I started using it this week and got the creator to add support for Window Shades. Yay!!

In my case, I, apparently, have a Tuya Smart life wireless interface in my air purifier (alen breathesmart 75i) that the actual manufacturer never implemented. I can control that device with the Tuya app and cloud services. I am not going to flash this thing as who knows what else may get mucked up from it.
FWIW, anyone with their Tuya devices integrated into HA can use the Home Assistant Device Bridge driver to make most sensors and other devices immediately available in Hubitat. Very simple to install and configure.

In case you are not aware, I have a working tuya version working with tuya Wifi. It is described in this thread: Tuya integration - #14 by holand.ivar
It supports both protocol 3.1 and 3.3, and it is running locally, i.e. no cloud.

I try to integrate legacy devices, too numerous to convert or flash. So the WiFi solution would be my only help.
So from that I can tell, the only problem with the Tuya integration is that it can't run locally, but should be able to simply add my Tuya Wifi devices as long as I use the cloud right?
Kinda need to know this before buying Hubitat since I have quite a few of those devices.
Thanks for any info!
You’ll probably need to be more specific about which tuya devices, and more importantly, which community-developed app you intend to use to integrate the devices with Hubitat.
Since Tuya wifi devices aren’t on the official compatibility list, it all depends on what a community dev has been able to do with custom code.

If you are referring to @holand.ivar's community Tuya WiFi integration, it runs locally. There's no cloud involved. The only issue is that you need a computer that can run python for initial device identification.

Basically, I just have a few dimmers and wifi switches that seem to be Tuya that I got off AliExpress. Possibly dimmable... But I simply want to be able to use Hubitat to be able to control those devices in one dashboard. Future purchases will all be z-wave, zigbee or others that are compatible, but don't feel like replacing my "cheap" solutions.
For questions about specific devices, your best bet is to ask the developer of the custom code that integrates Tuya with Hubitat. Reviewing some of the posts above, there are links to the threads a couple devs created to discuss their integrations.
