Accessories no longer responding

[gavinhuet]

Unable to control any of accessory via Homebridge or HomeKit.
Confirmed that everything is still working via the Tuya Smart app on iOS.

If I uninstall the plugin and re-install it, no accessories are found.

Issue arose over the weekend of 14-15 Dec 2024.

Also seeing this. Have done a number of attempts at reconfiguring, removing cached accessories, and no luck. If I had to guess, I'd suspect that Tuya might have changed something at their side?

Confirm same problem here. Also arose on the weekend of 14-15 December 2025. Have also tried deleting cached accessories.

Homebridge log shows the following:

16/12/2024, 22:48:09] [TuyaWebPlatform] Initializing TuyaWebPlatform platform...
[16/12/2024, 22:48:09] Loading 1 accessories...

The final entry above usually would state the login details and something like "successful connected" or similar.

I'm having the same issue. It was working perfectly fine and all of a sudden it's not working from today. I've only made a change to 'show scene' and all of my devices aren't updating either on hoobs nor homekit. It works on the Smartlife App, as well as Tuya Developer API calls. Seems hoobs API call isn't triggering the API correctly? I can't seem to turn on the debugger mode on Hoobs unfortunately :(

[brian-su]

I've had the same issue. But pure dumb luck I accidentally re-installed the plugin and set it up as a child bridge. Then adding the bridge to HomeKit has miraculously fixed everything. But I have 0 idea how or why.

[mbdmbd]

Have tried removing the child bridge, uninstalling plugin, re-installing, and still seeing the same issue.

[raccoon-mh]

I'm having the same problem. The following methods didn't help.

• I tried reinstalling the new home bridge.
• I have reinstalled and updated this new plug-in.
• I tried changing my tuya smart life account.
• I tried to provide Virtual ID to connect directly.

  I guess maybe the API etc on the tuya platform has changed... maybe..
  I am not sure because I did not print debugging logs.

  I'm waiting for it to be resolved as soon as possible, and I'm willing to help you if you need help.

I ended up moving away to tuya platform plugin..:( i liked this plugin more but it seems it's not maintained anymore..

[gavinhuet]

Likewise, it was the opportunity for me to move away from homebridge and tuya.

[benreimers]

I'm having a similar problems with both this plugin and the Tuya platform plugin. There appear to be issues with a couple of the Tuya endpoints (Central Europe and Western America) that are rejecting ICMP connections.

When I try to ping openapi.tuyaeu.com and openapi.tuyaus.com I'm getting no response, but I am getting responses from all other endpoints. However, openssl is connecting to those two endponts and returning SSL certificates that are self-signed (the others are not self-signed).

[0chil]

Finally got it working.
I got hint from what benreimers said and after some researching, I found this.
The discussion is from similar plugin - having same issues.
Somehow disabling IPv6 system-wide makes SSL problems gone - maybe it's an issue related to IPv6 with Tuya IoT servers in some regions.

you should try following commands:

sudo sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1
sudo sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6=1
sudo sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.lo.disable_ipv6=1
sudo sysctl -p

[bmdzi1]

Thank you so much Ochil!

I went into terminal on my home bridge, and copy pasted the commands above and all is now working again!

[alphaorderly]

Anyone has a same problem but not working with 0chil's guild

Enter

echo -e "\n# Disable IPv6" | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf
echo "net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1" | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf
echo "net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6 = 1" | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf

# Apply the changes immediately
sudo sysctl -p

echo "✅ IPv6 has been permanently disabled."

Just copy&paste this code on your server

NOW YOU KNOW
