Support bluetooth devices through a hub/bridge

[felipecrs]

I have some bluetooth bulbs which works through a bluetooth hub. The tuya-cli seems to recognize them:

❯ tuya-cli wizard
[
  {
    name: 'Hub Bluetooth e ZigBee',
    id: 'eb41b8f336925ed5eczxwg',
    key: '<hidden>',
    subDevices: [
      {
        name: 'Luz do corredorzinho',
        id: 'eb4ea98uq24mj6d7',
        cid: 'dc234dc5aea1'
      }
    ]
  }
]

Adding the hub itself to Tuya Local doesn't work:

And using any combination of id/sub-id/cid/key does not seem to work either.

This will not be possible until the upstream library adds subdevice support, which it currently lacks.

It looks like the support has been added to tinytuya (after the 1.8.0 release was cut, so not yet released), so it will become possible to work on this issue soon.

Interested in this functionality too, looks like v1.9.0 of tinytuya has been released now with support for gateways also. Happy to participate in any testing, I'm currently using a Bluetooth gateway with some lights and sensors.

@tony-robson out of curiosity, are your lights RGB?

[make-all]

Progress on the underlying sub-device support is being tracked on issue #70.

I have both kinds, mostly RGB but also some Warm White too.

@make-all Thanks, I'll keep an eye on that issue then.

mostly RGB

When I use the official Tuya HA integration, it doesn't allow me to change colors. Only the white temperature. Have you observed the same as well? My hope is that the same issue won't occur with Tuya Local.

I haven't tested extensively with the Official Tuya Integration, instead I've been using a fork of localtuya that has Gateway Support. The problem I have had using that integration though could be similar to yours, I found unless I manually initialized the DP values of the sub devices (read: RGB Lights) using tinytuya/tuya-cli each time the Gateway was restarted then those functions wouldn't work In the integration.

I suspect this could be due to the Gateway clearing the values for all sub devices each time it is reset, so when the integration was polling a DP it was getting an undefined return causing issues with the integrations logic. More info in an issue i submitted here.

Hope that helps some.

Awesome. Thank you!

I'm attempting to connect this device but I'm running into #1425.

I'm just pinging this issue wondering if anyone involved here that had such device was able to make it work.
