Hey everyone, I’m thrilled to share my recent journey into the world of smart home automation using Tuya-enabled devices. As someone who’s always on the lookout for ways to streamline daily tasks, I’ve been experimenting with integrating various smart devices into my home setup. However, I’ve hit a bit of a snag when it comes to controlling certain mechanical devices like air valves and window inlets. ![]()
I’ve been researching how to control these devices with Tuya, but I’ve found that most solutions either don’t support the level of precision I need or require a significant amount of engineering work. For instance, I’d love to automate my window inlets with a smart motor that can adjust to different positions, not just open or close. Similarly, controlling an air valve with a rotating motor that can adjust airflow precisely would be a game-changer for my home’s ventilation system. ![]()

I stumbled upon the idea of using Tuya’s blind controllers, but unfortunately, they don’t work with DC motors, which seems to be a common solution for such applications. This has left me a bit stuck, but I’m determined to find a workaround. Maybe there’s a way to adapt existing components or find a third-party solution that bridges the gap? ![]()

I’d love to hear from anyone who’s tackled similar challenges or has insights into how to achieve this level of control with Tuya devices. Whether it’s a clever hack, a recommended product, or just some guidance on where to start, I’d be grateful for any advice! Let’s brainstorm together and see if we can crack this puzzle. ![]()
