Just an FYI, I have a bunch of Tuya outlet plugs and can see and group them in EasyTrigger. IMO, using the Loc1 and Loc2 labels on devices is key in finding them on the drop-down lists. I don't have Tuya bulbs, but as long as an HS device is created there shouldn't be any issues in seeing them in the pick-list. But of course there could be a bug.
Example:
-
I've never been able to get devices to show up correctly in HS4. The plugin doesn't seem to handle Root/Feature correctly, at least for Tuya devices. I have 6x outlets Called "Fiet Plug #1" - "Fiet Plug #6". They all have a feature called "Switch 1" which is used to control the outlet. I get 6x devices listed as "HS Tuya Test Bench Fiet Plug #1" - "HS Tuya Test Bench Fiet Plug #6" which are root devices that can't be controlled. I also get 6x devices listed that are "HS Tuya Test Bench Switch 1" repeated 6 times. It looks like the root device name is missing in the list for features.
In TC1's case, it doesn't look like he's using both LOC2 and LOC1 fields. In my case I call LOC2 "Technology" and LOC1 "Location". For the example above, LOC2="HS Tuya" and LOC1="Test Bench"."if I have seen further [than others], it is by standing on the shoulders of giants." --Sir Isaac Newton (1675)

cowinger Just to be clear, you added "Front Porch Tuya" to the name of the feature that previously was called "Switch"? If so, that's consistent with what I'm seeing in that the root device name is not being used as a part of the feature name in the list.
Once you confirm, I'll open a ticket."if I have seen further [than others], it is by standing on the shoulders of giants." --Sir Isaac Newton (1675)

So what I am seeing (front porch bulb as ex.) is if you call the parent Front Porch and then the child device that shows Switch you add Front Porch (same name as parent) in front of Switch you get in ET: Tuya WIFI Front Porch Switch. See pic in #3 for the first 2 names.
So hear is what I see ET is seeing in order to get those names in it's list.
Location 1 = Front Porch (which is also Parent name)
Location 2 or name given by you (in my case Platform) = WIFI
Device Name (Settings) = Front Porch (same as Parent)
Child Name (Features) = Showed as child device 'Switch'
Becomes bold line above in ET

TC1 Your naming is consistent with mine. I use Technology (i.e. the plugin name) for Loc2 where you use device type. This allows me to see all the devices being managed by a given plugin. Filter Technology(loc2)=Z-Wave and then Location(loc1)=Backyard. With over 900 devices, it help me stay sane. Well, sort of."if I have seen further [than others], it is by standing on the shoulders of giants." --Sir Isaac Newton (1675)
