Python Plugin: TUYA

[manjh]

OK, after a little patience, the lamp came in as WW! Success!
Now all I have to do is re-install the other lamps. Which is more work than you'd expect, since they disappear from all scenes when deleted....
Is there a way to reset without deleting them?

I just noticed this appearing again, about every second.

Where else should it be ?

The second tuyaha is not needed with my version of the plug-in. I was mislead with the naming of the directory. You are using the version of guino in that version is has limited control of RGB. Can you try my version of the plug[in. https://github.com/Xenomes/Domoticz-TUYA-Plugin.

Okay tried again with your script
Version 1.0.6 is installed.







He sees the rgb strip as a switch and there is no RGB control

I pushed a new update, remove faulty device => update plug-in => update button in Hardware at Tuya plug-in.

I don't ever seen it, try stop the plug-in, wait for minimal 61 seconds and start plug-in.

You can change the type/sub type directly in the database 1000% you own risk.

V.1.0.4

That is not the latest version ... Delete devices and update the plug-in, restart Domoticz and see the new detection.

Edit: Just push a new version
(⚠ RGBW(W) lights must be on a colour for correct detection ⚠)

OK, now getting version 6.
Deleted one lamp, disabled/enabled Tuya, now get this error in the log:

Code: Select all

Error: (Tuya devices) handleThread: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0) line 198

Also:

Code: Select all

Error: (Tuya devices) handleThread: login rate limited line 195

Try stop the plug-in, wait for minimal 61 seconds and start plug-in again.

Getting also the same error after updating your script, now in domoticz he sees the ledstrip as RGB

With Sudo command he said its already installed. So i tried to use the command pip3 install tuyaha. Tuya installed, maybe in the user account instead with admin account. In hardware tab update and after that it worked!!!!!. Finally!! Thank you so much!

Ah. Risky, but exciting... is there a recommended tool to do this?

Best is by hand, this is a bit off-topic, you have to install sqllite3.

OK, understand. I guess simply deleting and adding the lamps may be easier....

I do, but the mere job of having to install SQL just for this small thing seems a bit over the top.
I've now deleted and re-installed the lamps, this was very simple.
Reviewing all scene settings was a bit more work, but also got it done.
All lamps are now recognized as WW. Thanks for the support!

One additional thought, perhaps a suggestion for the user interface.
Setting the right color from the color wheel is nice, but it is difficult to get multiple lamps on the same color level.
For the dimmer it can be done by simply moving the slider until the percentage is close enough.
But for color there is no numerical reference>
Would it be possible to add an input field, so that the user can choose to either select from the color wheel, or enter a value in the input field?

[manjh]

Now that the lamps are working, I am thinking about the next step: getting rid of the Tuya cloud dependency.
I ran into Tasmota, that seems promising.
Also found a procedure for flashing:

Before I start playing around, possibly losing a perfectly good lamp, has anyone done this before? Any experience? Recommendations?

The colour wheel is default function of Domotixz, request for a input field you need be at the developer of Domoticz.

Tuya-Convert only works with bulbs with a esp chip and older firmware version. Lots of new devices firmware upload hack don't work any more. You can't convert back to the original firmware without open and destroy the bulb. If the bulb accepts the Tasmota firmware then a new world of opportunities opens.
