How do I set up a Tuya bluetooth gateway on a raspberry pi or Proxmox?

I’d like to attach some bluetooth and wifi devices to Tuya. I believe I need a Tuya Gateway. Since I have a raspberry pi 4 sitting idle, and a proxmox nuc with lots of available power, it seems that buying a “tuya gateway” device shouldn’t be necessary.

This is my first look at Tuya,so I’m trying to learn as I go…partially to solve my thermomter interface to HA need…and partially just to learn about Tuya to see what it does and why I should use it for more.

My preference would be to use the NUC proxmox for this…but also the Rpi.

The driver for this is that I have an Inkbird IBBQ-4T which I’d like to use…4 channels…but it’s wifi, not bluetooth and apparently the only way to interface it is through Tuya. Before I open the Inkbird, I want to learn Tuya using my currently bluetooth thermometer.
