Hi, same device type here. Using HA 2024.12.0 still not supported.

Please add this contact sensor.

Thanks Marcus

[SebastianCismar]

Hi, have the same problem, please add this contact sensor.

Thanks Sebastian

[lunaticds]

I have a few of these sensors, I'd very much love to see these become supported please.

[papou-github]

Same for me. I would also very much love to see these device to be supported please. Thanks !

[GigaGremlin]

Unfortunately I'm facing the same Problem 3x tuya Contact Sensor p6sqiuesvhmhvv4f unsupported,... only able to use them with the SmartLife/ Tuya App :-(

+1 Just bought a load of door sensors and now trying to install them, HA says unsupported

[patrykat]

frrr me too londonjammo

+1 Just bought a load of door sensors and now trying to install them, HA says unsupported

yeah I had a bunch kind of sucks ha doesn't support them considering getting some small esp32s to see if I can put them in the case yeah it won't run of 2 AAAs but at least it will be useful.

although with some researching it looks like people have had luck with node red so I might try that

[mmmchen]

Hi, I am still waiting for the real HA integration of these sensors.

But as I had iobroker running anyways, I added TUYA integration there and have a script which publishes the state of these sensors to my HA instance via MQTT. you need:

• iobroker
• mqtt (iobroker somehow connect to HA, I have standalone mosquitto broker running)
• tuya adapter (in iobroker)

the script is from https://forum.iobroker.net/topic/78685/iobroker-mqtt-homeassistent-autodiscovery but I modified it to send the contact state as binary sensor. And it might not work for anything else....

You need to mark the states to be published with the function "homeassistent_enabled", really the object doorcontact_state (has name 101 in my case)

Script: script-makedevicesHADiscovery.txt

In HA, I see the sensor twice, TUYA unsupported:

But the MQTT device works :-)

Yes, you need iobroker in addition to HA, but it should be fine to install just the tuya and mqtt adapters.

This is definitely a workaround and might be the node-red way is easier. As mentioned, I had iobroker running anyways, including mqtt and tuya, so this was quick :-)

Hope this helps Marcus

[404invalid-user]

@mmmchen never heard of iobroker before I'll have to take a look at it and see if I can get this setup

[mmmchen]

Hi @404invalid-user ,

might be setting up iobroker just for this is a bit heavy weight.

good luck

[ericandrer]

+1 tried different setups, also LocalTuya config but the issue still there even though having client-id and client-secret

[mmmchen]

We would still like to see these contact sensors supported in HA directly.

[HA-n00b-alt]

I built a small bridge Tuya Cloud to MQTT to support these devices. Just a temporary patch until they get supported in the official integration. Runs as local add on

[octoplayer2]

Hi, Plus one to integrate these devices please. Meanwhile I have just tried a simple workaround... I have other tuya devices that are working in HA, I chose a smart plug that includes a child lock setting, which I don't use, so: Create an scene in smartlife app that turns on the child lock when contact is closed Create a second scene that turns off when contact is open. I can now use the child lock sensor in HA to represent the Contact 🙂. Hth Octo
