A related question regarding a device’s id and vs Localkey - do they or can they change? I’m asking as I removed a mostly working device from LocalTuya & am trying to add it again with corrected parameters but it’s failing to configure, though it s finding device. I’d recorded all the details I used previously inc Localkey but now when I re-add this device I see localTuya discovering a different key to the one I’d saved earlier. Neither work. Not sure that’s the issue but asking so I know. Thanks
They do change, every time you re-add a device to the app.
Hey @umu_ugg , just a Q , why did you fork it and not working together with the make-all edition?
Also, I’m still using the rosporgio edition, but indeed no updates anymore, is there an easy way to upgrade to your version? Or do I need to start from scratch and add each device again?
Thanks - understood
Cheers

This question is answered in above Posts (somewhere in first 1/3 of the Topic)
i got a bth01 thermometer to test, it’s bluetooth…
i don’t understand if i have to add the tuya gateway to localtuya or not.
if so (i need to buy it), will it work anyway if internet goes down?!
thanks
How do you use the bth01 now, through Tuya APP ( Without tuya-gateway ? )
If So, you don’t need the gateway
yes, i used the app for the first configuration of the thermometer… then i had the app closed, values weren’t updating; so a gateway is required
thanks
hmmm, how did you know/see the values weren’t updating, if you had the App closed ?
i mean on ha… btw, even with the app open i see no changes, localtuya doesn’t configure the device…
am i missing something?! is the gateway mandatory?!
thanks
Does your device work without a hub, in your phone APP ? TUYA Phone APP !
Thanks for a great fork, and the works that is going into it.
I had some water timers, working through gateways that just refused to work with the original repository, but because I am travelling at the moment, I spun up a test HA, and loaded your repo, and voila - amazing.
However, I am running into a different issue, and after quite a few days at this, I decided it is prudent to now ask for help.
I have some battery operated PIT sensors, and for the life of me, I cannot get the battery percentage to show on 5 of them. The one difference I picked up is that the one that “did” work, had a model of “CC-S2000”, and the others “Smart WiFi Motion Sensor Recharge”. This is literally the only difference.
I did some research, and from what I could find, it seems the model is captured in config/.storage/core.config_entries. I navigated there, made a backup copy of the file, and changed the model number of one of the ones that says battery state is unknown, to CC-S2000. I did a reboot, and even though it now says it is a CC-S2000, the battery percentage is not working.
The strange thing though that I saw while carefully editing the core.config_entries file, is that there are actually values recorded in this file for the actual battery percentages.
I looked at the file again, and compared the values to Smart Life for each of the devices, and they were correct.
So, the core.config_entries do have values for the batteries (accurate ones), but these values are not being displayed when I am checking the entities / device(s) in Local Tuya.
So, now I am unsure how to troubleshoot further and would love some ideas from thie great community.
Herewith some details from one of the devices as lsited in core.config_entries
"bfc125793f2121xxxxxxxx": {
"friendly_name": "Garage Connex Motion Sensor 3 LT",
"host": "192.168.250.154",
"local_key": "GGaE3~2qxxxxxxxx",
"protocol_version": "3.3",
"enable_debug": false,
"device_sleep_time": 1800,
"entities": [
{
"friendly_name": "Garage Motion Detection LT",
"entity_category": "None",
"state_on": "pir",
"device_class": "motion",
"id": "1",
"platform": "binary_sensor",
"icon": ""
},
{
"friendly_name": "Garage PIR Battery LT",
"entity_category": "diagnostic",
"unit_of_measurement": "%",
"device_class": "battery",
"state_class": "measurement",
"scaling": 1.0,
"id": "4",
"platform": "sensor",
"icon": ""
}
],
"scan_interval": 5,
"reset_dpids": "1,4",
"manual_dps_strings": "1,4",
"model": "Smart WiFi Motion Sensor Recharge ",
"product_key": "key3a8nxxxxxxxx",
"device_id": "bfc125793f2121xxxxxxxx",
"node_id": null,
"dps_strings": [
"1 ( code: pir_state , value: pir )",
"4 ( code: battery_percentage , value: 47 )"
]
},
- The model of device aren’t not used on localtuya control process at all it just an extra info.
- The data on
core.config_entriesare cached from the time you added the device so it won’t change ever because when you added the device it was “47” percentage,
I’m not sure what is exactly your issue, so basically the “Battery LT” doesn’t show the state of the battery and shows “unknown”? You can specify “device sleep time” and “scan interval” also you can’t set device_sleep_time and scan_interval if your device is low-power device remove set 0 in scan_interval and add 0 in manual_dps.
If you want to check that your device is low-power device or not set 0 in device sleep time and wait if it disconnect every some seconds then it it if not then you don’t need device sleep time here.
Excellent, thank you so much! Original Local Tuya does not support my indoor siren but your - does! Great!
One suggestion though - maybe you could change the icon or the name to avoid confustion with the original version?
Hallo,
ich habe den gleichen TV-Lift wie [spitsy] am 8.Februar hier angefragt hat, habe auch das Problem mit der Tuya Cloud dass dieser TV-Lift leider keine Entitäten in der Cloud unterstützt. Habe gerade Local Tuya installiert, hat alle vorhanden Geräte außer dem TV-Lift perfekt aus der Cloud importiert (vielen Dank für diese tolle Integration und deine Mühe)
Leider bekomme ich die Entitäten vom TV-Lift manuell nicht konfiguriert, was muss ich in der Konfiguration eintragen um die Entitäten zu steuern, wo kann ich move_up, Move_down usw eintragen? Vielleicht hat jemand ein Beispiel …
Ich habe schon einiges probiert, aber der Lift reagiert nicht …
Vielen Dank!
Jens
Du müsstest hier bitte auf englisch schreiben, da dies in den Foren-Regeln so fest gelegt ist! Falls Du dem englischen nicht mächtig bist, benutze bitte einen Übersetzer wie z.B. Google Translate.
Vielen Dank!
Please write in english, the forum rules require you to. If you don’t speak english, please use a translator like Google Translate.
Thanks!
Sorry, no problem

Hello,
I have the same TV-Lift as [spitsy] requested here on February 8th, I also have the problem with the Tuya Cloud that this TV-Lift unfortunately does not support entities in the cloud. Just installed Local Tuya, imported all existing devices except the TV-Lift perfectly from the cloud (thanks for this great integration and your effort)
Unfortunately I can’t get the entities from the TV-Lift configured manually, what do I have to enter in the configuration to control the entities, where can I enter move_up, move_down etc? Maybe someone has an example …
I have already tried a few things, but the lift does not respond …
Thank you very much!
Jens
Thank you. Wanted to add, you can also use: recall1; recall2; recall3 if you have set positions saved.
