’t all turning on. The one I noticed is the Tuya integration, but there may be others. if I went to the actual device in HA and manually toggled it on then off, then ran the action in the automation it turned on.
So I wanted to ask if there is a certain method to ensuring specific device integrations actually loaded/linked without having to do this each time HA is restarted (hopefully not often). I’m trying to migrate away from Tuya stuff but there are stil a few lingering items I haven’t replaced yet.

Thanks

So it sounds like your Tuya devices are not loading after a restart and the missing devices cause your automations to be disabled. There are a few things you can do (other than not buying Tuya wifi devices):

  1. Avoid using device automations. See: Why and how to avoid device_ids in automations and scripts

  2. Are you using Tuya Cloud? If so have a look at using the third party Local Tuya or Tuya Local integration instead.

  3. Last resort: use an automation that is triggered a short while after a restart to reload the devices and entities.

I suspect just option (1) should solve your issue.

Thanks for the reply.
I had started with a bunch of devices that used the smart life app… When I started using HA, all the devices were integrated under Tuya. Oddly enough a few months ago I noticed the smartthings integration all of a sudden had mirrored all the tuya devices minus 2-3, and I could control those devices under the ST device listing just fine. So I don’t know why these 2-3 devices wont be picked up by ST or I’d remove the tuya integration.
I’ll probably do option 3 for the time being while looking into the first option you mentioned. Looked like that would take bit of time to change all my automations over.
