#Copying from #zigbee because they

Ah... Tuya. They're well known for re-using device identifiers for completely different devices.

How do they appear in SmartThings? Do they show up as the button, or as a smart plug?

It says that it's registered as a zigbee switch, but then if I try to do a routine in smart things, it seems to act more like a rocker switch instead of a multi-sensing button. This is supposed to be able to handle single tap, double tap and long press, but when you look at the routines option in Samsung it's stuck on an on/off binary

Switches are on/off things, buttons aren't usually switches

#

Your problem is that you're using SmartThings

ugh

#

more hardware to buy ...

sterile estuary
#

Well, buy a (good) Zigbee coordinator and move everything over

i know ... i've just been trying to work on this project on the cheap

sterile estuary
#

Yeah.... and buying Tuya is certainly cheap... at first

#

Then you have to buy stuff to replace the crap Tuya, and it's not so cheap any more

that may indeed happen in the future, but the way I'm doing this right now is getting the framework in cheap, then i can piecemeal upgrade to beetter stuff as I have money

#

that said, if this is a tuya problem, i should be able to get like a sonoff version and probably not have issues?

sterile estuary
#

Well.... Sonoff is less bad than Tuya ... just

#

Depends on whether SmartThings support remotes

would be really dumb if they didn't

sterile estuary

Wouldn't surprise me

So, I've been able to confirm the problem is the SmartThings hub. I'm setting up a system for my sister with a SkyConnect, and holy heck, the options from the smart plugs is amazing compared to what Samsung is giving me, and I had another push button that was going to go on that network and it's registering the pushes I need

#

the button press types aren't triggering right, but I can translate them as I'm testing the automations

Whelp, just found out another SmartThings issue. Tuya plugs and buttons and temp sensors are working beautifully at my sisters, but I'm also realizing now that it's reporting a realistic wattage (as the ST Hub is telling HA) for my air conditioner, but the kWh reading for the energy grid panel is literally off by two orders of magnitude (again, reported by ST)
