Tuya 6-speed fan	Works	Fan speed showed 1-5 then wrong percent; fixed after update Saved copy Hi Kosztyk, My fans have 6 speeds. In Apple HomeKit, it shows 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, and 5%. The 6 setting is missing. Is this something that can be fixed? Here are the logs when I switch from 1 to 6. When my fan is set to 6, HomeKit shows 100%.

Tuya blinds/curtain motor	Works	Stop button requested; tap-to-stop behavior added in latest version Saved copy Right now, you can either click to open/close all the way or choose a specific location using the slder (pic 1). It would be great to have a button to stop it at anytime. I attached an image (pic 2) of how it works for my other device as example Excerpt saved from GitHub on 2026-10-22.	Issue #8 · 2026-08
Tuya DP10 Smart dimmer plug	Works	Showed Not Supported; fixed by mapping bright_value_v2 and switch_led Saved copy Thanks, the screenshots help. The Home app showing Not Supported means the plugin is not exposing this dimmer plug as a valid HomeKit Lightbulb service. The device model is shown as DP10 Smart dimmer Plug, so I need to add/fix the Tuya DP mapping for this type of dimmer plug. Basic lights and outlets working means QR auth and normal command sending are OK; this is specifically a dimmer-plug mapping issue. Can you please send me the Homebridge startup log lines around `Patio Lights`? You can get them with: [code] If possible, also send the cached Tuya device JSON for that device, because I … Excerpt saved from GitHub on 2026-10-22.	Issue #2 · 2026-05

Tuya qxj weather station sensor	Works	PR adds temp_current and humidity_value datapoints; closed Saved copy Thanks for the contribution and for testing this on a real qxj device. The underlying idea is good and I do want to support these datapoints, but I’d like a couple of changes before merging because the current matching is slightly too broad and could produce incorrect HomeKit values on other Tuya devices. The first issue is this condition: schema.code.startsWith('temp_current') That will correctly match: temp_current temp_current_external but it can also match other Tuya datapoints that begin with the same prefix, for example: temp_current_f which is typically a Fahrenheit temperature … Excerpt saved from GitHub on 2026-10-22.

Tuya IR air conditioner remote (infrared_ac)	Partly works	Shows empty accessory in QR mode; open PR adds local IR hub state Saved copy Summary In QR mode, IR AC remotes (`infrared_ac`) currently show up as an empty accessory. The QR cloud has no `remote_keys` and no IR Control Hub API, so `IRAirConditionerAccessory` gets no modes and no temperature range, and it can't send commands. This PR adds `IRAirConditionerHAAccessory`, which extends `IRAirConditionerAccessory`: Commands: sent with the remote's QR functions `PowerOn` / `PowerOff` / `M` / `T` / `F` through `/v1.1/m/thing/{id}/commands`. Only changed settings are sent, one function per request, because the QR cloud rejects several IR AC functions in one request (`1109`). … Excerpt saved from GitHub on 2026-10-22.	PR #16 · 2026-10
