I’m having the same problem, I think i need to add this module: https://github.com/clach04/python-tuya to hass.io. I’m trying to use tuya devices using this https://github.com/sean6541/tuya-homeassistant, but i’m not sure how to do this.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Nathan
When you switch to hassbian, how much of configuration did you managed to preserve?
if you have z-wave device, do you have to remove all nodes in z-wave network first?
I think hass.io is, along with home assistant cloud, how home assistant making their money in the future. Nothing wrong with that per se, just that the reason why i am using home assistant is precisely because its flexibility and control over convenience. Hass.io represents the worse of both world: i no longer have all the control over the underlying platform, while the GUI and other configuration is still very painful to get it right.
All I did was copy all my config files, build a new Hassbian system and restore all the config files. I didn’t have much going on to begin with, just a few lights, switches and an alarm component, so everything came right up. Your mileage may very.
Same here, just copied over my .config file. I had a few yaml errors, just stuff that changed with newer versions of HA. Getting it up and going was a breeze especially with the addons.
I just dont know how to get a python module added 
For hassio, you might be able to just copy the folder for python-tuya into the same directory as your custom component for tuya-homeassistant, i.e.
- custom_components
| - switch
| - | - tuya.py
| - | - pytuya
| - | - | - __init__.py
That might be enough for the tuya component to find the pytuya library.
For hassbian: pip install python-tuya
I’ll give that a try, I didn’t think about that.
Thanks for your help, but that didnt work. 
Try also changing this line from
import pytuya
to
from . import pytuya
I was able to import a local test module I made from a custom component that way.
Edit: Worked to import pytuya as well. I was actually able to create a switch with the tuya custom component. Of course, I get an error when I try to turn it on/off because I don’t actually have a device to control, but at least it doesn’t fail trying to use the module.
Thanks for the suggestion! Here is my modified version of tuya.py
but i get the following error
I think maybe i have formatting wrong?
I also have pytuya init.py copied to your suggested folder
Thanks agan
Yeah, just a formatting error. The code is indented with spaces and your editor likely inserted a tab. Just replace any tabs it added with spaces and it should be good.
Specify the package name and version inside the custom component - see https://home-assistant.io/developers/component_deps_and_reqs/
Thanks you.
I’ll take a look at both suggestions later tonight.
The custom component already has
REQUIREMENTS = ['pytuya==5.0']
But it obviously doesn’t install it automatically. Is there something special needed to get it to install automatically on hassio?
I thing i got it installed?! but Im getting an error:
Is this the error you got without a switch connected?

Nope that’s different. Looks like it’s not getting the data it expects. I did notice that the custom component was updated to use a newer version of the pytuya library. So maybe try pulling down the 5.0 release of pytuya, get the updated custom component, make that tweak for the import and try again?
I added a tuya/smart life plug using the resource you mentioned and didn’t need to install the python-tuya module. Only problem I’m having is that hass.io doesn’t seem to be able to retrieve (or the plug isn’t reporting) the current on/off state so the toggle in hass doesn’t work. See my recent post. I’d be happy to help you out with the process I used if you haven’t got it going yet.
Yeah I till haven’t got it going, I still get the errors above. pytuya is getting installed, but i see the above error repeating in my log.
Thanks,
Nathan
Can’t help with the errors, but I will mention that I connected the device with and app called efamilyhome and pulled the device and local keys using tuya key grabber.
I haven’t gotten mine working yet but I did eliminate the KeyError. I needed to keep the “id: 1” line in the config. After that I was able to start up HassIO with no error, however, I still can’t get it to control my device. When I try to turn it on I get the following error…
2018-02-04 14:45:08 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.core] Error executing service <ServiceCall switch.turn_on: entity_id=[‘switch.plug_213’]>
This is followed by a bunch of other stuff that I didn’t include here.
tuya is the reason I asked this question!
