Tuya devices are slow to react - no changes to HA

Just to say I have the same problem too, upgraded to 11, rolled back to 10, re-upgraded to 11.
I tried to remove and remake the integration, but then it says that my ip is outside the specified region on Tuya IoT (it is not true, of course) and the only way to get back the integration was to roll back to the backup.
On HA commands pass through, I can turn on, off and change the color of my led strip, but the status almost never updates.
On Tuya IoT I removed and re-authorized “Device Status Notification”, the name seamed to imply something :sweat_smile:
Android APP is NOT working flawlessly, too.
I’m positive it is a problem on their side.
I’m on HA 2021.11.4

Also having this problem, and having just switched everything over to the HA Tuya integration, I was doubting I had done it correctly. I’ve removed / re-added with no success, there’s an 8-10 second delay with updates, trying to run an automation in this 8-10 period on the same device causes nothing to happen. Very frustrating. The Smartlife app works fine every time.

Can confirm. Also have (fresh integration) delay…

It is was so bad. Response can be like 10 seconds.
I have reverted all my devices to LocalTuya. Really had high hopes for official integration, but…

I am also having Tuya issues. Makes everything feel sluggish and/or non-responsive.

I am using HA 2021.11.5 on an RPi4. HA OS 6.6. stable build

I will keep using it for now. The new tuya integration in this state is unusable.

I am still on the old Tuya v2 but the cloud is also crapping out. I have sensors that have not been updated for 6 hours and are currently showing solar-production of 10.9 W. It’s night.

Which part in the world are you located in? Maybe you need to select the correct datacenter? I live in US and I used the datacenter in US when registering Tuya account. Never had any problem with the new Tuya integration. The response time for my smart plug is around 1 second1

I’ve tried various datacenters (based in UK) and none are working correctly for me

UK uses Central Europe.

EU. It was working fine until a week ago, when the updates stopped happening correctly. So they patched something.

Alright. Have you tried controlling the switch/light from the Tuya App via 4G/LTE? There are just too many variables in this problem. You need to locate where the bottleneck is.

Tuya app on 4G/LTE works fine. Also on wifi.
There are a few other places this is mentioned now

I have tried switching wifi networks, different hardware for HA, re-adding devices, re-added integration. Pretty much everything. My Android app also runs dog slow when you go to a devices control panel for certain devices. Pretty sure at this stage that this is an issue with the API at least for Cental Europe Data Centre.

Tuya Local works
Tuya App Cloud works
Tuya IoT Cloud does not work

So the problem is Tuya IoT Cloud and since the integration is based on that it affects HA.

Been experiencing this also.

I am in Australia but will have to check which server I signed up to.

My tuya devices basically cannot be controlled by HA right now.

I received my last 3 replacement devices today and later tonight I’m out. No more Tuya.

what brand of devices?

I was suffering from long delays. Don’t know if it’s coincidental but since disabling ipv6 through Supervisor->System->IP Address the responsiveness is much better. Around 3 seconds as opposed to the 2-10 minutes before.
