Home Assistant Tuya Local component

Please report any issues and feel free to raise pull requests. Many others have contributed their help already.

This is a Home Assistant integration to support devices running Tuya firmware without going via the Tuya cloud. Devices are supported over WiFi, limited support for devices connected via hubs is available.

Note that many Tuya devices seem to support only one local connection. If you have connection issues when using this integration, ensure that other integrations offering local Tuya connections are not configured to use the same device, mobile applications on devices on the local network are closed, and no other software is trying to connect locally to your Tuya devices.

Using this integration does not stop your devices from sending status to the Tuya cloud, so this should not be seen as a security measure, rather it improves speed and reliability by using local connections, and may unlock some features of your device, or even unlock whole devices, that are not supported by the Tuya cloud API.

A similar but unrelated integration is rospogrigio/localtuya, if your device is not supported by this integration, you may find it easier to set up using that as an alternative.
