Everyday the Tuya Integration fails and I need to re-authenticate. Does anyone know how to write an automation that would re-start HA when the Tuya Integration needs to re-authenticate?
Thanks…
I don’t use Tuya, but I have written similar automation in HA, if you don’t mind, I can try to get you start in the right direction.
First use the Developer tools to see what state the Tuya device is in when it needs to be re-authenticate. “Developer tools” is just above “Settings” on the site bar. Then select “STATES” on top, then look for the related Tuya device
To write the automation… Go to Automations, then create new automation.
In the when select “Add Trigger”, then “Entity”, then “State”. Enter the Tuya Entity. Then select “From”, “Any State”, then select “To” “(the state you got from developer tools)”
Then go to “Then Do”, “Add Action”, “Call a service”, then select service “homeassistant.restart”.
I hope this helps get you started.
Writing a automation for a “entity” to call a service and restart HA isn’t what I’m after. I know how to do this. I need to write an automation that would re-start HA when the Tuya Integration needs to re-authenticate.

Config entry ‘[email protected]’ for tuya integration could not authenticate: Authentication failed. Please re-authenticate
The integration itself isn’t an “entity”
I have a similar problem as you with iAqualink, this worked for me, I guess it is a patch until there’s a way to restart an integration.
My problem is my pool is equipment is not close to my Wifi and there’s always a poor connection even when I use a repeater. I use HA to turn my pool pump and pool lights on and off by certain offset positions of the sun. Many times when the automation fires iAqualink is not available because of a connection issue that happened before the automation ran but all that is needed is a restart of the iAqualink integration for the automation to work. I asked on this forum and I searched everywhere, I couldn’t find a way.
But the iAqualink integration has many entities, these entities states change when the integration is offline. I use the state of an Entity to trigger an automation to restart HA. When HA restarts the iAqualink automation is online and the other automations work fine.
This solution has been working flawlessly for me, I planned to run a lan cable to an outdoor access point to improve the connection to the iAqualink but so far it hasn’t been needed.
Sometimes I always do things the hard way for me because I’m just learning HA, but when I find a better solution I will use it.
I have used the state of an entity for Tuya to trigger a reboot. The problem is that if there is a hick-up anywhere with one of the devices (especially with the devices in the cloud). HA was rebooting dozens of times in the day. The best way is an automation that would trigger a reboot only if the Tuya Integration needs to re-authenticate
