I’ve been using my SmartThings Hub V2 for several years now, primarily as a bridge for Alexa, with minimal automation setup. Recently, I’ve been trying to migrate all my devices to the SmartThings ecosystem, including some Tuya and Shelly devices. However, I’ve encountered difficulties in integrating my EZVIZ Wi-Fi smart plugs. The plugs themselves are quite sturdy, with an ESP8285 MCU inside, but I lack the necessary hardware to perform a Tuya-Convert, which would require disassembling the device—a process I’m hesitant to undertake due to the mains power connection involved.
I’ve reached out to the community to see if anyone has successfully integrated EZVIZ devices into SmartThings. While waiting for responses, I’ve been exploring alternative solutions, such as using third-party apps or checking for firmware updates that might improve compatibility. It’s a bit frustrating, but I’m hopeful that with some research and community support, I can find a workaround.
In the meantime, I’ve been experimenting with other devices to keep my smart home setup expanding. For instance, I’ve recently paired a Monoprice 4-in-1 sensor with my SmartThings hub, which has been a breeze thanks to the detailed guides available online. It’s been a good reminder of how versatile the SmartThings ecosystem can be when everything works smoothly.
I’d love to hear from anyone who has successfully integrated EZVIZ devices or has advice on troubleshooting this specific issue. Let’s keep the conversation going and help each other navigate these integration challenges!
