I’ve got a number of switches and just bought 2 lights by tuya. Everything works but fine on HA except for one light that is recognized as a switch. It looks and works identically to the other light in the smart life (tuya) app.
So i want to know if the problem is with the api call to their server on discovery of if HA is messing up in parsing the response. I’ve done my best to look at the raw comms but i don’t think it’s the raw comms as it has a homeassistant field added to it (ha_type).

Replying here for completeness. After some long conversations with Tuya, they said it was the bulb manufacturer’s problem (Teckin). I contacted them and they eventually said it was a firmware bug in their light. They pushed out an update and that fixed it.

Looks like the_reza has figured out what the problem is and has gotten Teckin to push out a firmware update to fix some of his bulbs. I’m going to contact Merkury and see if I can get them to do the same.
