@Edwin_D The integration is from Tuya, It is their official integration. What are you trying to accomplish here? Get my to toss my HA efforts and just use the completely functioning Tuya app?
Maybe the looping/testing is a fine way to work around problems, but I own 17+ covers that do not need looping and testing, regardless of wether they respond instantaneously. I ask a blind to do something, it gets done. The state is always known in HA. I do not need scripts to babysit the behavior. So it suggests the blinds may not be working as perfectly as you make them out to be, even if operated solo?
I repeat, they work perfectly in the tuya app.
If the state is unreliable then what value does it have?
I fully agree, but no amount of looping is going to fix lack of trustworthy information. You were looking at Home Assistant for the cause, while it most likely is not HA, but the integration or something the integration relies on. Maybe try putting a bluetooth proxy near the covers if you use a Bluetooth integration to communicate with them? Integrated Bluetooth for RPI is not very reliable for instance.
@Edwin_D Basic logic. Remove HA from the equation, no problem. Put HA (including integration) in, problem exists. Problem is with HA.
If you run HA plus integration completely from the same phone, from the same physical location as the Tuya app, yes. You’ve decided on who to blame, so I’m out of this discussion.
@Sir_Goodenough thank you. Unfortunately I could not get this to work reliably. There seems to be some type of conflict updating The position and the reporting of the position. It seems to work if I don’t do parallel mode. We’ll see after a week or so if it ever fails to open or close one of the shutters.
This is where you’re hanging up.
HA itself is very VERY modular. It responds ONLY to what the Tuya integration in this case sends. Tuya has (notoriously) been awful to connect with (see hundreds of forum posts, have a search.)
Ive personally used the built-in, and more than one of the community built local integrations. Honestly they are all equally craptacular - because you’re missing one very important point.
If you stay in the Tuya app you’re in a walled gardn. They know everything going on.
If you access the devices through the Tuya integration you’re either…
Getting an interpretation of what Tuya says is true (which has been less than stellar in my personal experience)
using one of the local Tuya integrations... Iiiiif you manged to get a local key setup apibaccess and your device is supported and... still only marginally better with comms. I've given up on reliable reporting or even control over most of my Tuya gear in the last few months... Even my monitor lamps which are pretty basiyare messing up regularly.The tuya local integration does not support Bluetooth
So what I’m hearing you saying HA is amazing and integrations suck. So where does that leave me? Write my own integrations? Maybe when I retire.
Nope what you’re hearing me say is ha works fine and that particular integration blows. Because of its particular network path back to the mothership.
I have plenty of blinds I can fire and forget off other integrations.
I have two Tuya desk lamps that give me more problems than the entirety of the fest of my setup… I attribute that to Tuya.
Note Tuya has absolutely zero incentive to make comms to a third party system responsive. Hell they barely support connectivity.
Every shutter motor, which there happens to be only two on the market, uses Tuya.
Tuya is used by many devices. I think. If home assistant wants to get broader acceptance, it should consider making its own integration for Tuya devices.
From https://thebambooworks.com
“As the world’s largest operator of a platform for services related to the internet of things (IoT), Tuya boasts a market share of 16%”
I out. You have used your own data to show that the integration is the fault poubtybut don’t care for the answer.
I am not talk about the quality of the devices or no. It is immaterial how well they work INSIDE tuyas walled garden.
Fact if you do not use local Tuya you MUST use thier cloud. THAT CONNECTION - 3RD party access to Tuya cloud is THE PRROBEM.
Not you not your device not your HA install. That one singular connection that Tyua themselves don’t really want (they want you using thier cloud exclusively)
Im sorry your blind stats are not reporting correctly that’s why. I’m sure they work GREAT… In tuyss system.
Do jot blame ha for tuyas stupid connectivity that is known bad. Try local and if you cant yep you’re staying in thier cloud
For the record look up Somfy. I have a house full of Somfy ZWave.
Have a great weekend!

@NathanCu Tyua local does not support bluetooth.

@NathanCu Somfy does not make a shutter motor.
Shutter as in plantation blinds
Tuya products might be the best for shutter controls, but only because no other products exist and that does still not make them good enough.
Tuya have their own ecosystem and they are not interested in other ecosystems.
They often do not even seem to care for their own thatuch, because post-sale support seems non-existing.
I quickly gave up on Tuya and found other solutions based on open standards and none of rhem have any issues.
