I simply mount the fs of the mobile phone on my PC, then copy/paste!
Of course, I am root on the phone.
would you spoon feed me on this one?
I used to use ftpfs and mount it on my linux.
how do you mount your mobile phone?
I simply plug the phone to USB, selecting MTP protocol on the phone and my linux mint mounts it.

Have you seen the new HA component?
just found out that today (prior to your post). thank you.
Dear all:
After 6 months of struggling (literally), I FINALLY got tuya-based switch to work.
The following is instruction to get it work:
1) For early adapter, or those who tried so hard to trying to get tuya-based switch to work in the past, the very first step is to make sure you REMOVE the custom tuya components you at one time downloaded from
As of Home Assistant 0.74.0, tuya component is built in. You absolutely need to remove the custom component or entire HA is going to shorten your life span.
2) get the device ID and local keys. There are plenty of post show you how to do this, different methods can be used. The method I used is the one posted on this thread by boggiano simply because I rooted all my phones so this wasn’t a problem. All the info is in the following file in your android phone if you installed “Smart Life” app:
/data/data/com.tuya.smartlife/shared_prefs/dev_data_storage.xml
There are a couple pitfalls to watch out for. First, there are many information out there, the two absolutely needed are devId and localKey Let me repeat this, what you are looking for is devId, AND localKey . There are other attributes such as uuid and key. And for our purpose, they only exist to confuse the weak minds. Second pitfall is that this localKey do changes if you decided to switch apps to control tuya-based devices (exactly when the localKey changes is something I still don’t exactly know). Since there are plenty of apps (efamilyCloud, Smartlife, tuya, jimvoo, etc) that control tuya, I recommend you stick with ONE app to avoid localkey being changed without your knowledge.
3) Once you have all the deviceID and localKeys ready, you need to put these into your configuration.yaml file:
tuya:
username: XXX
password: YYY
country_code: ZZ
In the switch section, there are two formats which both work:
switch:
- platform: tuya
host: your_local_IP_address
local_key: yourKey
device_id: yourDevID
friendly_name: switchName
optimistic: 1 // I have no idea what is this for
id: 1
The following format would work too: I think this is for those tuya device which has multiple outlet/swtich in one device:
switch:
- platform: tuya
host: yourLoacalIP
device_id: deviceID
local_key: localKey
switches:
switch1:
friendly_name: nightLight
id: 1
That is it.
Good luck

Hello
I’m trying to get the tuya switch working. I followed the directions of the first few posts at top,
I’m running 0.49.1 ver not sure if I can have the custom_components folder on my setup,
If I can is there anything different I have to do for my setup. As HA will fails to load.
follow my instruction. it is relatively completely other than the part about getting the device ID and local key.
Hey Everybody,
First of: A big thank you to all those contributing to this platform that I just discovered yesterday. I have a small issue with the Tuya switches (I use a version from Smart Life). I am using a pre-loaded component in Hassio. I see the switches in my Home Assistant and I can toggle them. The proper switch will change state. However, as soon as it does, the slider in Home Assistant automatically slides back to the previous state. After this the switch no longer responds to HA. It does however still react to Google Assistant and/or the Smart Life app.
Any hints on how to fix this behaviour?
Thanks in advance and all the best!
Update: I have removed these switches from every app (smart life, google home) so only Hass.io has the interface. This does seem to improve behaviour. However it remains unpredictable. Sometimes the switches don’t react and then as soon as I restart Hass.io all commands that hadn’t been executed up to that point are fired in rapid succesion…
Hi,
I was able to access all my Jinvoo Smart plugs by following this guide and adding optional platform as ‘jinvoo_smart’.
hi there!
im new to HA. Therefor i struggle a lot.
I have a tuya switchan i set it up as “kngharv” told.
In my configuration.yaml under “switch:” i have following
- platform: tuya
host: 192.168.178.xxx
local_key: f3a83578e8931xxx
device_id: 01530667b4e62d517xxx
switches:
switch1:
friendly_name: schalter
id: 1
BUT on HASSIO Webinterface there ist no switch visible. What can I do to switch on and off my device from webinterface.
Sorry for my horrible englisch 
I was able to use my tuya power strip via the cloud service but I’d like to keep things local. I was able to grab my local_key and device_id but it looks like HA no longer supports local connectivity. I’m on 0.83.2 and with the following switch settings:
- platform: tuya
name: powerstrip
host: 192.168.1.239
local_key: 6555asdfasdff02
device_id: 02200145asdfasdfasdf
switches:
switch1:
friendly_name: 'powersocket 1'
id: 1
switch2:
friendly_name: 'powersocket 2'
id: 2
switch3:
friendly_name: 'powersocket 3'
id: 3
switch4:
friendly_name: 'powersocket 4'
id: 4
I get the following error:
2018-12-01 23:33:41 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.setup] Error during setup of component tuya

I’ve found another one, but this isn’t working:

Can some publish a working version?
Hi all
I’ve just added my first Tuya (Smart Life) in HA.
The switch is a smart plug Houzetek AWP07L
It also measures power consumption that I can see in the Smart Life app.
Is there a way to get it also in HA?
BTW, I haven’t used the custom components, but only the integrated configuration
Thanks

This is my config for Tuya:
tuya:
username: !secret tuya_user
password: !secret tuya_pass
country_code: 31
platform: tuya
I also added two switches, used the pull_devices and force_update procedures. I get no error messages, but I also see no sign of tuya or any switches in my dashboard. What could be causing this?
My experience with Tuya/Smart-life is the “tuya:” configuration does indeed work but only for switches, outlets and light bulbs. Also, the power monitoring does not report to HA.
These are (switchable) outlets; as described I haven’t got anything to work concerning Tuya yet. Minutes ago, I changed platform value to another value and that produced an error message. So, it is being loaded; it just refuses to pick up on my devices.
Tuya works for my cover fine for me.
But sometimes when i restart HA the following error message and the device is not found:
I restart HA then again and then the device works fine.
Has anyone the same issue?
(see below=)
