[@zdenekchmelar3287]

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)

[@tp-project]

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.

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 :/

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.

[@charles9860]

[@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.

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.

Is local tuya free. Now Tuya has started a subscription for Tuya developer projects.

Has anyone used local tuya to integrate wall dimmer switches? This video adds a basic binary sensor for smart switches which works well enough. I just have a bigger need for wall switches with dimming enabled.

Thanks for the video again! I've managed to get all the way until I'm installing Tuyalocal HACS integration. When I put in the details it fails to install. I used to have the HA - Tuya cloud integration. Do I need to disable that first or is it possible to have both running at the same time for the same device? Any thoughts anyone?

I had the same, rebooted the HA, tried again and it worked...

[@pratahsinnetamby]

@@TexSweden many thanks. I got it working and don't recall how anymore! I suspect I may have rebooted HA.

Reboot FTW

So...To create a new project with Tuya you need to be "verified" by Tuya 1) logged into tuya website 2) added cellphone # to account settings 3) found Clinet ID number in Tuya app Account settings (called Client ID) 4) went to website and clicked "verify" in settings 5) entered my phone number / name / ID number 6-10) failed over and over and over again
