Brings into Control4 the devices of the Smart Life and Tuya Smart apps (and brand apps built on Tuya): lights, dimmers, LED strips, switches, outlets, curtains, blinds, sensors, air conditioners and thermostats, plus the app scenes.
No Tuya IoT Platform sign-up: the Smart Life account connects with a QR code, no password and no Access ID/Secret.
No device limit: works with every device in the account.
Local control: Wi-Fi devices are controlled straight from the controller, with instant response, and keep working without internet after setup.
Account as fallback: Zigbee or Bluetooth devices behind a Tuya hub, battery sensors and devices that stop answering on the network are controlled through the Smart Life account.
Automatic creation: every light, switch, outlet, curtain, air conditioner and thermostat gets its own driver in its app room, already connected and named as in the app.
Changes made in the app, on the switch or on the device show up in Control4.
Prerequisites
Devices already set up in the Smart Life or Tuya Smart app. If the brand has its own app built on Tuya, add the devices to Smart Life too.
Access to the customer's Smart Life account (the phone app, to scan the QR) for the first setup.
Wi-Fi devices and controller on the same network. Reserving each device's IP on the router is recommended.
Controller with internet access (required for Zigbee/Bluetooth devices, sensors and scenes).
ZoomDH_Universal_Light.c4z, ZoomDH_Universal_Blind.c4z and ZoomDH_Universal_Thermostat.c4z drivers installed in Composer (this driver adds them to the project).
ZoomDH license key (without a key the driver runs as a 30-day trial).
Installation
Add the ZoomDH – Tuya Smart Life driver to the project.
Open the Setup Page URL address in a browser on the customer's network and connect the Smart Life account (see Smart Life account).
As soon as the account connects, the driver brings the devices and scenes and looks for each Wi-Fi device on the network (about 15 seconds).
With Auto Create Devices = Yes, every light, switch, outlet, curtain, air conditioner and thermostat gets a driver connected to this one, in its app room (see Device Room).
For curtains with position, set Use Levels and Advanced Motor to On on the ZoomDH – Universal Blind.
Refresh Navigators.
To connect by hand: add the Universal Light or Universal Blind and connect it to the connection named after the device on this driver. For air conditioners and thermostats, add the Universal Thermostat, connect it to HVAC Thermostats and pick the device in its Device property. Use the Create Missing Devices action to recreate a deleted driver.
Smart Life account
In the customer's Smart Life (or Tuya Smart) app, open Me › gear (Settings) › Account and Security and copy the User Code.
On the setup page, paste the User Code and tap Generate QR.
In the app, tap the scanner (top right of the home screen), scan the QR and confirm. The page shows Connected in a few seconds.
The QR is valid for a few minutes. If it expires, generate another one.
The setup page shows each device, what it became in Control4 and whether it is on the local network or on the account, and lets you run the scenes.
To switch accounts, use Disconnect on the page or the Disconnect Smart Life Account action. Devices found on the network keep working.

Troubleshooting
The QR does not show or gives a User Code error: check the User Code in the app (Me › Settings › Account and Security) and that the controller has internet. The QR is drawn with an internet library: without internet on the computer, paste the text shown under the QR into a QR generator.
Account connected but a device is missing: the device must be in the account that scanned the QR. If it is in another brand app, add it to Smart Life.
Wi-Fi device shows up through the account: check that it is on the same network as the controller. If it is on another network, enter its IP in Device IP Addresses.
Device stopped answering after being set up again in the app: with the account connected, the driver fetches the new key by itself. Without the account, connect again and run Discover Devices.
Sensor is slow to change: sensors update through the account, every Cloud Poll Interval.
Curtain goes the wrong way or shows inverted position: set Invert Blind Position.
Light, curtain or thermostat driver was not created: check that the Universal Light, Universal Blind and Universal Thermostat drivers are installed in Composer and run Create Missing Devices.
Thermostat without a device: check that it is connected to HVAC Thermostats and pick the device in its Device property.
Commands ignored: the trial ended or the key is invalid. Check License Key and License Status.
