LSC Smart Connect - Christmas Lights /localtuya

The hostname = ESP_8A888E

So yes seems to be ESP :slight_smile:

Thanks so much for this, works perfectly with the last box of Multi colored lights I found at Action. It works like a charm @fraintt!

How exactly are you getting this to work? I keep getting “localtuya set.dp not found”, using the following device ID:

At least, I assume that’s the device ID. Turning it on and off seems to work, just can’t use the colors and effects.

Do you have the custom component “local-tuya” installed? If not you also do not have the service-calls for this…
In order for this to work, you need to have GitHub - rospogrigio/localtuya: local handling for Tuya devices installed and added as an Integration.
I do not have and use the official tuya integration.

Ah, that explains a lot. Thanks! Will look into it.

This is perfect! In Australia a number of tuya based christmas lights are coming out with some very cool effects - This lets me add them all to a group and control the look and feel of my whole christmas display on one card on my dashboard.

can anybody help… im trying to get the DPs for my lights and I just cant do it. it seems to work, but it always drops this error.
thanks in advance!
here is what test.py says:

Hi, i have also the “Warm White” Version. Its a mess with all this codes. I made me some sensors an use the Tuya App for control, then i copied the most important codes.

One thing is intresting. Its a combined code.

Brightness 100% is value 0003e8
If you set a scene like Fade wih 100% it changes only the first digits to 0503e8. The speed adds two digits for the level 01-04 . So Fading on 100% with level 4 Speed is 0503e804.
The Combinatios Scene is like the hell for every copy and paste solution. So i have Set only the most important Modes. Brightness from 25% to 100% and every scene with speed 1 and speed 4.
And a Countdown from 30min to 12 hours.

Did you add this as a light or a switch.
If I add it as a light it is shown as ‘unavailable’
only as a switch works

I can confirm that there are different controllers for the same product…bought 2 25m rgb christmas lights and both have other options. one is working fine in tuya and lsc app, the other works only fine in lsc app, in tuya app it is pairable but when you click on it it says offline. if needed i can post screenshots of the tuya iot platform website to see their DP´s! That one does not work prop.:


That one works fine:

I was hopeful when I read your post.
But somehow nothing happens to my lights.

But for some reason, it does not work :frowning:

How did you configure the lightstring itself in local tuya?

Anything specific you entered in this screen?

For me only turning on and/off works. But I’d like to also be able to control the scenes through HA. Timers i’m not interested in as I can manage that in HA directly.

If anyone is still looking to get them to work … I’ve made a pull request on the TuyaLocal (not LocalTuya!) integration to get them working.

Only on off and brightness at this time.

The yaml file is included in the pull request if you want to try yourself.

Yes! I was very happy to find this thread now and just swapped out LocalTuya for Tuya Local to get more options for my string lights. Works great and I’m able to change a lot more things than just on/off as before.

Does anyone know if it’s possible to change the scenes too? I can toggle between music and scene, but not which scene it (apparently).

If this was your work, kudos to you @Sliph

Did anyone try flashing ESPHOME
I saw in the Tasmota site that it uses a ESP but I’m not sure if that’s still the case

Does any one know if the own made Scenes for the Tuya Christmas light end up in the Local Tuya integration scenes option?

No. alas. And right now, idk how to upload.
You can call and set user scene to device, but nothing to-do.
User scenes has different (from description) dp - encoding.
According to description

   "description":"Byte0Byte1 场景大类 编号 Byte2Byte3 大类里面的场景序号",

what in english:

"description":"Byte0Byte1 scene category number\nByte2Byte3 scene number in the category",

but user scenes AFAICS - 01201 what’s wrong from XXYY
and more than is I trying to upload

d.set_value(21, 'scene')
d.set_value(25, '01201')

Nothing. IMHO, I should upload user scheme (bits mask array) before.

Right now, I’m on investigation here. I’ll keep you in the loop.

Thanks for sharing! :slight_smile:

Just to notice, I integrated my iSparkle Christmas Lights flawlessly without any changes to do.

How, if I may ask? Which integration? LocalTuya and the original OPs cards?

Hello @fraintt!

I hope everything is going well. I would like to know if you can suggest me where I can learn about what you have done to make the setup for your Xmas lights.

I bought another LSC product in Action. It is called: “Smart outdoor party lights” LINK

The each bulb can be controlled independently and as a whole using the tuya app. It also has some nice scenes. I would like to replicate a similar behavior in HA. I will really appreciate if you can guide to learn how I can set up my self. (I came from homebridge, so I have a bit of experience in DP, but I am completely new in HA.

Thank you in advance,
Francisco!

Hello,
I´m using the local tuya integration: GitHub - rospogrigio/localtuya: local handling for Tuya devices

the first step is to add the device to the localtuya integration so it is available in HA. During setup of the device in the localtuya integration, you can see also the available DPs for the light, which I took a note of.

Afterwards, I tried to send with the service-call custom values to each DP and thats how I figured out the settings, as far as I can remember…

Moreover, now it is even “easier” to setup, because localtuya integration provides you to setup the entity attributes/DPs directly in the config, which was not an option before (I have setup these lights)…

Moreover, I have also found the following topic: Discovering LocalTuya keys and DP's - #3 by ahmeqas
