Tuya Smart Home
Control any Tuya/Smart Life device via cloud API or local network.
Dependencies
pip3 install tinytuya tuya-connector-pythonConfiguration
Two control modes available:
Cloud Mode
Requires Tuya IoT Platform credentials from https://iot.tuya.com:
ACCESS_ID— from Cloud ProjectACCESS_SECRET— from Cloud ProjectREGION— cn (China), us (Americas/SEA), eu (Europe), in (India)
Local Mode (Recommended)
Requires device info (obtain via cloud API first):
DEVICE_ID— device identifierLOCAL_KEY— device encryption keyIP— device local IP addressVERSION— protocol version (usually 3.4)

China Region Note
China data center (openapi.tuyacn.com) blocks non-China IPs by default. Solutions:
- Add your IP to whitelist in Tuya IoT Platform → Project → IP Whitelist
- Use local mode (bypasses cloud entirely, recommended)
