How long before a device becomes available in tuya?

Configuration
1

Hi all,

me again. My wife just bought me an aroma thingie… and much to my surprise it’s a WiFi Tuya device. I know they are not supported yet and was wondering how long does it nomaly take for new device types to become available (I see from the docs that they are not supported yet).

Alternatively - how hard is it to add this myself? I have development experience (about 30 years worth) so I guess if it means learning python (that is the language used as far as I can see) it should not be too much of an ask. It would also be nice to give something back to the community.

Everso

P.S. I have been able to control it by adding a scene or two in the app and using them so I am happy to wait.

I think it is fair to say the out of the box tuya integration is fairly static, and there are only bug fixes (the writer of the original code went quiet, and Paul Annekov picked the integration up in terms of keeping it going).

Code for devices is here… https://github.com/PaulAnnekov/tuyaha/tree/master/tuyaha/devices
