Works with: hover or tap an icon for the system name. A system is shown when it supports the product directly or through the hub the listing requires. Tuya Zigbee motors need a Tuya / Smart Life Zigbee gateway and work with Home Assistant through the Tuya integration or Zigbee2MQTT. Graywind and Yoolax sell several motor types on one listing; pick the Zigbee option.
