HA Green & local Tuya integration (for Dummies)?

There are a few local Tuya integrationa that will work after obtaining a local key for your device… Straightforward it is not. Getting the key can be complicated.

Look for “local Tuya” on HACS for at least one Tuya integration that runs locally.

Also you may need to renew said local key on occasion which involves getting Tuya to re-enable your Tuya IoT cloud developer account every 6 or so months.

Many older Tuya devices were esp32 under the hood and could be flashed to something controlled locally with esphome or tasmota but that’s becoming a rare case with new stuff.

And now you know why a lot of us avoid Tuya devices like the plage. Personality I will only buy a Tuya device if it’s literally the only option (such as my sunbeam electric blanket) in a device class. Otherwise zigbee ZWave esp32 and other local modes of communication are my choices.
