Hi,
After being severly disappointed by both Tuya and LocalTuya - decided to invest to reconfigure all of my devices using tuya local.
generally works well, but I have problems with my zigbee devices. Have one zigbee 3.0 gateway with roughly 20 devices connected to it, and I am having trouble adding the all of them to my HA. managed to configure about 5 zigbee devices (as sub devices), but now whenever I try adding another device it simply rejects the attempt. I have for example two identical 2CH switches, managed to easily add one of them, which tells me it’s supported, but when I try to add the second one I’m getting an error.
How can I bypass this? seems like a scaling issue to me ?!?!

I’ve only done very minor messing around with Tuya sub devices, and all using the TinyTuya project (highly recommended, link below). All that said, from my experience, you might be better served by getting a 20 dollar Zigbee dongle (I recommend the TI CC2652P based models over the Silicon Lab models, stay far away from the whole SkyConnect stuff) and adding your Tuya Zigbee devices via a Zigbee integration (I highly recommend Zigbee2MQTT over ZHA).
First check the compatibility with your Zigbee devices at two web sites listed, links below.
If you go this route, pace your move from the one Zigbee network to the other, I would not do all devices at once. KISS, pace yourself and do lot of research here on this forum and Zigbee2MQTT forum at Github.
Good hunting and much success in 2024 with your home automation adventures!
