Tuya Smart

I've been using Tuya Smart for a good few years now, it's a good system, I have lots of Tuya devices in 2 locations, generally it works well. However, the big problem is.. it's near impossible to get Tuya to send you "system" notifications! As Tuya want you to buy their very expensive subscription service, to receive SMS & Email notifications. ( I certainly can't afford it! ) For me, this has made the "cloud based" Tuya devices uneconomic. I'd look elsewhere if you can!

Would be good to have history for EV chargers so you can look back to check how many kwh have been used and how long did it take at previous sessions etc... Also a few bugs: -Dark mode does not work when on device's screen -you cannot change "TopBar Title" on top of the page -lastly when you delay charging the "Device State" reads "Wait charing" missing the "g" from char"g"ing Whis I could upload a screenshot here to show!

The basic functions won't load as described, no user manuals online, the options are in Chinese even though system says choose language. doesn't detect people unless you press the bell and even then its hit and miss if your phone will activate. sat right by the router and says poor WiFi signal. Sign up to in system ai video still doesn't activate. always puts the device in sleep mode. major update needed to function as advertised.
