I’ve hit a practical wall with my Hubitat → Tuya Cloud integration project: Hubitat-Tuya-Cloud-Bridge.
The Hubitat app can authenticate successfully and obtain a Tuya token, so the credentials, endpoint and signing logic is working.
The failure happens after authentication, when trying to access Tuya devices or scenes. Tuya returns: No permissions. Your subscription to cloud development plan has expired.
The confusing part is that the project still shows several authorised services, including IoT Core and Smart Home Basic Service, while the scene-related service is marked as deprecated.
So the issue appears to be Tuya’s cloud entitlement model rather than the integration code itself. Has anyone found a practical workaround for this, other than creating a new Tuya account or a fresh Tuya project?
In the Tuya Developer Platform, the project has several services authorised, including IoT Core, Smart Home Basic Service, Data Dashboard Service and the now deprecated Smart Home Scene Linkage service.
This used to be a free service, but I cant see any way to reactivate it, even via a paid upgrade;
What I really like about the HA Tuya integration is that it requires no development account. You simply enter the code found in your Tuya app for your personal Tuya account settings and you are done.
As such, I use HA, the Tuya Integration, and HADB to bring my Tuya Iot Devices into Hubitat. I wish the Hubitat Tuya integration was based on personal accounts and the code like the HA integration, I don’t see why that isn’t doable.
IIRC, HA has 2 (well, at least 2, but 2 main ones ) versions of “local (wifi) tuya” solutions, and IIRC yet again, both are even named similarly…
But I thought one was now considered notably better than the other – for any future readers of this thread who may be interested in exploring an HA-integration option, can you please remind us all what that go-to local-tuya integration is (and perhaps which one(s) to avoid)?
I don’t know if it’s the “official” (non-official) go-to “LocalTuya”, but this is the one that works for me because my few remaining cloud Tuya devices go through a gateway and this is the only one that seems to pick them up correctly.
As far as I remember, between signing up years ago and a few months ago, the features required from Smart Home Scene Linkage were moved to IoT Core and/or Smart Home Basic Services and made free.
The setup for Tuya Cloud is definitely a pain in the I set it up years ago, and then had to make changes when reintegrating more recently. It was a huge balance between following directions EXACTLY, and ignoring the large bits that really were not necessary.
