Local Tuya Novostella Flood - No dp_id from API explorer

Third party integrations
1

Trying to add Novostella flood lights to local Tuya. I need to manually add dps, but the api explorer does not post dp_id for attributes. Anyone find a way to figure something like this out?

Get Device Specification Attribute shows the dp_ids where other categories don’t.
Otherwise you just have to guess by comparing values like back in the early days.

Thanks - that is where that data is from… so I’ll continue guessing.

From smarthome section?

This might help lights are usually pretty similar but this is from an arlec flood light

Thanks - Yes from smarthome - general device returns ‘not authorized’

I’ll try these ones and report back. Going to do a hard reset to start fresh.

Not getting it to work… but now through debug can see DP ID is plan text… What can I make of that?

@paulcusick3 Did you get this working?
Which product is this?
I see for generation 2 in order to get tunable white they have a unit that has bluetooth only and requires a bridge for cloud connection (yet another hub, I can’t…)
They have a a unit that has wifi built into each unit, but it’s RGB only.
Shame they did this to their product line.

I just added Novostella floods (wifi version, 25W Blaze model) to localTuya today. I didn’t have to do anything to crazy, manually added them as lights.

10

Are they RGB only or RGB + tunable white?

11

RGB Only.

I am using GitHub - rospogrigio/localtuya: local handling for Tuya devices

I am NOT using: GitHub - make-all/tuya-local: Local support for Tuya devices in Home Assistant – Which does not support color lights.

Just wanted to clarify on what I am using. I don’t think any of the Local Tuya solutions support Bluetooth.

Yeah that’s what I was afraid of. I don’t get why they made that device design choice.

It is working fine. Mine are RBGW, wifi only, no bluetooth. Will have to look at them to see if i see model number. They are about 2 years old though.

edit - from order receipt - part number NTF36-RGBCW-US-2

Ah this looks like the generation 1.
I guess you can still buy them which is nice.
I guess eventually they’ll run out of stock and gen 2’s options look not as nice.

Followup.

After a few days I ditched localTuya. If you totally block the devices from the internet they work fine, for a bit. I ran into a few issues moving the floodlights around (power cycling) and sometimes they would not rejoin.

Went back to the official Tuya integration, been working well for over a year. I may try to flash them with WLED, it is a process and you need to break the glass.

I got my Novostella Blaze 25w RGB off of Tuya with full local control and DDP. All done with OTA flashing.
