zaphod Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 When I searched Tuya I came upon a thread regarding MQTT, but is anyone aware of a direct driver for these devices. It looks like there are a few other HA applications (https://github.com/codetheweb/tuyapi Quote Projects built with TuyAPI tuya-cli: a CLI interface for Tuya devices homebridge-tuya: a Homebridge plugin for Tuya devices tuyaweb: a web interface for controlling devices by bmachek homebridge-igenix-air-conditioner: a Homebridge plugin for the Igenix IG9901WIFI air conditioner magichome-led-controller: a node to use magichome led RGB controller in node-red ioBroker.tuya: an ioBroker (http://iobroker.net/) adapter to get data and control devices incl. schema parsing node-red-contrib-tuya-smart: A NodeRED input node utilizing tuyapi to connect the smart home tuyadump a Go project to decode device traffic in real time tuya-mqtt a simple MQTT interface for TuyAPI  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wnpublic Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 To each their own, but I’m not going to put Chinese cloud devices in my home network.  The good news is that these things are easily flashable with custom firmware that will keep them local only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t use any of those except Yeelight and I had integrate it with C4 without calling-home! wnpublic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kind of enjoy HA. At my house, it's now basically an overlay on top of C4 that everyone likes to use better than the C4 interface. But yes there are some real DIY elements to it.
