Help getting LocalTuya to work

Configuration
1

Hey guys,

I’m trying to get a tuya device working with localtuya and currently running 107 in VM.

I’ve copied over the localtuya directory from @mileperhour and now have

config

custom_components

localtuya

switch.py
manifest.json
init.py
pytuya

init.py

I updated the switch.py code to have from . import pytuya

I’ve confirmed that the device ID, Local Key and IP address are all correct and working using TuyaCLI, where I’m able to successfully tun on the device.

But I’m still getting an error in the Developer Tools Logs

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

  File "/config/custom_components/localtuya/switch.py", line 97, in __get_status
    raise ConnectionError("Failed to update status.")
ConnectionError: Failed to update status.

Any ideas what this could be? How I might be able to fix it?

I have the following setup as a package for my config

###################################
# RecTec RT-700 Bull Package

###################################
# Climate

   sensors:

         {{ states.switch.rectec.attributes.target }}
       unit_of_measurement: 'F' 
     rectec_current:

I finally got this to work by switching out my local to tuya libraries to thus verion from @fastcolors https://github.com/fastcolors/localtuya-homeassistant

Thanks, @fastcolors!!!

I also had to move my sensor template from the package configuration area to my sensors.yaml
