Tuya / Smart Life Plugs not showing up

Third party integrations
1

I’m trying to get my Tuya smart plugs to show up in Home Assistant. I’ve set them up using the Smart Life app which works fine on my phone.

I’ve followed the integration link at https://www.home-assistant.io/components/tuya/ and added the following to my configuration.yaml file:

tuya:
  username: my_email_address
  password: my_password
  country_code: 44
  platform: smart_life

Nothing shows up in the Home Assistant web dashboard. I just set it up so perhaps I did something wrong, any ideas?

There are no errors in the logs or configuration when checking the config or restarting.

I tried the force_update and pull_devices service which said unable to find service in the logs.

EDIT: I was editing the wrong configuration.yaml file, not the one in the homeassistant user :man_facepalming:

My own tuya/smart_life account username is my phone number that I registered with. I know the tuya app said I could use my email address but only my phone number worked. (no country code, just the 10 digit phone number, no dashes dots or other stuff either)

Greetings,
Does anyone know if the dev team is going to implement the sensors in the tuya component?

I only have the username (my email) and password, I don’t have the platform data inputted (not sure if this changed since first implementation) and it works well

It might be defaulted to one of the platforms but when I first added my user info I got an error in the log when trying to access the wrong platform with the wrong credentials. Had to re-registered my account to the official Tuya one and adding Tuya as platform, then no problem what so ever.
