crude bobcat did you set up an account on iot.tuya.com?

I have but I don't see where or what to do from there . Thanks for replying I can see it is an old thread

#

do you see your registered devices in there?

sick mural Jan 9, 2022, 1:28 AM

#

If I go to "https://developer.tuya.com/en/docs/cloud/device-management?id=K9g6rfntdz78a"?

#

There is a page "device management" under that API list but I don't see anything that could be mine

https://github.com/codetheweb/tuyapi/blob/master/docs/SETUP.md

#

i did mine via this setup. i already had my devices registered through the smart life app

#

they were already set up under the Cloud section on the iot.tuya.com site

#

Ah OK mine says "no projects found create cloud project"

#

make sure you go through the steps in "Linking a Tuya device with Smart Link"

#

i can't seem to paste images in this thread...

#

OK Thanks I am trying the link you sent on a Ubuntu VM as I can't seem to get it to install on Windows I'll let you know how it goes thanks again

#

sorry one more thing can you see why this is not working? "C:\Users\DR Gooley>python3
Python 3.9.9 (tags/v3.9.9:ccb0e6a, Nov 15 2021, 18:08:50) [MSC v.1929 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

no idea. i'm using ubuntu and i merely copied the custom_components into my installation, and set up the configuration. what exactly are you trying to do?

sick mural Jan 9, 2022, 1:56 AM

#

The first thing on the github page is to install the CLI tool. I assume it is Linux but I tried in CMD anyway. I have a Linux Mint install I'll try that one

crude bobcat Jan 9, 2022, 1:59 AM

#

oh i see now... so i used the 2nd option

#

i dont recall doing all these steps last time... let me check something

#

ah, i see now. https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/tuya/

#

i used this approach as i originally used the "built in" tuya support in HA, before discovering localtuya

#

to use localtuya, all i had to do was go back into iot.tuya.com and invoke an api (within the browser) to get the local_key for each device

sick mural Jan 9, 2022, 2:39 AM

#

OK I'll try again thanks for the info. steep learning curve and many a rabbit hole this isn't it..

crude bobcat Jan 9, 2022, 2:56 AM

#

it's fun though!

sick mural Jan 9, 2022, 5:27 AM

#

I don't give up easily but I give up I'm so frustrated now its made me angry. I'll just focus on the ESPhome stuff instead but thank you for the help
