Tuya - Smart Life,Smart Living

The devices are always off-line. It doesn't matter if I'm home or away, it doesn't stay connected for long and the only way I've found to be able to connect again is is to physically touch a button in the device. I bought these to use while I'm out of town, so what's the point if my devices are never online? That said, when they were connected, thankfully I created meal plans and even when my devices will not connect or they say they're offline, it still feeds the pets at the predetermined time

Every time this app updates, functionality plummets. On Google Home, everything shows as offline. The Tuya app can't tell if something is off or on, so you have to hit power until it figures it out. I have one light that fully disconnects every other day. I have to manually turn it off and back on to reconnect. Of course this means none of the group settings or timers work. Removing all bulbs in my house from the app and reconnecting them in hopes it works multiple times a year isn't convenient.

When it's working, limited control based on the lightbulbs used. Very few choices to make for any programming or color-changing. Often fails to work, making my home stuck in some mode or another. Often advertises features I don't want instead of just doing what I need it to. I don't need it to trackcmy energy usage or be a smart device, I just want to turn my living room and bedroom lights on and to the same programmed routine at night. Pay more to use something better.
