Tuya authentication expired

Configuration
1

After the update to HA 2024.7.2 I get this error
image

When I scan the QR code using the Tuya smartlife appliction, it says the QR code has expired, probably because HA generates this when the error was produced, a few days ago.

When I click the reconfigure button, the QR code appears
How can I delete and reinstall the integration, or refresh the QR code ?

Update/Solution:

I just rebooted HA, and scanned the QR code immediately after the reboot, and then the authentication worked.

I decided to post this, even when I found the solution myself now, but perhaps it can help others who encounter the same problem.

Hi guy’s!
I meet the same behavior and after the HA restart, the QR code is well renew and the new registration work again.
What i don’t understand is why every couple of day i have this problem of registration.
I have this problem during a while and now in 2024.12.3 i’ve got alway the same behavior.
It’s very anoying, if anybody have an idea about what’s happen with TUYA or know a workaround about this.
best regards

Just had the problem today, and find another easy solution :

Just connect to HA with privacy session in your browser, the qr code will work first try :slight_smile:

did not work for me :frowning:
any other ideas?

Try this one, seem to be a problem of timing :slight_smile:

Restart HA, and RIGHT AFTER you got the warning that tuya need re configuration, click it and scan the QR code.

Thanks… This worked for me too… I have been struggling with this, and THOUGHT I had done it quickly enough, but I guess not! now it’s working again!

I have the same issue, but with smartlife instead of tuya.
This is what i have in the logs.

If i go to the integration, click Add Hub, add it again, (enter the code, scan the qr, submit), it adds the devices again, and i can just delete the old hub after that. But this needs to be done after EVERY restart.

Any permanent solution?
