Local Tuya cant find my devices correctly

KrOnAsK · April 22, 2021, 8:15pm

Local Tuya finds other device IDs than the ones reported by the app or the Tuya API and I also always get the same local key for all my devices, can someone help me ?

Please elaborate and add screenshots.

These are my Devices with ID´s and HA is not detecting them correctly

What do you mean

And I don’t understand

Where are you getting the local keys?

KrOnAsK · April 23, 2021, 1:43pm

I am getting them from the https://iot.tuya.com/ website like it is described in all the guides and youtube videos, I get a response from the API but its always the same local key for all my different devices.

HomeAssistant can auto discover the devices on my home network right ? like it does for everyone else apparently and for me it discovers devices too but they have different IDS so idk why it is doing that and how to fix it.

How?

I have a feeling that you’re misinterpreting this.

Did you expect all of the devices to have the same ID?

I don’t think it’s a problem. Screenshot of this “incorrect” behavior?

If you compare the device IDs in the pictures I posted I have 3 devices as shown in the screenshot from tuya but the one with the dropdown menu is from HA from LocalTuya and it shows different IDs, and no the devices have all unique ids and should have unique local keys too.

I am getting my keys from the API on the developer account on tuya.

In all of the tutorials I’ve seen, none of them say to go to the Tuya Cloud’s registered devices to find the IDs and keys. Did you try looking at

github.com

codetheweb/tuyapi/blob/f54843b9d75672ae69f96e779f50e11d188269cb/docs/SETUP.md

**YMMV**: Tuya likes to change their website frequently and the below instructions may be slightly out of date. If something looks wrong, please open a new issue.

All methods below require you to install the CLI tool before proceeding.

Install it by running `npm i @tuyapi/cli -g`. If it returns an error, you may need to prefix the command with `sudo`. (Tip: using `sudo` to install global packages is not considered best practice. See [this NPM article](https://docs.npmjs.com/getting-started/fixing-npm-permissions) for some help.)

## Listing Tuya devices from the **Tuya Smart** or **Smart Life** apps

**Note**: Tuya no longer supports this for accounts created after March 24, 2021. If you created your cloud account after that date, this method will not work.

This method is fast and easy. If you're having trouble manually linking your device with the below method, we recommend you try this. All devices that you want to use **must** be registered in either the Tuya Smart app or the Smart Life app.

1. Follow steps 1 through 5 from the "Linking a Tuya device with Smart Link" method below.
2. Go to Cloud -> Project and click the project you created earlier. Then click "Link Device". Click the "Link Devices by App Account" tab.
3. Click "Add App Account" and scan the QR code from your smart phone/tablet app by going to the 'Me' tab in the app, and tapping a QR code / Scan button in the upper right. Your account will now be linked.
4. On the command line, run `tuya-cli wizard`. It will prompt you for required information, and will then list out all your device names, IDs, and keys for use with TuyAPI. Copy and save this information to a safe place for later reference.

## Linking a Tuya device with Smart Link

This method requires you to create a developer account on [iot.tuya.com](https://iot.tuya.com). It doesn't matter if the device(s) are currently registered in the Tuya Smart app or Smart Life app or not.

Yes I tried that method too, gave me the same local key for everything again.

KTibow · April 23, 2021, 7:02pm

And you get an error when you configure it with those IDs and keys, right? What is it?

KrOnAsK · April 23, 2021, 7:46pm

Yes I get an error even though its the Device ID and local key from the CLI interface (which is the same as when I get the local keys through the Tuya Website)

this is the error.

KTibow · April 23, 2021, 7:47pm

You also need to use the right host.

KrOnAsK · April 23, 2021, 8:24pm

I am the 192.168.10.62 is my zigbee gateway’s Ip

KTibow · April 24, 2021, 1:43am

Why are you using the id for the temperature and humidity sensor with the zigbee hub’s IP?

KrOnAsK · April 24, 2021, 7:01am

Cause it doesnt have its owns since its zigbee, and I also tried using my homeassistant IP as the host IP but that still doesn’t work

KTibow · April 24, 2021, 2:42pm

You should try raising an issue at localtuya. Also, what happens if you directly set up the zigbee gateway instead of another device?

KrOnAsK · April 25, 2021, 5:33pm

I tried that too but it doesnt work either. I think ill have to do that yeah.

Hello Everybody out there,
same Problem here I tried several ways to get the ID´s.
From iot Tuya Cloud Service and with Bluestacks and Tweaker and MArk Watt Tech Tool.
Has the Problem been solved ??
Best wishes
