@alsothejiraguy 2 года назад

This is great news. Getting an odd error when I go to scan my app saying "You cannot scan the QR code to add a device deployed in another data center." I'm sure this is some misconfiguration on my Tuya Cloud project, but I cannot figure out which.

@MarkWattTech 2 года назад

Hey Rodney. For that error check the data center your project is registered to, and the data center the devices are on. Tuya made a change a few days back that changed how cross region development works. You can find info on the relationship info here : developer.tuya.com/en/docs/iot/oem-app-data-center-distributed?id=Kafi0ku9l07qb In short, make sure you are using the same data center for your project and where the devices are registered (you can check device region in the tuya/smartlife app). Hope that helps!

Watched your video first and then a second time following your lead. Other than a few changes to the Tuya Developer page, everything went well. Had some issues with the settings a for light. Using the yaml on the Github link for reference, I set: ID: 20, Brightness: 22, Color Temp: 23, Color Mode: 21, Color: 24, Scene: 25. Brightness values: 29/1000; Color Temps: 2700/6500 (though I'm not sure about the value and temp settings). Next up: setting up VLANs and restricting internet access.

watching this a couple of years later, could eventually link devices (once i linked the correct datacenter) and then took a while sifting through options until i found the one that gave a local key - site rearranged a lot sinceyour video, but the principle still worked ! Thanks.

@frankthedsigner558 2 года назад

Wow, did not expect this to be such a process. One would think that simply adding the Tuya API within Home Assistant would automatically store the devices locally. I've done a very simple process to store all my Sonoff devices locally and it works amazing! Hopefully Tuya can simplify this process in the future, for now I think I'll just stick with the cloud service. My Tuya devices are the only devices working via the cloud...

@MarkWattTech 2 года назад

Tuya are working on the v2 integration. It does have plans for local control but its not currently part of it. It also supports way more devices :) Hopefully they do add it in the future and its a simple process.

@dplawrance 2 года назад

Thanks, Mark. Apparently, something in the Tuya integration or server changed such that toggling a switch was no longer working. But, it works fine through Local Tuya. I would not have have had a clue how to set that up without your video.

@MarkWattTech 2 года назад

@geoffreycoan 11 месяцев назад

Thanks Mark, a clear and understandable video, even with the Tuya developer portal changing quite a lot. Tuya local now doesn’t require you to find the local_id for a device, it automatically pulls it in when you add a new device to the integration in HA. On balance have decided to not use Tuya local and remain with the core Tuya integration. Whilst I was able to get my Tuya shed alarm system working as a ‘select’ entity (armed, disarmed, sos, etc), the UI of the Tuya core integration is better; and when I try to add my Tuya Temperature and Humidity sensors to Tuya Local, I just get an “unknown error see log” - maybe not supported even though its just numeric output. Hey ho!

@fred7flinstone 2 года назад

Awesome, that is a great help. Had real problems trying to find my local key. Had to get around the new menus and such but found it in the end. Thanks.

@LigerXT5 2 года назад

Where did you find them? I didn't have to sign up for an API, which was strange until I noticed the OCT 15 popup a second viewing of the My Services. After running the debug, I don't see anything about a Local Key. Still poking around. NVM, just found it less than 5 mins commenting here. Once you are in the API Explorer, expand the General Devices Management, and click on Get Device Information. Enter the ID, and away you go.

@gverran 3 года назад

Hi Mark, thanks so much for your very easy and simple step-by-step (and troubleshooting video) on getting Local Tuya to work. Now I am finally free of the overlords that control my Tuya GU10 bulbs as I am not able to flash them with Tasmota using TuyaConvert (firmware has the exploit fixed). I was able to get my 4 GU10 light bulbs and smart plug into HA using Local Tuya. Yay! The only thing is that my smart plug has power monitoring as well. However, when you want to set up the various additional sensors, the "IDs" that come up which I would represent the different data points and not clear as to what they mean in terms of current, voltage, etc, etc. Thankfully I don't need the power monitoring features at present, but I might need them later. All one sees is 2 (value 0), 4 (value 0), 5, 6 and 7 with no indication as to what they represent. Any ideas on where I can find this information?

@MarkWattTech 3 года назад

Hey Glen. Glad the tutorials helped you out :) The DP documentation is pretty loose. Ive had to manually play around with some of my devices to figure out what they are / what they control. I did this by setting unknown dp values to just sensor entities. Then I modified the device with the Tuya/Smart Life app to see what changed (e.g setting a specific mode, toggling a set option). There are a few basic templates on the Local Tuya GitHub though. Cheers

@gverran 3 года назад

@@MarkWattTech Thanks very much. I used those templates in figuring out the values for the lights, but smart plugs were not well covered at all. Good idea - I’ll create sensors and figure them out that way.

This is awesome - one step closer to brining things all internal and not requiring outside cloud services! One thing I'm struggling with is the adding of the entities and all the different settings and what should go in there! May be missing something on the github page but just can't find what they should be set to!

@MarkWattTech 3 года назад

Hey Ian. It is a little fiddly setting up the entities and is often more of a case of just trial and error. I do plan to go over adding entities in Local Tuya in a future video. What type of device are you trying to add? One thing you can do to try and figure out what the entities are is to just set them as sensors. Then if you use the Tuya/SmartLife app to control the device and change its status (turn it on, press a button etc.) you will see that sensor change and know what it is. Entities that's sensor state is true or false are obviously some kind of switch. In the Local Tuya Entities video I will show how to figure entities out, and how I added an unsupported Robot Vac and an unsupported diffuser. No ETA yet though sorry. Feel free to share a post via my FB Group and I will try my best to help you out. (Link in description) Cheers.

@d_sellers1 3 года назад

I initially had issues getting a light to work. (I actually ended up randomly guessing the settings and it worked!) I was able to confirm my settings by visiting the Github link and looking at the configuration.yaml example. (I did not add it to my yaml.) Using the yaml for reference, I set - Brightness:22, Color Temp: 23, Color Mode: 21, Color: 24, Scene:25. Brightness values: 29/1000; Color Temp: 2700/6500 (though I'm not sure about the value and temp settings). Hope this is helpful.

What if we want to add a new device : do we have to connect it in Tuya cloud and then transfer it to Tuya local or is there a way to get it connected directly to Local Tuya ? Maybe it can be covered in you new video... Thanks !

@@MarkWattTech Hi Mark, just an update on what I have discovered lately. In Australia and New Zealand one of the local stores sells their own branded TUYA devices (Arlec and Deta), these also run a rebranded TUYA app called Grid Connect. When I set up LocalTUYA I decided to set up a new Arlec device in the TUYA app instead of Grid Connect, which does work and I was able to get it connected on LocalTUYA. I then thought I would need to move my old devices from Grid Connect to TUYA, but this was not the case, I could add Grid Connect as an app in the TUYA API.

Great video again and I got to the point of being able to add my RGB bulbs and have them work as white only :-( I had the same issue with the cloud Tuya integration but fixed that with an override on the customize.yaml to set the # of available functions to 63 - they are now working as expected via cloud. BUT - when I do the same with local it rejects the config as invalid. My assumption is that it's down to my selection of "DPs" (whatever they are) when adding the bulbs. I've tried as many combinations as I can bear but I still never get the colour picker displayed at all. Sooo unless I can find a solution I will have to stick with cloud. I did look on the tuya local GIT and found a utility which should dump all the available DPs from a device but that fails to execute because (I think) python can't load cryptography. Kind of stymied for now...

Not sure is this was already the case at the time this video was made, but it is already possible to make some local tuya automations that work without access to internet just purely in the Tuya Smart app, from what I could gather this works specially with Zigbee devices and automations that do not require access to online elements such as the time of day. It's still limited but better than nothing.

@MarkWattTech 2 года назад

Heya. Its a little confusing as it's a hybrid (as you need cloud connection to get local keys). If you block the devices connection on your network fully, it will work locally. But if it falls of the network or loses connection, you will need to set it up again fully (full add via Tuya etc). If you do remove it from Tuya, make sure it is first fully blocked from external access.

@tempdemp1622 3 года назад

Appreciate the video. Tuya only shows one entity for a device : the device state ON/OFF . Is it possible to get other entities if attached to the device like RSSI ..??

Great video, thank you! In API Explorer "Get Device Details" changed to "Query Device Details". (Tuya IOT Platform looks a little bit different too :( , but it is not your fault)

UPDATE - April 20th 2021 It looks like a few days after this post Tuya changed the options again. You should be able to follow this guide okay. But for anyone struggling, I have created another video detailing an alternate method for extracting the keys. Cheers UPDATE - March 25th 2021 As of today it looks like Tuya have updated the way there Dev accounts work. So it may be harder to link devices via an app. Another reason your devices are at the mercy of the cloud gods! I WILL BE CREATING A NEW VIDEO : on another method that doesn’t require the dev account. There's a few more steps involved but it wont require the Tuya Developer account and it will give you all your keys at once. Stay tuned 👀 NEW VIDEO SHOWING ALTERNATE METHOD - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YKvGYXw-_cE.html Update from Tuya here : developer.tuya.com/en/docs/iot/open-api/user-guide/managing-devices/link-devices?id=Ka471nu1sfmkl ================================================================= PRIOR TO THE UPDATE - PRE March 25th (If you already setup a dev account) If your stuck or having any issues with this setup, I've also created a supporting video which goes over a couple of issues I had and the fixes. It may help you out. Also to note, the Tuya Dev website seems a little janky at the minute! You can catch that supporting video here : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-t2S2KLtDj7I.html

Mark - you put together some great tutorials. Just finished watching each of your local tuya, key extraction videos. Seems like the various techniques are no longer available? Any recommendations, or video in the works on how to get the keys?

@MarkWattTech Год назад

Heya :) you can still use the web to get the local keys. The site layout is now just a little different. Tuya constantly keep moving bits so it’s hard to keep up with videos

@Talk2Giuseppe Год назад

@@MarkWattTech - Thanks for that! You're right, the keys can now be found under "General Device Capabilities | General Devices Management | Get Device Information" off the Tuya Developers site.

Hello mate. All good now and I can see all the discovered Tuya devices on my Lan, thank you very much for your great and detailed videos. Just more question(s) please, when configuring the discovered devices, I see that there is a value for the device IP address that I have to enter in the Host box, what will happen in the case of the device getting a different IP address from my DHCP, will it fail then? and if so, do I need to reserve a fixed IP address for each device? and if I have to do so, how can I get the MAC address for each device? Thank you very much mate you have a been a great help and I can tell you that I watched 3 other guys talking about the same thing, Local Tuya, and I only managed to understand it from your videos. Have a great day

@Thomgrsbk 2 года назад

Hi Mark, thanks for the helpfull tutorial. Menu's and API's have changed, but i got it to work. After the devices were setup in HA, i tried to remove them them from the Tuya smart app, to remove all connections with te cloud. Buy then the devices stopped working. So i guess you have to keep the Tuya smart app intact? Does this mean that all commands are send locally but the state of de device will remain visible in the Tuya smart app, and so in the cloud?

Very calm and clear tutorial, I followed it step by step, just like extracting local key video. Everything went oke. Still the devices are not available in Home assistant, they show up but keep unavailable. Do I miss a step? Do I have to remove de Tuya integration? From what I see you have your tuya integration still running or did you disable al entities before you started?

@MarkWattTech 2 года назад

Heya :) Did you manage to resolve this? You can have both installed but they can cause each other to go out of sync.

@@MarkWattTech thanks for asking. No unfortunately not yet. I got a step closer recently with 1 smart plug so I thought I solved it but the next smartplug did not work (the input_boolean kept getting switched of somehow) and trying to reinstall it gave an error (because the id already existed). I ended up restoring a back-up and gave up for now (other priorities), especially because I saw there is now support for the motion sensor in local tuya yet and that is the most important item I want quicker response time from.

@PL-VA 3 года назад

Well - it seems you still have a dependency on the cloud here? Last time I checked out Tuya I got bad flashbacks to ifttt and lock-in fever and your jumps through hoops and it seems the cloud control option, or cloud trust option to be honest, that you talk about here is still an issue as this cloud solution has full access to your devices. But I appreciate seeing how you setup devices to at least keep working if your internet is out ....

@garysteo3398 3 года назад

like the video, question I have two wifi networks and what I am seeing is if the device is configured in SmartLife app under SSID 1 and my home assistant is on SSID 2 it does not see the device when you go to configure it. Is this the way it works or am I doing something wrong. I can reconfigure the device in SmartLife app but was just wondering why tks keep up the informative videos

@MarkWattTech 3 года назад

I think the Tuya device sees them as “different networks” which is why it doesn’t show up. Also make sure the device is in the supported list. Thank you! Plenty more to come :)

@jamiefl Год назад

Mark, I have a few quick questions. What happens when a device is added to Local Toya? Does it dissappear from the device list on the Toya account? If additional devices are added in the home, how are THEY added to Local Toya. Your tutorials are among the easiest to follow. Thank you. But, this one has so many steps to follow, it is still difficult.

@MarkWattTech Год назад

Hey Jamie. If you add it to local tuya it still stays in the tuya list (you can still use the tuya/smartlife app). If you can use both at the same time, but they can cause some strange oddities and sync issues. Unfortunately every device has to be manually added. Tuya still doesn’t have a great local option and it seems they have turned there back on what they have said about implementing a local solution.

@fredrikpalsson3169 3 года назад

Loving the video's they are much needed!! . I don't know if anyone has had this problem but I am missing a few devices from the Tuya IoT platform and the Tuya Extractor. From HA the Local Tuya has 2 Device ID's that don't exist anywhere else when crossed referenced. The missing device all work from with in Bluestacks and my phone. Any ideas?

@MarkWattTech 2 года назад

Some devices just aren't supported by the Tuya or Local Tuya integration. You would be best to check the device ID's against the Tuya API to see what they actually are. The new Tuya v2 integration supports way more devices and plans to offer local control at a future date.

Hey :) I don't think the tuya integration works with video/camera at the moment (I could be wrong). I dont have any Tuya cameras to test with though. I dont think they are listed in supported devices either. With your cameras are you just trying to add them into HA? Do they have RTSP feeds? you could just link them in HA with those feeds. Cheers.

Hi there. Another great video, very helpful as i am brand new to HA. One quick question, Once you have put the smart device (switch etc) on your local Tuya, is it totally off the Tuya cloud or is it on both instances to use ? TIA

@MarkWattTech 2 года назад

Once you put it in local tuya it is kind of in a hybrid state. You can communicate locally with it, but the cloud connection is needed to get the local key. You will also need to block the network access for the device. I would recommend only using one integration as they can make each other go out of sync and mess with your automations. Both instances can control the devices.
