Tuya LOCAL with energy monitoring and without tuya-convert

Did you set correct limits for the brightness ranges here? I might have to add some debug points again to see if it works better. Also, feel free to post future logs in the PR instead so we better can keep track of what’s not working.

Hi @postlund,
in the light.py file of the repository “https://github.com/rospogrigio/localtuya-homeassistant/pull/84” there is no longer the possibility to set the levels for the MIN and MAX attributes.

is this the custom localtuya right?
localtuya-homeassistant-fix_0d_devices

I also tried to put back the repository “https://github.com/rospogrigio/localtuya-homeassistant/pull/80/” file localtuya “localtuya-homeassistant-light_range”, but here I have the problem that I can’t even manage the ON and OFF status even by setting my values 10 / 1000

PS Where do you want me to write the logs to keep track?

postlund · October 15, 2020, 5:43pm

I have rebased #80 now, so it shall have all the fixes you need. Please try it out. You can write updates/logs in #80.

SmartM-ui · October 15, 2020, 6:26pm

Hi @postlund,
I answered in topic 80 #

I don’t know if in the right section

postlund · October 15, 2020, 7:39pm

That’s perfect!

@rospogrigio I think in general we should ask people to create new issues for bugs and feature requests, rather than take the lengthy discussion here. Any thoughts?

postlund · October 15, 2020, 9:20pm

Except for some polishing, I’m done. Would love some input. You can try it out here:

robb1 · October 15, 2020, 11:34pm

Thanks for your efforts.
Checking it out now.

postlund · October 16, 2020, 5:23am

Something like this will do:

git fetch origin
git checkout origin/discovery_updates

I had it originally installed from the zip file back in early July so my config yaml needs to be re-worked to suit current file structure.
Previously I had

switch:
  - platform: localtuya
    host: 192.168.1.20
    local_key: 0117a0655exxxxxx
    device_id: 655256142462abyyyyyy
    name: tuya_kitch_01
    friendly_name: tuya_kitch_01
    protocol_version: 3.3
    current: 18
    current_consumption: 19
    voltage: 20

so now I need:

localtuya:
    - host: 192.168.1.20  
      local_key: 0117a0655exxxxxx
      device_id: 655256142462abyyyyyy
      friendly_name: Tuya Device
      protocol_version: 3.3
      entities:
        - platform: switch
          friendly_name: Kitchen Plug 1
          id: 1
          current: 18 # Optional
          current_consumption: 19 # Optional
          voltage: 20

but I am getting invalid config

 Invalid config for [switch.localtuya]: required key not provided @ data['device_id']. Got None
required key not provided @ data['friendly_name']. Got None
required key not provided @ data['host']. Got None
required key not provided @ data['local_key']. Got None
required key not provided @ data['name']. Got None. (See ?, line ?).

Is the README.md up to date?

postlund · October 16, 2020, 6:08am

The config looks about right. Just run with id 1 for the moment, usually correct. IP address is to the plug, but try enter another IP address instead. It should hopefully recover, that’s the point.

That error comes from your old switch config, just remove it.

Edit: README.me in the repo should be ok.

robb1 · October 16, 2020, 6:36am

It was getting fussy with me. I needed quotes around the 3.3 in the version line.

Now it is connecting ok and all voltage, current etc. values are reading as well.
Looking good! Great work.
I shall explore the other 2 devices and see if they pick up on change of ip address.

robb1 · October 16, 2020, 6:41am

Oh I see that sensor entities are not created for the voltage, current values with the above config so I need to add these as extra entities with their own id number?
They show as values in the switch entity but need to be created separately so as to show in lovelace cards.

postlund · October 16, 2020, 6:45am

Yeah, you need to add additional sensor entities to pull those values out. I think there’s an example in the readme (at least for one type of sensor).

dutchdevil83 · October 16, 2020, 6:56am

value_template: {{ state_attr(‘switch.yourtuya’, ‘voltage’) }}

postlund · October 16, 2020, 7:24am

You can do it natively without having to clutter with additional template sensors directly in the integration.

robb1 · October 16, 2020, 7:27am

One question is

device_class: current_consumption

no longer valid?
I had this

      - platform: sensor
        friendly_name: Plug 1 Power
        id: 19
        device_class: current_consumption

but get


Invalid config for [localtuya]: value is not allowed for dictionary value @ data['localtuya'][0]['entities'][2]['device_class']. Got 'current_consumption'
value is not allowed for dictionary value @ data['localtuya'][0]['entities'][2]['platform']. Got 'sensor'. (See /config/configuration.yaml, line 273).

rospogrigio · October 16, 2020, 7:31am

Yeah I was thinking the same. I’d leave this huge thread for questions, proposals or first-level support but would move issues-solving in new Issues posts and/or related PRss. So I’d ask @SmartM-ui and @juan11perez to continue with the discussion with their issues in the PRs created for them.
Agree?

dutchdevil83 · October 16, 2020, 8:10am

Use Device_class: power (unit kWh) / Device_class: energy (unit W) / Device_class: current (unit A) and Device_class: voltage (unit V) and Device_class: power_factor (unit Pf)

rospogrigio · October 16, 2020, 12:41pm

Hi all, I finally published a new release, v.3.0.0 that introduces:

asyncio in communication, with push updates: now status changes are immediate (also from physical buttons!)
persistent connection, instead of open-close connection; NOTE: some devices don’t support multiple connections, so it will not be possible to use Tuya app together with HA for those devices
(minor) brightness range remapping for light platform

Enjoy, and super thanks to @postlund for the amazing job !

SmartM-ui · October 16, 2020, 12:51pm

THANK YOU!
Great job, you are SUPER
