Tuya Device Help

Configuration
124

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

platform: smart_life

if you are using smart life app.

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?

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

129

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

130

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.

131

Can confirm 0.88.1 tuya is completely unreliable.

132

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

133

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.

134

I wouldn’t mind betting that this would work with those globes, even if you had to change the GPIO allocation slightly

135

It’ll probably work. I have 2 spare so I’ll build a little rig to test out. At least it’ll help people in the future even if I don’t choose to use it. Will report back with findings.

136

Good stuff! If you do prove to get it working, please add to the Git page that I linked (or directly to Otto with his ESPhome site). The owner of that Git is planning to merge his findings with the ESPhome website to help create a database of known device configs

137

Will do thanks

138

I was able to make my tuya switches work with 0.88 again thanks to this person’s post:

post #29
[Tuya switch]

Also sharing my findings after using that method:
post #55
[Tuya switch]

139

I am seeing the same thing with the new version. It did work at first then stopped.

140

Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
I am getting every time the following issue in my logs:

Updating tuya cover took longer than the scheduled update interval 0:00:15
14:54 helpers/entity_platform.py (WARNING)

141

the only fix is to not use the cloud version. I believe this is just the tuya cloud being slow to respond to the HA poll.

(that said, maybe we both have slow/busy internet connections)

142

I get the same errors constantly for all my Tuya Cover Switches. I tried direct no-cloud access using DeviceId, Localkey etc but couldn’t make it work for a cover switch. They show up as on/off switch, not open/stop/close cover switch. If anybody can help…

143

so that means that it did not work fine with the “offline” version?
You roll it back to the online cloud functionality ?
