Tuya Zigbee Light – State Not Updating & Cannot Turn OFF from HA (Cloud Integration)

Hi everyone :wave:, I’m currently running Home Assistant OS with the official Tuya Cloud integration, and I’m facing a serious issue with my Tuya Zigbee light (connected via a Tuya Zigbee Gateway).

:gear: Setup Details:

  • Home Assistant OS (Core version: 2025.10.1)
  • Tuya Integration: Official Cloud
  • Device: Tuya Zigbee Light
  • Gateway: Tuya Zigbee Gateway
  • Internet connection: Stable
  • Tuya Smart app: Working perfectly

:warning: Problem Description:

I can successfully control the light ON from Home Assistant, but I cannot turn it OFF using the HA dashboard toggle. Also, the state is not updating correctly between Tuya Cloud and HA.

Detailed behavior:

  1. Start: Light is OFF, HA shows OFF :white_check_mark:
  2. Toggle ON in HA → light turns ON, but HA still shows OFF :x:
  3. Now, HA thinks light is OFF, so I cannot toggle OFF :x:
  4. In Tuya app → light shows correct state :white_check_mark:
  5. I can turn light OFF in Tuya app :white_check_mark:
  6. Back in HA → still shows OFF, no state update :x:
  7. If I use Developer Tools → Call Service:

service: light.turn_off
target:
entity_id: light.light_1

→ Light turns OFF successfully :white_check_mark:

So commands from HA → Tuya work, but feedback from Tuya → HA is broken.

:test_tube: What I tried:

  • Reloaded Tuya integration :white_check_mark:
  • Re-synced devices :white_check_mark:
  • Checked Tuya Cloud project :white_check_mark:

:brain: Observations:

  • State sync between Tuya Cloud and HA seems delayed or missing.
  • Tuya app always shows correct status.

:question: Questions:

  • Is this a known issue with the Tuya Cloud → Home Assistant state sync?
  • Are any other devices (non-Tuya) affected by this kind of state sync problem?
  • Any fix or workaround to make Home Assistant update the light’s state properly and keep the toggle in sync?

Don’t use Tuya Zigbee hub but a Zigbee dongle using ZHA or Zigbee2mqtt

Although Zigbee is local, using a Tuya Zigbee hub makes a round-trip through china.
