Tuya plugin PYTUYA no longer working
Posted: Tuesday 24 February 2026 15:20
Hi all,
I am using for years "pytuya" pluging to get access to TUYA device on local network on my Raspberry PI 3 running Domoticz 2022.1 version under "Buster" OS
I have now decided to install the last version of Domoticz 2025.2 on a new Raspberry PI5 running "Trixie"
Domoticz is running fine but I am no longer able to install the plugin "pytuya" on this OS. I have uses VENV on this install but even with this configuration I am not able to install it
I have the following message
As far as I can understand it cannot found module "Crypo" and "pyaes", but if list the install modules they are present
On domotcz startup (/etc/init.d/domoticz.sh) I have added the VENV environment
Any advice for solving this issue ?
Thanks
Patrick
