Hi there,
I tried to get my water valves working (at least) as a simple switch, but it fails whatever I code.
They are subs to a WiFi-gateway called NX-6476, branded Royal Gardeneer and distributed by Pearl (pearl.de).

I followed the instructions for non-standard DP and the HB terminal at least accepts the scheme override without errors.
But neither HB, nor HomeKit displays anything.
For Standard DP and without overriding, it at least says "unsupported device" and shows up as accessory without function in HomeKit.
Any ideas someone? Your help is highly appreciated!

Extract from my config file (the long version):

                        "id": "bf...",
                        "category": "sfkzq",

Hey, with the new beta it worked after I changed the category to ggq. As the state of the switch was the opposite of the real state of the valves, so I added "onGet" and "onSet" to exchange true with false.

			{
			"id": "bf...",
			"category": "ggq",
			"schema": [
				{
				"code": "ManualSwitch",
				"newCode": "switch_1",
				"type": "Boolean",
				"onGet": "(value === true) ? false : true;",
				"onSet": "(value === false) ? true : false;"
				}
				]
			},

Next, I will puzzle around with the status set of "BatteryCapacity". Any hints how to code this?

Hi K0rayy,

first, follow the instructions in the readme section of this repo. Then try this: https://github.com/0x5e/homebridge-tuya-platform/blob/develop_1.7.0/ADVANCED_OPTIONS.md#advanced-options

If you use the same valves as I do, you can use the code above for at least make HomeKit display it as valve with one switch. I had to switch the values for on/off, as this specific brand understands on as closed and vice versa.

Dear MacForAll,

Thank you very much for your reply,

I followed the instruction;

I made all of the necessary customizing on iot.tuya.com, link device, give authorizations, and change device DP mode.

I found the json file on my computer.

But from this point on I'am stuck. How should I add the overriding code and from where. Should I change the code that saved on my Mac, then should I upload it to somewhere?

Do you use PC or Mac?
Anyway, I assume you installed Homebridge and access it via http://homebridge.local:8581 or similar.
After successful login, you can easily edit the config files, either within the bespoke plugin or directly in the configuration file which you can access from the menu.
With this, there is no fiddling around with the files on your computer.
Good luck!
