Here my experience: Plugged the “Lidl” gateway, installed Tuya Smart, choosed Gateway and it was done. Added a plug and a bulb in Tuya Smart using the “+Add” without any problem.
Added the Tuya Integration in Home Assistant and added the following to configuration.yaml:
tuya:
username: YOUR_TUYA_USERNAME
password: YOUR_TUYA_PASSWORD
country_code: YOUR_ACCOUNT_COUNTRYCODE
platform: tuya
I am now working on getting the devices I see in the app in Home Assistant. Any advice?
Hi
Could you please explain, how you can extend the standard popup menu for a light? So, that you have the effects on top and the default on/off with color picker below.
Thanks
I had the same issue not seeing all the devices I set up in my tuya account. In the meantime, I added some automation entries and was surprised to see them appear in HA. Now I know my account is working but something else doesn’t work right. I removed one of the devices and added it back then called tuya.force_update and tuya.pull_devices services without success. How is your progress?
There was some post about creating a scene in tuya app with the desired device action and the scene will appear in hass

I have noticed that my lidl bulbs and led strip shows as it is on even if it is actually off quite often. Anyone else have seen that? I am using deconz with HA
Maybe I missed something - but the ‘Lidl’ devices are working with CC2531 USB stick?
Prepare CC2531 for ZigBee…
I paired the coloured bulb with no problems using zha.
I find the Lidl bulbs can take over 3 minutes to show online (CC2531 running ZBM2MQTT) if someone switches off their power switch which is way too long compared to the Ikea bulbs that I have which take seconds.
I returned 1 Lidle RGBW bulb as it was buzzing when set to white and the other is back in its box as a spare.
They maybe cheap but the white Ikea bulbs are only a few £’s more and are much better IMO.
Anyone was able to run the colorloop effect on the Lidl LED light strip with deconz ?
so far it pair with Deconz very fast and I was able to change color with both deconz/home assisant, but colorloop effect is not working.
I binded as switch to activate the colorloop from Deconz, but it doesn’t affect anything on the light itself, I am only getting binary_sensor related to the color loop to set or unset, when triggering the switch
Hi.
I bought the E27 Lightbulb from Lidle and connected it to by CC3531 USB device.
Zigbee2Mqtt found it straight away and imported to Home Assistant no problems.
My only issue and it might not be an issue and maybe the way it is
I am disappointed with brightness of the colours. Red is pink and very dim and its not a bright green like LEDs and again its not bright.
Even tried in Node Red and 255,0,0 is not recognised but white 255,255,255 does.
If I turn the brightness up. It just seems to turn to a warm white. Cool White is fine.
Is there a special setting for red and a way to brighten the colours ?
I have not used the Lidl app at all
Thanks
Martyn
After looking through all these posts. I got it working and Im now thinking its not too bad but will look at ikea bulbs next time to see how they are.
The node red config fixed the colours for me though
{
"brightness": "255",
"rgb_color": [
255,
2,
0
]
}
Thanks again
Martyn
megatrooooon i’m interested in this also
I’ve used Smart life application for manage zigbee net with Lidl Silvercrest Gateway.
With Tuya integration works every my devices in Home Assistant.
Can smart USB Extension lead show how much power devices that is connected to uses?
No not the UK one I have
Hi all,
First of all happy new year 
Yesterday my Lidl Gateway, some lights, motion sensors and door sensors arrived in the Netherlands. Everything is working fine in the Lidl app and also the Tuya app. unfortunately I’m also have problems to get the devices in Home Assistant. I prefer to have the gateway supported #voted, but if this is not possible or will take some (long) time I need to determine next steps. 
.
If someone have some other options or things i can try let me know 
Regards Niels
He Niels,
I bought a Sonoff zigbee gateway ( 14 euros aliexpress) converted it to tasmota zigbee and all devices (bulbs, door sensor, PIR, remote) are working well,
I can pair the remote but not use it, have to dive deeper to get it working…
Convert, follow the ZHA option:
Here you can see which devices work with converted sonoff gateway.
Regards,
Frank
Hi Frank,
Thanks for your information is very much appreciated.
For 14 euros I will definitely give this a try 
Greetings Niels
