DON'T use the Tuya Integration - get your devices off the cloud with Local Tuya

Looking at integrating tuya devices into Home Assistant. Using both the standard tuya integration, and the local tuya integration.
Local Tuya integration removes the need for internet access and cloud polling to control your devices, making it more secure, reliable, and fast.

[@oldcrazyeye6482]

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.

[@WillSurridgeTech]

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

[@bobdurk5180]

Hi Will, Can you update on the current status of your Local Tuya installation? Have you tried updating to v5.0 in Home Assistant?

[@braveskunk]

Generally I would prefer the local instance. I'm just little concerned about integrating all appliances using developer account(again cloud) which terms and conditions can change anytime. Also, statement that local tuya is more reliable seem incorrect to me. One of cloud key concepts is the reliability due to distributed processing. I can't see how single local instance of tuya, using single ISP and probably controller and power source to run it is more reliable. More controllable and traceable, sure. Faster, probably. Reliable with all those single points of failures not really to me. I'm using cloud at the moment but was thinking about getting some local instance running. Getting some home controller to which you could connect directly over internet would be nice.

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?

[@huguitosilva1]

Can you explain how to setup a switch in local tuya with Voltage, Amperage and Watts. And how to define 2 plugs in one switch?

[@jproveta]

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.

[@GeorgeBark]

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).

[@WillSurridgeTech]

Thank you for clearing that up :)

[@amilevin8610]

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...

[@GeorgeBark]

@@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]

@@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.

You've got more patience than I will ever have, well done. I've got a load of Tuya-like sockets/plug adaptors, the only down side with using HA is that it only gives me the on/off option, and not the power usage info that the phone app has. May be that just takes a little more work?

[@j.ballsdeep420]

They are not the same app but all devices should recognize on both (I personally have "Tuya" devices that that don't mention of SmartLife and fully functional). Smart Life has API tie with IFTTT, yes, but you would want to make a worlflow on their site to see what it can/can't do

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.

I have the same problem, did you get any where ?

[@paulbarrett2109]

I'm having the same problem

[@AnquetGuru]

For all my devices I get code: 1106, msg: permission deny. Any idea why? Could it be I only have free account. I was able to get required integration info from xml dump from smart life but this looks easier.

[@martynpriest7118]

I get the same issue @willsurridgetech any ideas please?

[@TwanJaarsveld1]

Can someone show me how to get RGB working ?

[@jonasdromberg4365]

and how do i get that key to local tuya when my 1 month has expired

[@charles9860]

Does it work on hoobs?

[@bernisworlds]

does this works also with thermostate? like HY312

[@lukejay]

I also want to know this

[@justinanderson8518]

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

[@brunonovais8801]

it not work very well. alot of devices will not respond to it. like you need a hub. but i cant find a compatible hub.

[@HoldMySoda]

I was able to connect my sockets and white bulbs this way. But I have no idea how to integrate my RGB bulbs.

[@j.ballsdeep420]

Lmao

[@Jcarlier50]

After integration, i get only one entity (ON/OFF)... Where are the other entities (brightness , color, ..)) ?? thanks

[@HeLiaCa]

any solution ? and with switch i get on/off i cant take current consumption - Voltage

[@TwanJaarsveld1]

6:26 i didn't get a response, what did i fuck up ?

[@DirkTas]

I did get a response but it just was {}

[@TwanJaarsveld1]

@@DirkTas same for me

[@ArthurEtchellsiv]

@@TwanJaarsveld1 Likewise. Hmmmm.

[@RolandGoudriaan]

add the plugin from the first comment...had the same issue after adding the addon.....works!

[@liminalnetworks7691]

Im getting after installing the plugin "msg": "permission deny",

[@wywlf6912]

if i moved tuya out from cloud can I still activate it using my cellular data?

[@j.ballsdeep420]

Yes. And it's therefore marginally less vulnerable

[@zam_ii]

Anyone know if can use this method for homebrige plugin tuya lan?

[@DeepakCG]

Yes, works for Homebridge or Hoobs

[@andreassylvan3478]

The main reason cheap devices are Tuya based is most likely the fact that the companies selling them don’t have the competence or money to develop and operate software and cloud services.

[@WillSurridgeTech]

Good point - just outsourcing all the effort!

[@j.ballsdeep420]

That's a rather positive way of looking at it

[@clevermusicbox3630]

I think a vascectomy is needed first. This looks like such a ballache that I would want mine cut off before even contemplating it.

[@TexSweden]

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...

[@WillSurridgeTech]

Thanks for the info!

[@jlant1588]

not quite "typical Chinese overlords" .... Facebook has a very similar process of Oculus Quest 2 dev projects.

[@milandzuris]

I dont have in entity confg. falue: False only True or value 0
