OH5.0 TUYA Binding Scene Control

Setup, Configuration and Use Runtime

Hi All
I am trying out a TUYA light (LiteMate lm057) which is Tuya based and controlled with the Tuya Smart App.
I am thinking of using this to replace a set of failed Hue lights which are difficult to find in South Africa at a reasonable cost.
I have managed to integrate the light with the Tuya Binding (which it seams is now integrated with OH, so no longer required to use the SmartHome version?

What I am having trouble with though is using Scenes from the APP.

I have setup multiple scenes in the APP and when I look at the “Scene Data” channel ITEM, I can see the scene:

However I do not see a way to change the scene.

With the Hue setup you can click on the State and you get a list of available scenes.

The Scene names are also populated - so not just a string of numbers.

Can anyone offer some advise?

Thanks

Correct. The Tuya binding is included in OH so as you correctly surmised, you no longer get it from Smarthome/J.

I can’t help with your question about scenes. I poked around the Tuya cloud site and saw that scenes and some other channels consist of JSON strings that didn’t seem to be reflected in what a string Item linked to the scene channel in OH contains.

Just to be clear, you are using the Tuya Smart app and not the Smart Life app from Tuya? I ask because I currently have the Smart Life app working well with OH, but I also would like to set up the Redwoods app that controls my exterior lighting.

That is correct.
