Yes I do. All my Tuya Devices work fine on the local Tuya, except these 3…simply these 3 devices do not appear if I try to add them via the Local Tuya integration… (maybe because they do not have a local IP ? since they are controlled via the hub ?). Because the HUB I can add it but not the devices …I even tried to configure manually and I have everything except the host (IP address that I cannot find it since it connects directly to the HUB). Any idea why / how to solve this ?
So you mean that they are not directly connected to the network but instead they are managed via a hub (Bluetooth?) and it’s just the hub connected to the network?
If so yes, this is the reason why you cannot see them to be added to LocalTuya.
Mine is a wifi valve, that is why I was able to set it up on LocalTuya
Correct they are connected to the HUB (not via Bluetooth its a “kind of” wifi/ZigBee protocol). I even can see then on the Tuya IoT Platform… This is the model I am using (exactly the one that is referred on the header of this post):
Thanks

In any case they are connected via a network hub, and that’s why you cannot see them on the LocalTuya, as because they do not have a direct network connection.
Hello
So you do NOT have any Hub ? I thought you sued the same model (Rain Point devices with the Hub)…
(Those 2 sensors that you’ve created: they are “linked” to the Tuya device or they are just independent ? )
What exactly does your % actions mean? Via the latest Guys Smart integration, Tap to Run I can create on and off scenes but do not know how to create a scene that is on for a defined time, then off.
Where do you get the Tuya IoT Access ID and Tuya IoT Access Secret?
Would you be willing to share your code? I’m trying to do the same thing, but want to somehow accumulate the precipitation to date and trigger the irrigation if it falls below a certain level and it’s forecast not to rain.
Scenes are working properly in HA, so I can turn on/off the irrigation. However, how can I visualize the water flow from the sensors in HA? I want to see the water usage per day, similar to the app. It would be great if someone here has managed to get this feature working in HA.

Hello, I have integrated the RainPoint water timer with Tuya app. I have one entity available for wifi socket. How can I create a switch for water timer and a sensor for soil moisture and water flow?

I checked the API a little bit deeper. All values are available like soil moisture, temperature, etc. My knowledge is not big enough to code a sensor with the data in the API, hopefully somebody can support here. Thanks!
I have the same irrigator (hub + valve) from RainPoint. Someone who can address how to manage it in HomeAssistant?
Thank you!
I’m able to control it with this fork of LocalTuya GitHub - xZetsubou/hass-localtuya: 🔹 A Home Assistant integration to handle Tuya devices locally "fork from localtuya"
Other solution with original local Tuya?
hi, I bought this valve (wifi) with hub. I installed it and it works perfectly with his app. I wanted to pair the hub with Tuya smart app but the Tuya smart app doesn’t detect the hub. I specify that I put the hub in pairing mode, wifi channel not 5 but it doesn’t detect it. Has anyone had the same problem as me? Thank you

I’m using a wifi/Zigbee hub and a wifi/Bluetooth gateway. All paired well with the Tuya app. I have a scene to switch on a plug that works. A scene to activate my irrigation triggers (I see it in the log), but the water timer doesn’t actually turn on. However, I can turn it on manually via the Tuya app, and it’ll turn off after a preset time. Has anyone encountered this?
how is your hub connected? Bluetooth? Wired?

(Long write-up with detailed info that is hopefully helpfully to newbies)
I just purchesd a 2-zone with hub water timer, different brand, same setup. The hub doubles as a wifi plug, though. Both devices show up in HA with the official Tuya integration, but I can’t control the plug or the valves. I was hoping to work around this by creating tap-to-trigger automations in the tuya app, which also show up in HA, but like you, they don’t work. The only way to control the valves in Tuya is through the device controls/schedule.
So I ended up adding the localtuya integration linked above. Through it, I was able to add the plug/hub to control the plug and add the water timer, which is referred to as a sub-device. The entities it created did not include the valves, though.
I went the local tuya device list, selected the water timer, then downoaded the diagnostics. The last item in the diagnostic is what you want to look at, which includes a long list of “dps_data” items. The first 2 were the switch controls.
I went back to local tuya, selected configure, then Reconfigure existing device and selected the water timer. Near the bottom, you can select “Add new entity(s)”, then added a switch. From there I added 1 switch_1 and gave it a friendly name, submited, then unchecked to not add more, then added the second switch.
The entities were added, but initially did not work. I’m still playing with it - the whole device is sometimes unavailable or the switches just don’t work. I saw that there may be an issue if the tuya app is open on my phone, so I quit the app, then the switches started working a bit later, then didn’t for a few minutes, then started working again. Gonna need to test this repeatedly to make sure it keeps working.
For security, I will probably create a helper switch for each valve. In my automations, I will have both the valve and the helper turn on or off, then have backup automation and phone alerts if there’s a mismatch (because if the valve doesn’t respond, the state will revert back to the last state after a few seconds).
hi
can you pls explain in more details?
