I just bought some Tuya Zigbee devices from Aliexpress because I assumed Zigbee would just work. I paired them to Home Assistant, but they don’t show what I would expect.
The first was this button that I was hoping to setup to trigger different scenes. I purchased two of them and they actually show up in Home Assistant differently.
Clicking “Manage Zigbee Device”, the signature looks like this:

I also bought the “4 Gang ZigBee Remote” version of this remote and it doesn’t show any of the buttons either…

Sorry, that was a bit of an information dump. But, I am not sure if there is anything I can do from here. I use ZHA with a skyconnect if that makes any difference. Can I manually configure Zigbee devices in Home Assistant?
