Getting Tuya on Raspberry Pi 3

Configuration
1

Hi everyone,

I just did a clean install of HA 0.94.4 on a Raspberry Pi 3, using the flash-able image provided Using the default repositories I managed to download and configure my TP-Link devices and my ChromeCast. Now I am trying to install the Tuya component in order to get access to all my SmartLife bulbs and plugs.

However, when I go to Hass.io -> Add-on Store and search for it, it’s not available. I tried to manually add its repository (https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/tree/dev/homeassistant/components/tuya) but with no success. I realise it’s a totally noob question, but could anyone provide me the actual repository URL that could be imported? Or, is there a way to download the git branch and manually install it?

Cheers,

Nikos

I converted all of mine to Tasmota but if you want to leave them as Tuya, you just need to add the Tuya component in the configuration.yaml

Thanks for that, however what is the directory of the configuration.yaml?

The configuration.yaml is in the config directory…
How are you connecting going to make changes? Samba share, Visual Studio Code, Configurator… Depending on what you are using it is easier to explain based on the tool

/config (if you ssh in as root or use Samba for file share)

Because it’s not an add-on. Add-ons are other apps that work WITH home assistant. Components (now referred to as integrations) are how you connect with your devices.

Ok, after a couple of hours I realised what was going on.

Managed to enter my tuya credentials and somehow it discovered my devices after many, many, many unsuccessful attempts.

Cheers everyone!
