Tuya Device Help

[Mikeg5098 (Mike G.)]

If anyone needs assistance with configuring products under the Tuya umbrella (Merkury:Geenie, SmartLife, etc…) please check out this post:

Support for the Merkury Light Bulb

Ok, So I have about 6 Merkury Bulbs (some multi-color, some white) that were purchased off the shelf at a Walmart for ~$13. These are fully functional with homeassistant, however there is a bit of configuration beforehand. You will need the ‘Tuya’ app, yes the bulbs are ‘Merkury’ and use the ‘Geenie’ app, but you must set up with the ‘Tuya’ app. If the bulbs were already paired to the Geenie app, they need to be removed from the app and factory reset (there is an option when removing from the a…

doesnt work in 2019 - u have to update the app to use it, can’t use the 1.0.7 version anymore=(

Same here: problems with tuya - try to flash them and get rid of the china cloud:)

Dear,
I would like to flash tasmota on my Arilux rgbw light bulb
Does this works with Ubuntu,
Please guide how to flash tasmota on my device

[Flipso (Fli)]

I dunno how but perhaps read the git provided in the link above.

[ObedientOwl]

I just got a pair of switches working with local control (and without flashing the devices) last night and documented how I did it. Check out my post here and see if it helps.

Do anyone know this issue with tuya?
I get this message every minute. Sometimes the status of my devices are not update.

the tuya internet service is slow(ing?)

Unless you are getting this using the local package, in which case you have a different issue

[unglazedswansea]

So if I switch to local there are another issues ? To find the key plus the entity id ?

Is that not possible to change the time from 15 or 30 seconds to 1 Minute and see what happen? If yes where is the code to change ?

I believe this error is only if you are using the web IoT polling - is the poller complaining.

probably. no idea where.

Ok I am new to HA but I have been using Tuya products for a while. I have the following setup in my config:

tuya:
username: !secret tuya_username
password: !secret tuya_password
country_code: !secret my_country_code
platform: smart_life

Now the first time I did this I could see the lights and sockets but then it all stopped and now I get an error saying I setup “tuya” wrong. Now not sure if this matters but some products were on Tuya_Smart app and others on Smart_Life app but I was able to ditch the Tuya_Smart and put them all under Smart_Life App for IFTTT support. I am at a loss on why it just stopped working. Am I missing an entry? I see some people have things like the below:

lights:

• platform: ‘tuya’
  host: ‘192.168.0.111’
  device_id: ‘22222222dc4f221021b1’
  local_key: ‘aaaaa2a22a2222aa’
  id: 1
  I am not sure how to get the deivce_id or local_key. I saw a post on using another phone app to get them but did not seem to work right. Do I need this for every light, switch, socket, etc for Tuya devices? I have a list of all the assigned IPs so that I have just don’t know how to get the rest.

Any help would be great. After I get that fixed I need to work on Smartthings integration …not working so smooth with bridge and stuff.

Thanks

Greg

[walaj (Jon Waland)]

platform: smart_life

if you are using smart life app.

[gdreelin (Greg Dreelin)]

Yeah I did that too no joy. Comes back and says that Tuya line in config is wrong. Here is what I had:

tuya:
username: !secret tuya_username
password: !secret tuya_password
country_code: !secret my_country_code
platform: smart_life

The username / password / country code are correct.

Seems it is just not finding them.

Tuya do not work anyone for me since Home Assistant 0.87.1

other have the same issue?

[smashah]

Anybody figures out how to control color, temp and brightness of a group of tuya light bulbs at the same time?

[gekim.84]

Updated to HomeAssistant .88 and my local tuya python stopped working as well

[ynot]

Using 0.88.1 and my tuya is working with 4 outlets and 1 dimmer switch. Sometimes when I have a power outage, I sometimes need to re-initialize any non-reporting devices to tuya app.

[smashah]

Can confirm 0.88.1 tuya is completely unreliable.

[sparkydave (🇦🇺 Dave)]

I suggest using tuya-convert to switch from the tuya firmware to ESPhome

[smashah]

I have 14 of these https://www.appliancesdirect.co.uk/p/iq-wifibulbgu10s/electriq-iqwifibulbgu10s-smart-bulb hooked up to a switch and they’re not listed as compatible on the wiki. Will consider for some tuya switches I have. To be honest the google home and app are flawless with tuya, it’s just that HA has a hard time picking them up and I believe the sheer amount of tuya devices and therefore 404s and subsequent retries lead my HA instance (on HASSIO RP3B+) to crash. I’m okay with the slight delay and the value gained using the tuya servers outweighs security concerns. When it works with HA i’m happy but I don’t want it to be so unstable that it continuously crashes my setup.
