Tuya Downlights, dual mode not working :(

jhauxwell · December 19, 2021, 9:09am

Hi all,

I have recently installed some of these downlights in my kitchen -

The downlight is tuneable white with dimmer and the outer ring is RGB with dimmer.

In the Tuya app the two parts are independently controllable (where ‘Colour’ is the ring, and ‘White’ is the downlight):

however in Home Assistant i can control either the downlight OR the colour ring - i.e. I can set the downlight using the Temperature button

But when i switch to the Colour tab here

The downlight goes OFF and the colour ring lights up and i then have control of just the outer ring.

They seem to be mutually exclusive in Home Assistant and i don’t know where to start trying to resolve it.

I just realised I screen-grabbed downlight 1 in the app and downlight 5 in Home Assistant but they are all the same…

If anyone has any ideas or suggestions i would appreciate it.

Cheers.

Open an issue.
Or the Tuya API doesn’t make clear there are actually 2 lights, or HA didn’t interpret it correctly.

Cheers.

Yes, github.
Basically, copy/paste your post.

@jhauxwell Did you end up opening an issue or finding a solution for this? I am running into the same issue.

Did you (or anybody else) figure out a solution or open any bug reports or feature requests for this?
