I got a very weird situation. Since you guys report the bulb start working. Then I check the unused entities and I saw my tuya bulb shows there. But after I change the entity ID and set a name for it. Then go to UI and trying to add it, I failed. After that I can not see my bulb shows there any more.
And I got this error in terminal
Is there anyone can help? I run my HA under docker.
Woah, ignore my last update … now a bigger one! I sorta fabricated a story about wanting to buy hundreds of Gosund Bulbs for a project… but since they wont be supporting HA i will be returning my test bulbs and going with another vendor’s products.
And so they replied with this HAHA
So maybe I won’t be converting my other bulbs to Tasmota just yet. Lets see if they come through!
From Tuya on support ticket:
There’s hope!
yes you can control color after converting. At least on my Gosund bulbs it was no problem. I did have to figure out which channels were which PWMs myself but it wasnt so hard, just a few minutes of trial and error.
After that I only went so-far as to confirm there is a nice place in Home Assistant to adjust the color. then I unscrewed my bulb and havent used it yet, was waiting on Tuya to come around but I am getting impatient now so I’m likely to convert my others too. You are just sending numerical color values for each brightness; W R G B so they can be automated via Tasmota/MQTT/HA like anything else.
I did an OTA upgrade so I didnt even need to take the bulb apart.
Here are some guides you can follow
There are newer/updated tutorials out there just give tuya-convert a google
You will need Raspbian Stretch Light and Raspi to follow most of the guides. Its nice because you will need both the ethernet and the Wifi. You will probably want to dedicate a microSD card to it so you can just shutdown your HA, swap the card in, convert, and boot HA back up.
Have you tried setting up a light.group?

Everyone open tickets with tuya to help raise the priority!

Also posting this here:
I found a small work around… You can make scenes that turns a device on and off. These scenes are found in HA and can be used to be intergrated in automations and scripts. The only thing one can´t control is the color of RGBW devices…
Can we get some support for this? Still not working.
