[BETA] Tuya Cloud Driver (Limited device support)

[gabrielm]

Hi there! I am wondering if anyone has tried to make Tuya devices locally instead of through the cloud? There is a Home Assistant plugin that does this based on the TinyTuya project. The idea is that you setup an API dev account only initially to get the devices’ private keys. Once you have them, you can query the devices directly using that key to encrypt and decrypt the payloads. Neither one of those projects is written in java unfortunately…

Can we have tuya local like HA?

Its already been done to an extent with limited device support. It is a TON of work to maintain because Tuya has very lose standards so every new device that comes out may need tweaks. There are some example driver templates floating around that could be used to create device specific drivers for any device, just need to put in the work.

I have the tweaks in here to support DSP 20, 21 and 24. My strip does not have CT so that was not touched. You could use this as a drop in replacement driver or just pick pieces out if you want. It does either need to be used as a child of Johnathan's cloud driver, or if you use it standalone you have to copy some of the data values over using a third party app for it to work. I do have it fixed to send the HSV only instead of the RGB+HSV, along with a couple bug fixes I found and some other adj…

hello all, got an alert from tuya that I was generating a ton of API calls, 85% of them to GET:/v1.0/devices/{deviceId}/specifications

I looked at the device source and didn't even see where this was called, but it seems to be generating 1000s per day according to them, any advice on how to troubleshoot would be great, thanks
