Smart Life Application Integration

[bmsmithvb]

I was curious if anyone had success in integrating devices from the Smart Life App into HomeSeer 3/4?

iPhone App: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/smart-...g/id1115101477
Android App: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...tlife&hl=en_US

i ask because I have recently purchased these lights: https://www.amazon.com/Novostella-27...057096&sr=8-12 and these outside dimmer outlets https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

All of those devices use the Smart Life app and would like to see if there was a way to integrate them into HomeSeer. I am mostly after an outdoor dimmer for some string lights we have. which is what drove me down that road. The flood lights work well, too!

I have done a little more research and found that I can add the devices (lights and outlets) to Tuya and then use the HS4 Tuya plugin!

Thanks for the idea. I just tried it and it worked. Had 4 Smart Life wifi sockets, that I couldn't figure out how to integrate. Downloaded the Tuya Smart app for the phone, and transferred the wifi sockets over to that app. Then used the HomeSeer Tuya plugin, and everything is now integrated. Thanks so much for the idea.

The other popular approach is to change the firmware in the device. It is done in a manner similar to upgrading the firmware often provided by the smart life/Tuya app, but done using Tuya Convert. Tasmota firmware is the dominant firmware that brings everything to LAN rather than cloud control.
