They have an applet in IFTTT for them. Smart Life IFTTT Applet. You just need to make a webhooks applet that links it with smartlife. Do you need help with setting this up? I could go further if so.
They have an API available to use. I just don’t have the technical knowledge to make a custom component to control it with. I couldn’t see this being very hard for someone that does have the knowledge to set something like this up and I would be willing to send someone one of these to test out and make the component with if it would help the community.

The setback for IFTTT is that it takes too long to turn on/off the socket, while the app does it immediately.

I wonder if we can get MQTT working with it via Tuya somehow. I’m a complete noob and only have HA working from watching and re watching many many youtube vids, so I’m just making an observation.

This would be so awesome. Seeing how the app (Smart Life) works well with so many different (low cost) devices, it would indeed be an immense “upgrade” to HA.

Awesome! I’m gonna give this a try sometime during the week and see if I can get it set up. Still wish we could get this set up as an integrated platform though.
This work with my Smart Bulbs. I can turn them on and off. Is it possible to control brightness and color ?
That would be great!
Has anyone started working on this or anything?

There this python library to communicate with Tuya devices: https://github.com/clach04/python-tuya
Guess is just a matter of creating a HA plugin.
EDIT
Which already exists: https://github.com/sean6541/tuya-homeassistant
If anyone able to get it setup, please post your finding or steps.
I tried unsuccessfully, to get the Device Key various ways.
The plugin says it only works with switches.
What did you do to forward all traffic to your computer? I’m a bit confused by step 1 in this documentation (http://seandev.org/tuyainst/). I’ve got plenty of port forwards, but I don’t understand what I’m being asked to do. Know of any guides that might help? Thank you so much!
Also just voted! How many do we need?
