Brilliant video - wanting to do this but never knew how. Flashing a hundred devices was never going to happen. Looks like a job for the week-end and it is likely to need heaps of work on the scripts/automations. Many thanks.
Just set up Local Tuya yesterday. It works so much better than the Tuya integration. Couldn't control my rgb bulbs or my fan controls from the tuya integration. With local tuya I can control the rgb bulbs with effects that weren't normally there and all my fans work with the exception when I switch to high my fan turns off. Gotta dig back through the options and figure that out. In my opinion, if you're scared to flash a device then Local Tuya is where it's at. I will be attempting my first wired firmware flash with tasmota this weekend on some treatlife single pull switches. I also have two of them running with Local Tuya so I'll be able to compare.
For anyone trying to figure out which IDs to use in the final setup steps, I found for my cheap Tuya Round white plugs the Power Monitoring IDs to use are Current = 18 Current Consumption = 19 Voltage = 20
@@sethkazzim731 no just those two outputs, you would need to log the overall usage somewhere. I know the app keeps track but the plug does not keep a record itself
What about this massage : Connection to device succeeded but no datapoints found, please try again. Create a new issue and include debug logs if problem persists.
Hi, thank you for your video. What do I get with Lucal Tuya? because I can't remove it from the SmartLife app, if do, it's turned off in HA, and if I don't have Internet access I can operate directly, this is, I can turn the lights on and off by pressing the switch directly.
Unfortunately I can`t really not use Tuya Cloud, aka remove devices internet access and remove them from the cloud. Works for a couple of days but the devices go to a zombie mode. LocalTuya does not fix this, even trying the DP refresh thing (some times the device revive, but some don't). So LocalTuya in the end is not really local, at least using 4.0.
I am doing the mentioned steps for 3 energy meter switches (SP111 and DDS238-2 WIFI) and in results for each only 1 switch and entity are added so I have only the ability to turn on/off the device but no energy consumption information. Something is wrong here... I've repeated all of the steps a couple times with same result also after removing integration.... :( Any tips ?
Opened a developer account but then they ask to verify my identity and open a ticket when I start a project from the cloud icon... looks as if GOC has introduced controls...
Your videos are good, but this information is already horribly outdated. There does not seem to be an accurate description of how to obtain the product key at this time in any video I’ve found.
I'm sorry it's outdated, but it was made 9 months ago - I'm not currently using local tuya so havent tried since this video so can't comment I'm afraid
By adding this local tuya integration,. If I physically push button and turn on/off device then can it shows on/off state perfectly in home assistance?
Hi, is there any way to integrate tuya devices so they can be controlled via a xiaomi hub? I have my xiaomi system with light level sensor and want to trigger my tuya smart wifi breaker which sits on my LAN, but I can’t find a way to set up conditional logic to switch the tuya based on the lux level measured by the xiaomi sensor. The xiaomi hub integrates with Apple HomeKit, but the tuya doesn’t. Both can be added to Google home, but it lacks the ability to set a rule to trigger one from the other. I have no home assistant, so just need an app which will work. I looked at Yeti app but it seems to be withdrawn.

Ok thanks I have it working , those extra fields are for smart sockets with power measurement and you can break them out by creating more entities from 1 device.So my question is ,I have window contacts (and motion detectors)with no local IP address, I have the local ID but what would the host be? I have scanned using AngryIP but they do not show. What I like about this solution is that everything (automation) is still visible and working in the Tuya App whereas when zigbee devices are moved to HA the Tuya connection is lost.
Welcome to the bleeding edge: I remember doing things digital like local NAS and movies versus DVD when Netflix was still DVD only. In 10 years your compliant will be as easy and ubiquitous as many major technology shifts took to be commonplace as a cell phone with our home electronics/smart home integration. Kudos for being here at the start, but nothing on the edge comes easy
I generally like your videos but I feel this one lacks a bit of research... the options you get when integrating a device are the pins for each of the functionalities, in your example, your switch was off at the moment of integrating it, hence the False and the value was coming out of pin 1. Your particular switch didn’t have power monitoring so there are no extra pins where to get the current and consumption from (which are the extra 3 drop downs). Also, the last step is not to add an extra device but to create a new entity from the same device. For instance, a separate sensor for the voltage (although this can also be done with a template in HA).
Thanks for that info Jorge, When I try to add a consumption switch I can figure which value I should choose for current voltage etc.. What I can't figure out is what I choose for the ID of the entity.. I can't understand which value form the drop down should I choose...
@@amilevin8610 In the ID goes the main source of information. In your case I guess it would be pin 1 (True/False) which controls the On/Off status. If you were to add more sensors from the same switch, voltage for instance, for that new sensor the ID would be the pin that gives the voltage. Hope it makes sense.
@@amilevin8610 -- why would have the act of a relay be more difficult: Genuinely asking. Just seems like you could create conditions for most any scenario for an oil diffusers such as on/off/runtime. Just curious
Is anyone using this integration with bulbs that are also controlled by the Adaptive Lighting integration? I tried this some months back, but the bulbs seemed to never report their state back correctly, so adapting was inconsistent.
Did they change their website? I do not see the API groups section but I see a API products where I can subscribe to an api. However when I try that I get an error "product has been removed"
I finally got it working. It looks like the tuya website changed a little bit: - go to api products (instead of api group) and subscribe to Smart Home Devices Management - go again to api products > Smart Home Devices Management and select the tap "project" - click on "new authorization" to connect your project to the api - install the chrome extension and turn it on
@@nickelbers THANK YOU! I think the site wasn't working right when I tried these steps yesterday, but I tried again after seeing your message and got it to work.
Hi, I am having troubles to get JSON response similar to yours. It only returns mac, uuid and id, plus some more, but definitely not the keys, etc. Any hint where did I go wrong?
Sorry I am new on this. What is the url for the website shown in 3:33? I have a Smart Life account and app but dont know how and where those data are stored in the Tuya cloud.
I have problem in step : Add Tuya device. when i press submit, there is the following message : "Connection to device succeeded but no datapoints found, please try again. Create a new issue and include debug logs if problem persists." Please help me, i'm using IR and RF - Infrared Device Control Center, I have set up to control the device successfully but don't add to HASS.
Absolutely ideal, but I am guessing that Tuya have changed their UI since this video as from about 8:30 their interface does not resemble the one you are showing - so, sadly, couldn't follow it any further.
Wtf! There's no projects option under cloud like in video. There is a creative cloud project option but you must select a "data center" when you try to scan the qr code you get an error that you cant link data center accounts..I'm going nuts with this runaround on their website
After integration , you have only one entity (On/Off)... how to get the other entities for the device (brightness,color etc...) ????????????? (thanks for your answer)
This is now outdated and does not work so straight forward. Tuya has changed their IoT site and now requires the devices to be added directly to a new the development app, (on iOS only available on TestFlight) , rather than scanning the QRCode from within the Tuya/Smart Life app. To make it work you have to pair every device to this new app which disables it from the Tuya/Smart Life app, and that is annoying.
These days I am facing issues with Tuya cloud every 2-3 months they say subscribe and pay this amount to continue using Tuya cloud, as such in every 3 months, I have to setup a new tuya cloud account and do the entire setup in home assistant again, which is very frustrating So my question is - After connecting using local tuya, even if free tier on tuya cloud ends it would not affect local tuya integration Am I right ?
Unfortunately, this solution does not remove the cloud dependency. After registering the device via Local Tuya in HA, I tried to remove it from Smart Life app which also deactivated device in HA. When I did the device registration again (via Smart Life), device received new Device ID as well as new Local Key which were different from the old ones. New registration in HA was needed after that. Means, the device is cloud dependend and can't be isolated to local HA only (or at least I didn't find a way how to make it really just and only local device)
This is correct, however it does continue to work if you pull the internet and it does work a bit faster. I took all my Tuya lights back to the store though and replaced them with Zigbee. I was tired of certain devices losing connectivity with localtuya (despite still working with normal Tuya integration) and it's a pain in the ass to reconfigure them all the time.
@@milandzuris i got it working with this guide github.com/codetheweb/tuyapi/blob/master/docs/SETUP.md Listing Tuya devices from the Tuya Smart or Smart Life apps (highly recommended) but the API Explorer did not give me any data
No. From the way it was explained it will just renew for another year. This is because the new Tuya integration needs the user to have access. It is explained here... - > th-cam.com/video/f8-7Hvrmh3Y/w-d-xo.html
Following this video, just 3 weeks after it was posted, I make it to the point where the return result from requesting Device Details says "You don't have access to this API". Any suggestions?
Yes, the interface changes and you have to "Buy" the API for free. For your issue is simple, just need to provide your project the authorization. 1. Go to Cloud (icon) -> API Products -> Subscribed Products 2. Click Smart Home Devices Management api 3. Click the Project tab 4. Click add new authorization and then select your project name
brilliant! I didn't know there was local control of tuya devices - BTW the iot website requires you to file a support ticket to be able to access / create any cloud projects - you need to certify that you are you :-\ typical chinese overlords...
I can't agree with you that the process described is easier than Tuya convert and tasmota. it seems to be a heap of messing about, and after all that you still can't use the device in Node RED... Good video though. Thanks for publishing it.
Also as far as the options to choose from when configuring the device, I just used the yaml config example to get the number values. It seemed to work well for lights and switches but for the fans I had to play around a bit
Thx for the great instructions video! However, I noticed my Gosund EP2 (V1.0.4) Smart-Plugs won't update their power/current/voltage values when I prevent them from connecting to the cloud. I can still connect to them with local tuya and switch them on/off, but the power/current/voltage values they report get static as soon as I disable the cloud (block internet access via my router) and stay zero when I power-cycle the plug. As soon as I let them connect to the cloud again, the power/current/voltage values are available again. Anyone else noticed this? That's really a bummer :/
Local Tuya is almost perfect except the situation that after HA restart some devices randomly going into zombie state (for HA they are unavailable but from Tuya app everything is ok, the same devices are ok even in HA via stand Tuya integration). Anyone had the same issues?
I am having the same problem. Sensors that are not connected to power supply go to sleep mode and ping only when there is a change. and go back to sleep after some time. Did you solve it? what did you do?
hey Will, looks like the process for this has now changed quite a bit. Maybe time for an updated video? Thank you!

I generally like your videos but I feel this one lacks a bit of research... the options you get when integrating a device are the pins for each of the functionalities, in your example, your switch was off at the moment of integrating it, hence the False and the value was coming out of pin 1. Your particular switch didn’t have power monitoring so there are no extra pins where to get the current and consumption from (which are the extra 3 drop downs). Also, the last step is not to add an extra device but to create a new entity from the same device. For instance, a separate sensor for the voltage (although this can also be done with a template in HA).
Thank you for clearing that up :)
Thanks for that info Jorge, When I try to add a consumption switch I can figure which value I should choose for current voltage etc.. What I can't figure out is what I choose for the ID of the entity.. I can't understand which value form the drop down should I choose...
@@amilevin8610 In the ID goes the main source of information. In your case I guess it would be pin 1 (True/False) which controls the On/Off status.
If you were to add more sensors from the same switch, voltage for instance, for that new sensor the ID would be the pin that gives the voltage.
Hope it makes sense.
@@GeorgeBark thanks, yeah, I figured it out, it was the on/off. Later on I tried to do the same for a wifi oil diffuser but it was more complicated.
@@amilevin8610 -- why would have the act of a relay be more difficult: Genuinely asking. Just seems like you could create conditions for most any scenario for an oil diffusers such as on/off/runtime. Just curious
Is he being held hostage?
Lol
Is anyone using this integration with bulbs that are also controlled by the Adaptive Lighting integration? I tried this some months back, but the bulbs seemed to never report their state back correctly, so adapting was inconsistent.
Did they change their website? I do not see the API groups section but I see a API products where I can subscribe to an api. However when I try that I get an error "product has been removed"
I'm stuck at the same spot.
I'm stuck here too.
I finally got it working. It looks like the tuya website changed a little bit:
- go to api products (instead of api group) and subscribe to Smart Home Devices Management
- go again to api products > Smart Home Devices Management and select the tap "project"
- click on "new authorization" to connect your project to the api
- install the chrome extension and turn it on
@@nickelbers THANK YOU! I think the site wasn't working right when I tried these steps yesterday, but I tried again after seeing your message and got it to work.
@@nickelbers Many thanks, I should have read all comments, instead of after one hour and throwing my keyboard away 😂
Hi, I am having troubles to get JSON response similar to yours. It only returns mac, uuid and id, plus some more, but definitely not the keys, etc. Any hint where did I go wrong?
Could you do the same video with the new version of TUYA cloud?! it have been changed a lot
I didn't even know this (local tuya control) was possible. Great video!
Glad I could help!
@@WillSurridgeTech Could you help me out a little please? What's this HACS store? Is it depreciated? I don't see TuyaLocal on the addon store.
Sorry I am new on this. What is the url for the website shown in 3:33? I have a Smart Life account and app but dont know how and where those data are stored in the Tuya cloud.
Amogus
I have problem in step : Add Tuya device. when i press submit, there is the following message : "Connection to device succeeded but no datapoints found, please try again. Create a new issue and include debug logs if problem persists." Please help me, i'm using IR and RF - Infrared Device Control Center, I have set up to control the device successfully but don't add to HASS.
Absolutely ideal, but I am guessing that Tuya have changed their UI since this video as from about 8:30 their interface does not resemble the one you are showing - so, sadly, couldn't follow it any further.
Wtf! There's no projects option under cloud like in video. There is a creative cloud project option but you must select a "data center" when you try to scan the qr code you get an error that you cant link data center accounts..I'm going nuts with this runaround on their website
After integration , you have only one entity (On/Off)... how to get the other entities for the device (brightness,color etc...) ????????????? (thanks for your answer)
This is now outdated and does not work so straight forward. Tuya has changed their IoT site and now requires the devices to be added directly to a new the development app, (on iOS only available on TestFlight) , rather than scanning the QRCode from within the Tuya/Smart Life app. To make it work you have to pair every device to this new app which disables it from the Tuya/Smart Life app, and that is annoying.
Things must have changed, I have a Tuya IoT access and secret asked for as well as account and password in HA?
if you only want to control switches, then fair enough to use local Tuya - but local Tuya does not support a hell of a lot of devices (TRVs, etc)
These days I am facing issues with Tuya cloud every 2-3 months they say subscribe and pay this amount to continue using Tuya cloud, as such in every 3 months, I have to setup a new tuya cloud account and do the entire setup in home assistant again, which is very frustrating
So my question is - After connecting using local tuya, even if free tier on tuya cloud ends it would not affect local tuya integration
Am I right ?
do you have videos how to install home assistant software in the laptop or desktop
Using the dev portal is much easier than the way I was getting the keys before. Thanks Will
No worries :)
you talk too much bruh and that too with mostly outdated information. disappointing really
Unfortunately, this solution does not remove the cloud dependency. After registering the device via Local Tuya in HA, I tried to remove it from Smart Life app which also deactivated device in HA. When I did the device registration again (via Smart Life), device received new Device ID as well as new Local Key which were different from the old ones. New registration in HA was needed after that. Means, the device is cloud dependend and can't be isolated to local HA only (or at least I didn't find a way how to make it really just and only local device)
This is correct, however it does continue to work if you pull the internet and it does work a bit faster. I took all my Tuya lights back to the store though and replaced them with Zigbee. I was tired of certain devices losing connectivity with localtuya (despite still working with normal Tuya integration) and it's a pain in the ass to reconfigure them all the time.
Thanks!!! Will this work with Tuya cameras?
IR controller are not working in local tuya. Nor in cloud.
I dont have in entity confg. falue: False only True or value 0

Listing Tuya devices from the Tuya Smart or Smart Life apps (highly recommended)
but the API Explorer did not give me any data
yea doesn't work for me either.
The "try for free" only last 12 months, does that means that after a year I need to either pay or create another dev account?
No. From the way it was explained it will just renew for another year. This is because the new Tuya integration needs the user to have access. It is explained here... - > th-cam.com/video/f8-7Hvrmh3Y/w-d-xo.html
How will you do it for OPENHAB?
only i see API Explorer but not API Group
Following this video, just 3 weeks after it was posted, I make it to the point where the return result from requesting Device Details says "You don't have access to this API". Any suggestions?
Check Mark Watts video and his following fault finding video.
Yes, the interface changes and you have to "Buy" the API for free. For your issue is simple, just need to provide your project the authorization.
1. Go to Cloud (icon) -> API Products -> Subscribed Products
2. Click Smart Home Devices Management api
3. Click the Project tab
4. Click add new authorization and then select your project name
still works, perhaps you need to select US region when you sign up.
brilliant! I didn't know there was local control of tuya devices - BTW the iot website requires you to file a support ticket to be able to access / create any cloud projects - you need to certify that you are you :-\ typical chinese overlords...
Thanks for the info!
not quite "typical Chinese overlords" .... Facebook has a very similar process of Oculus Quest 2 dev projects.
I'd like to. If it only supported climate devices...
HVAC? Many do if that's what you mean
I can't agree with you that the process described is easier than Tuya convert and tasmota. it seems to be a heap of messing about, and after all that you still can't use the device in Node RED... Good video though. Thanks for publishing it.
Also as far as the options to choose from when configuring the device, I just used the yaml config example to get the number values. It seemed to work well for lights and switches but for the fans I had to play around a bit
Fair enough!
Can you please tell me what you did for the fans?

Thx for the great instructions video! However, I noticed my Gosund EP2 (V1.0.4) Smart-Plugs won't update their power/current/voltage values when I prevent them from connecting to the cloud. I can still connect to them with local tuya and switch them on/off, but the power/current/voltage values they report get static as soon as I disable the cloud (block internet access via my router) and stay zero when I power-cycle the plug. As soon as I let them connect to the cloud again, the power/current/voltage values are available again. Anyone else noticed this? That's really a bummer :/
Is local tuya free. Now Tuya has started a subscription for Tuya developer projects.
Local Tuya is almost perfect except the situation that after HA restart some devices randomly going into zombie state (for HA they are unavailable but from Tuya app everything is ok, the same devices are ok even in HA via stand Tuya integration). Anyone had the same issues?
I am having the same problem. Sensors that are not connected to power supply go to sleep mode and ping only when there is a change. and go back to sleep after some time. Did you solve it? what did you do?
@@АсылжанБазенова I found that these devices need to be blocked on the router to have no access to the world but I didn't try it yet.
Okay thanks. I will do that and come back with results. Will you try it too?
@@АсылжанБазенова At some point of time yes but now I have no time for it.
@@whiteravenagain okay, thank you very much
