Cannot get Tuya Integration to work

Third party integrations

So just to give an update, I got everything working now, thanks @jfdgauthier :pray:

To get the Inkbird iBBQ-4T into HA I had to:

  1. Re-pair it with the “TuyaSmart” app as a “Food Probe (Wi-Fi)”, making sure not to block the device from the internet (stupid me, I really should not be working on smart devices so late at night).
  2. Follow along YouTube tutorials like this one for example on how to create a developer account at tuya and adding your device, and also watch this one on many potential issues that lie ahead
  3. Since I couldn’t get the “get device details” API to work due to my browser blocking cross-origin resource sharing I then used the tuya-api wizard, as detailed here and finally was able to get the proper local key.
  4. When adding the iBBQ-4T to localtuya, make sure to have a look back at the TuyaSmart app again, so that you can quickly understand which broadcasted ID maps to which service (i.e. “107” is the first temperature probe) and make sure to (a) add a scaling factor of 0.01 and (b) use ºF as unit_of_measurement such that HA can convert a broadcasted “8640” to 86,4ºF and then auto-convert this to 30.22ºC in the background :partying_face:
