Just a post to share that I got a cheap ceiling fan working locally with home assistant and the local tuya addon.
Here’s the fan: Barnet 44 inch WiFi Smart Ceiling Fan with LED Light Flush Mounted
Here’s the custom integration I used: GitHub - rospogrigio/localtuya: local handling for Tuya devices
The hardest part was finding the id and secret key for the device (explained on their github page). It took a long time, but it’s possible.
Next was the addition to the configuration.yaml to get the light to work properly:
light:
- platform: template
lights:
office_light_1:
unique_id: "office_light_combined"
friendly_name: "Office Light"
value_template: "{{ states('light.light1') or states('light.light2') }}"
level_template: "{{ state_attr('light.light1', 'brightness')|d(0,true)|int }}"
turn_on:
action: light.turn_on
entity_id: light.light1, light.light2
turn_off:
action: light.turn_off
entity_id: light.light1, light.light2
set_level:
action: light.turn_on
entity_id: light.light1
data:
brightness: "{{ brightness }}"
Configuring the entities in the local tuya integration is as follows.
Entity 1: Fan
Primary ID = 1
See screenshot for additional configuration
Entity 2: Light 1
Primary ID = 101
See screenshot for additional configuration
Entity 3: Light 2
primary ID = 9
See screenshot for additional configuration
