Python Plugin: TUYA

[Xenomes]

{"payload":{"devices":[],"scenes":[]},"header":{"code":"SUCCESS","payloadVersion":1}}

The devices string of the api is empty so there is noting for the plug-in to detect. Tuya is developing a new api tuya-iot-python-sdk maybe there is a programmer that will create a Tuya plug-in around it. I only have one Tuya device left to phase out then I have only Zigbee and Tasmota converted devices.

Its posible flash with tasmota this device?

I don't know if I'm good on this topic?
but I have the following question:
I bought a Tuya Zigbee gateway and connected it to Domoticz via the plugin (Tuya Cloud).
(https://github.com/guino/tuyaha) followed all instructions and it seems to work....
however when starting Domoticz I get the following message:

2021-09-12 10:08:01.535 Tuya: (Tuya) Device count: 0

And so no devices were found, anyone have an idea?

The plug-in is working with the first version of the Tuya API, this version does not work with the Zigbee gateway.

Thanks for your comment!
Are there multiple versions?
And where can I find the right one?

Also a guestion, do I need gateway to make this work?

If you used this Tuya plugin https://github.com/Xenomes/Domoticz-TUYA-Plugin (there are others) you need to install the python module "requests" too.

I did nopt use this plugin. But now I have tried this plugin that you linked me, and installed requests with command promt pr installation guide.

And now i get this error:

Could it be that my Tuya devices are not compatible with this plugin?

The Tuyaha module is missing, you need to install it see https://github.com/Xenomes/Domoticz-TUY ... stallation

That one is unknown, some devices work with the old api some don't.

There is install guide for Linux. But I am using windows. WHat and how do I copy paste the files in to plugin directory?

You don't need to put something in the plug-in directory install pip for python in your windows. https://phoenixnap.com/kb/install-pip-windows then install the modules with the pip install command.

Thank you guys, I have managed to make it work.I am a noob so I did not know about pip. I had to download TUYA plugin, put it in directory and pip install it from directory. I was not able to install it from github.

Any plugins for door sensors and or temperatur sensor?

[manjh]

I am using TUYA Plugin v.1.0.6, this has worked flawless for several months. But suddenly I have weird problems: lamps no longer react, and the log show strange messages:

Code: Select all

2021-10-03 22:24:53.155 (Tuya_devices) onHeartbeat called time=1633292693.1554873
2021-10-03 22:24:53.157 (Tuya_devices) in handlethread
2021-10-03 22:24:53.312 Error: (Tuya_devices) handleThread: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0) line 198

When I try to enable and disable the plugin, it freezes Domoticz. Have to go into the Pi thru Putty, stop/start Domoticz to resolve. Also strange: Domoticz restart does not work, it has to be stop/start!

Any clues?

edit: the weird part is that Domoticz was doing OK when switching the devices on earlier this evening. The problem developed during the evening!
The Tuya Smart app that I used to pair the lamps does work, although it takes several seconds before I can see the status of the lamps.
Could there be a problem in the Tuya server somehow?

[EdwinK]

I just read that there was some problems with the Tuya servers.

Ah, that's a relief. I thought I was going crazy..

Where did you read that? Is there a way to get a status update> Would be great to know when the problem is fixed!

[manjh]

Looks like the Tuya people fixed the problem. This morning the app worked again, although I had to change the password. After changing it in Domoticz as well, everything was OK.

Given server outage yesterday it highlight fragility of using the cloud

It looks like there is a new HA Tuya v2 API that may be a replacement for the python module that this plugin utilises?

https://peyanski.com/home-assistant-tuy ... -official/

It looks like it is more reliable, more features and will soon have built in local control

Will this plugin migrate to using this backend?

[Xenomes]

I won't be creating a new plug-in with the new Tuya_V2 API and DomoticzEX, I phased out Tuya devices in my environment.

[manjh]

I fully agree, and I wouldgreatly appreciate a plugin that controls the Tuya devices locally, so without involving a cloud server. I know about flashing deices with Tasmota, but also read about the ongoing battle between Tuya-convert and Tuya (trying to prohibit flashing their devices).
So until there is a simple way to achieve this, I will stick to the current Tuya plugin.

I noticed a post from the author of the plugin (Xenomes) that the Tuya devices have been phased out of his house... so I guess we will have to live current version....
