THIS WILL ONLY WORK FOR SWITCHES. WILL NOT WORK WITH DIMMERS.
This is a simple platform to control SOME switch devices that use the Tuya cloud for control.
It uses the pytuya library (https://github.com/clach04/python-tuya) to directly control the switch device. (No need to install as Home Assistant automatically installs it.)
Most switch devices that use the Tuya cloud should work. If port 6668 is open on the switch device then it will work.
switch id is if the switch device has multiple switches, the switch number.
See here for how to find localKey and devId: http://seandev.org/tuyainst
To use, copy tuya.py to "/custom_components/switch" and add config below to configuration.yaml
Config Fields:
switch:
- platform: tuya
name: //switch name
host: //ip of device
local_key: //localKey
device_id: //devId
id: //switch id. Remove line if only one switch
Example:
switch:
- platform: tuya
name: Switch
host: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
local_key: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
device_id: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
id: 3
