Tuya Smart Reviews 146

Tuya is playing a very dishonest and dirty game by blocking manufacturers' non-certified ZigBee devices, shifting the manufacturer's responsibility onto the end users. Don't use Tuya!

Only gave this 1 star cause I had to,steer clear of their video doorbells, absolutely useless!don't connect to Alexa and only alert you that the doorbell has been pressed when I'm in the tuya/smartlife app,biggest waste of money and time

I would give zero stars for the Tuya video doorbell if i could,,what an absolute waste of money,,only gives you video when someone rings the doorbell and even that is hit and miss,i should have known better to buy such tat.

Tuya smart lights are the bane of my existence. I got them a few years ago for my new house because I wanted to splurge with the family room lighting, they have been the biggest hassle and pain in the head. They’re consistently frustrating because they keep breaking getting disconnected some of them going off-line and some of them not going off-line Nothings in sync. It’s terrible and drives me absolutely crazy!! DO NOT BUY!!!

Dire, it will not let you respond in time to anyone ringing the bell, it just goes into sleep mode. I’ve tried my best to get it to work, I’ve even subscribed to motion detection in the hope that would extend my chance, but it can’t detect anything?? If anyone knows how to get it to work please let me know but this is such a waste of money

I got smart lights from a local dutch company nice features compatible with alexa, it turns out it is tuya branded, to install the three lights, I have to give the app my email address and internet password, it is asking my precise location, i do it once set the lights to a static setting then deleted the app changed the password, I will use them as regular lights. Every week the lights resets themselves starting to blink faster and faster asking me to pair them again with the app. I am sick of it for the convenience of few bucks you are selling your privacy and you get annoyed by the eapidly blinking lights, you have been warned.

Who makes you pay just for notification text? Never buy their products.

I’m surprised at the poor reviews of this video doorbell. As well as a good price, it’s connected to my network easily and the quality of the videos and screenshots is very good.

Totally useless Bell can’t be heard Video only captures when bell is pushed so does not capture live footage
Do not buy !!!!

this is garbage, so dificult to install that I give up, I loss my money

The video is clear, but you have to go into the App to find it. By the time I have found it the person on the doorstep has gone or become impatient.
You get a notification glash up on the screen but it quickly disappears and I'm left searching for the App!!! Not sure if others have sane issues.

Got this product because neighbours kept causing issues at our front door but the doorbell constantly disconnects we've had around 12 issues give or take within 6 months the doorbell catches the first 2 seconds of them showing up then absolutely nothing afterwards which defeats the purpose of even installing it in the first place. I wish that we'd just got the Ring Doorbell.

Battery goes flat quickly, even after a few months. Also camera loses all it's settings, wifi , everything when it loses all power. Quite useless really.
App also expires, then you need to purchase pro version.
Waste of money.

It constantly takes minute by minute photos of my car in the driveway therefore it uses the battery up and I'm constantly having to recharge it daily. There aren't enough settings to adjust the camera. Its very annoying to hear the alert going all evening. So I end up turning alerts off which defeats the object of having a video doorbell. Not worth the money.

Worst App and lights ever bought. Has never worked since day one

Very poor product. These were actually distributed by our local police force to deter crime in the area. However the battery runs out very quickly, ours lasts 6 days and then requires 10-12 hours charging!!
The app disconnects constantly and then needs refreshing. The night image is not very clear in regards to picture quality of people.
When you try to answer the bell it would be quicker to go home and answer the door, as the app takes ages to load and will then crash!
Ours alerts you for people walking or driving by, when they are no where near the door.
After a few months ours has stopped recording, says there is no memory card inserted but it is still in there.
Load of rubbish, I’m just glad ours was free.
DO NOT BOTHER

Useless door bell device. Never trust 10 top rated links. Could tell the device was a con as soon as I opened the box as there is no manufacturer’s name anywhere on the box or device. As all the reviews say don’t go near TUYA!

Continuous disconnection. Connects for a minute. I guess you get what you pay for.

Literally the WORST APP ever created by mankind! Nothing works, lags horribly, broken menus, no options to manage your devices. Never hire coders from the local post office! No support!

Have an electric radiator with wifi thermostat… dropped connection to wifi after a few hours, said couldn’t find router when it was about 6ft away.. cheap Chinese tat…
