The End of Tuya v2?
Yesterday Tuya announced the End of the Tuya v2 Home Assistant integration. In short Tuya v2 which was available through HACS will now no longer be developed.
Instead focuses will be directly on contributing to the new Tuya Integration in Home Assistant Core. Tuya v2 and the New HA Core Tuya integration are separate and different integrations. Tuya will still be helping with contributions to the Core integration.
They do both utilize Tuyasâ new Open APIâs but v2 isnât sanitized and doesnât comply with Home Assistants standards and practices. This is why The new Tuya Integration is separate from v2 as it had to be built from the ground up.
This does however work out well as there will now only be one place to report issues and one place request features etc.
In this video I quickly run through the above and then run through some various troubleshooting for the new Core integration, and finish up with a quick look at some of the Awesome work that the Legend that is Frack has been doing!
Lots of support for products that have been highly requested from HA Tuya users,
If you want to see more details on the new new features be sure to checkout Franckâs Twitter and the HA Core PRâs!
TLDR; Tuya v2 which was available through HACS will now no longer be developed, instead all focuses and contributions will be made to the new Core Version.
