So, I am looking to get some new lights for our shop, and the Artika Sunray’s look pretty good from Costco. It seems like they are full RGBW according to this video (though the Costco Website is really sparse) and support 2.4 Ghz Wifi
I can’t find anything on the forums when searching for Artika. I have seen other people that took our the IR reader, and replaced it with an ESP32.
Would rather they just work with HA.
Thats a pretty good point…
I saw this comment on a Costco review:
“To my surprise, it was very easy to set the panel up in the Tuya Smart app (instead of the Artika app suggested in the manual). This means it was trivial to add it to my Home Assistant infrastructure.”
Haven’t validated it yet myself, but I’ll test when I get home later.
Can confirm that my Artika Skyshade lights are easy to connect and control with the Tuya Smart app and then to integrate with Home Assistant. This is the way to go if you have Artika Smart lights.
Outlook is cloudy. 
I picked up 6 of these on Sale at Costco.
However, I got the non-RGB non-Wifi version. Cheaper, and I already have smart switches controlling the area. RGB would be nice, but I really don’t need that for a shop. I think I paid $25 each?
It should be said that the RGB version appears to be in Canada (I saw these in Kelowna BC) whereas the non-RGB non-Wifi ones are in the US (Where I got mine)
Hey, how did this work out? I don’t have these exact panels, but it would be good to know as if they do work, I may pick some up next time I am in Canada (which happens often, as I am Canadian)
Anyone got it working with local tuya?
Everything should be working but the light stays unavailable in HA, is there a special config to apply?
