Hello to all,
i am reaching out for some help with the latest version of Local Tuya as after updating i faced a lot of problems.
When going through the changelog i was so happy as there was a hard work put in this update. Unfortunately, after updating everything stopped working and i had to re-pair all my devices.
On top of that, i faced problem with recognising the smartplugs i have.
Let me drill down to the issues i faced:
-
While adding new device the local key is not recognised automatically.
-
I have a smart plug from IQ Tech that used to work before with these settings:
However, after updating tuya recognised the state (on/off) but i could not control it. I chose exactly the same as above but it didn’t work. Did something change???
- I have a dimmer switch that even before, i could only set up via yaml. The switch is this one
The yaml code i had was:
# Local Tuya Yaml
localtuya:
- host: -localipaddress-
device_id: -mydeviceid-
local_key: -mylocalkey-
friendly_name: TV Wall Spot Lights
protocol_version: "3.3"
entities:
- platform: light
friendly_name: TV Wall Spot Lights
id: 1 # TV Wall Spot Spot Lights Power ON/OFF
brightness: 2 # Needed for the dimming bar to appear
brightness_lower: 5
brightness_upper: 1000
In the new version, yaml is not used any more but when trying to add the device again under the light domain, i needed to select other options such as colour temperature / color ,kelvin values etc and everything is mandatory. Even if i set them to false, there was no way i could make it recognise the device. What do we do in this case?
Thank you
