I do seem to be struggling with it. Though I think that's my specific tuya device, which is a thermostat that has never wanted to play nice.

#

Could you describe your issues with it before I go ploughing on with things ๐Ÿ™‚

Cannot add temp/humidity sensors that works with Tuya integration. Cannot configure smart Socket gosund because there's so many options to choose.

Ah, yes. I'm going to have to experiment with it further later. My one seems to suggest it can see data that the official one can't. For instance, the thermostat through the official integration for the underfloor heating I stuck in my garden shed office tells me the mode and the target temperature, but can't see the current temperature.
This local version has a random option that shows the current temperature, which gives me hope, but I'm baffled by half the field names for the other stuff and even after completing all fields, it then just says the device is unavailable. Most confusing.

#

Curiously, the tuya dashboard I discovered has device debugging, which shows the thermostat doesn't have fields for the current temperature, but it does have log outputs for both of its sensors. So how tuyalocal spotted any of such information I'm not sure.

I have a gosund socket with localtuya that was super simple to set up ๐Ÿค”

3 isn't that many lol

How do I know what to choose?

sturdy inlet
#

there are lots of values but they probably make sense if you look at what they actually are

#

could you maybe get a screenshot of the list of DPs?

untold spear
#

It's 12 for one field. And there's 4 fields to aetup

sturdy inlet
#

yeah but only two or three of them are important usually

I cannot add screenshot here

I like imgur

this discord doesn't allow image upload except in a few channels iirc

#

imgur is a free image hosting site

that works

#

ok now

#

go completely out of that dialog

#

turn the plug on manually (through tuya app or switch, idk which it has)

#

and then go back to see which DP changed

untold spear
#

Ohh, my wife now use dryer

#

Ok. I add now first time again that socket. First I have to add entity. Do I have to add 2 entities: sensor.washer and sensor.dryer and then 2x switch: switch.washer and switch.dryer?

sturdy inlet
#

yeah probably

#

the idea behind toggling it and opening the dialog again is to see what's changing

#

my guess is it is either 2 or 9, but worst case is you get an entity with the wrong value and you try again
