Tuya device not able to be configured

1

I have a number of smart plugs that I have added to HA by using the Tuya IOT website to extract the Local Keys for them. The only device that wont configure is listed as a “Smart Non Dimmable Receiver”. I am able to use Tuya’s API management page to get the local key but I get an unknown error when I try to add it.
I have noticed that unlike the other devices, the key for this one contains a number of special characters like slashes and brackets so I don’t know if that’s the problem?
The log is as follows -

Also same issue here.

Anyone know of a fix? Have some new Jaycar / PowerTech RGB light bulbs I want to add to localtuya but get the unknown error when trying to configure/add to localtuya with the new random-character local_key. All old devices (with hex style local_keys) are fine.

Solved my own problem by updating the HA basics (to OS 10.5 / core 2024.10.3 / supervisor 2024.10.2). After that a localTuya update to 5.2.1 became available, which supports adding Tuya devices with local_keys containing any character sequence.

Only problems I have now are working out the right settings for each bulb type!
