I can’t say if the brilliant fans are tuya or not…
What I can say is it’s possible for seemingly tuya apps to not be found by tuya. I have a ultenic-t10 vacuum that seemingly runs on tuya backed but doesn’t join my iot.tuya account nor the tuya app.
Thanks for alerting me to other post, the Brilliant Smart and Tuya apps look so similar I’m guessing my smart wall controllers are Tuya. I only have two brands to add to HA and I was done. This roadblock has broken the dream of having everything controlled by HA
Thanks for alerting me to this thread. I might get one of the Brilliant Fan controllers and see if its accessible or has a Tuya Local option. Worse comes to worse I’ll just train the kids to push the buttons!
I use the Arlec brand models from Bunnings, and they work through the Tuya app and local Tuya. You might just try adding the Brilliant controller to the Tuya app, that type of things has worked for me before.
Thanks Michael. I revisited the Tuya Smart and Smart Life apps and found that I had to allow Bluetooth for the apps then they discovered my wall controllers. I was then able to complete the Tuya integration and can now control my ceiling fans in HA, less speed control. No idea why speed control is not exposed to HA.
Just saw this post, Jimmy James has a YT video where he designed a new plug-in module for the Ventair DC fans with an ESP and he provides all the ESPHome configs if that helps.
Only problem I have found with these Deta wall fan controllers is that some fans in my house have capacitor issues.
My bedroom one for instance, only works for low and medium, When switching to high, it stays at medium speed, even though you can hear (and see) the ‘high’ relay switch on.
The issue I see is I have Brilliant Smart wall controllers https://www.brilliantlighting.com.au/product/smart-wifi-ac-fan-wall-controller-e07a97 and HA shows no speeds available? I do see two preset modes Sleep & Nature but why wouldn’t the HA show speeds for a ceiling fan? The Smart Life app shows the speeds so I run my ceiling fans outside of HA which is annoying.
(Another very late post I’m sorry)… I took a bit of a risk and put 5 of the recently released Clipsal Wiser Zigbee fan controllers in to drive my existing fans, and they work great with HA via a SkyConnect dongle.
Has anyone purchased this guy’s Skyfan wifi modules? I sent him a couple of emails with questions but haven’t seen a response. Doesn’t inspire confidence…
