name: tuya description: Control Tuya devices via local Home Assistant (tuya-local) or Tuya Cloud using the tuya-hub Go CLI. metadata: {"clawdis":{"emoji":"🏠","requires":{"bins":["tuya"]}}}

Tuya (tuya-hub)

Use this skill when the user wants to discover, poll, or control Tuya devices.

Build

Copygo build -o bin/tuya ./cmd/tuya

CLI

• Use ./bin/tuya or install to PATH and set TUYA_BIN.

Config

Default config: ~/.config/tuya-hub/config.yaml

Quick setup (guided wizard):

Copy./bin/tuya config --backend cloud

Important: cloud.userId must be the UID from Devices → Link Tuya App Account (not the token UID).

Find linked app users (helps set the right userId):

Copy./bin/tuya users --try-common
./bin/tuya users --schema smartlife

Minimum for Home Assistant backend:

Copybackend: ha
homeAssistant:
  url: "http://homeassistant.local:8123"
  token: "YOUR_LONG_LIVED_ACCESS_TOKEN"

Minimum for Tuya Cloud backend:

Copybackend: cloud
cloud:
  accessId: "YOUR_TUYA_ACCESS_ID"
  accessKey: "YOUR_TUYA_ACCESS_KEY"
  endpoint: "https://openapi.tuyaeu.com"
  schema: ""  # optional; used for user lookup
  userId: ""  # UID from Link Tuya App Account

Env overrides:

• TUYA_BACKEND=ha|cloud
• TUYA_HA_URL
• TUYA_HA_TOKEN
• TUYA_CLOUD_ACCESS_ID
• TUYA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY
• TUYA_CLOUD_ENDPOINT
• TUYA_CLOUD_SCHEMA
• TUYA_CLOUD_USER_ID

Common actions (HA)

• Discover devices

  Copy./bin/tuya discover
  

• Poll temperature sensors

  Copy./bin/tuya poll --kind temperature
  

• Get a device state

  Copy./bin/tuya get --entity sensor.kitchen_temperature
  

• Turn a device on/off

  Copy./bin/tuya set --entity switch.garden_lights --state on
  

• Call any HA service

  Copy./bin/tuya call --service light.turn_on --data {"entity_id":"light.patio"}
  

Common actions (Cloud)

• Discover devices

  Copy./bin/tuya discover --backend cloud
  

• Poll temperature sensors (scaled)

  Copy./bin/tuya poll --backend cloud --kind temperature
  

  Values are auto-scaled (tenths) when detected; raw value is in value_raw for JSON output.

• Get device status

  Copy./bin/tuya get --backend cloud --id <device_id>
  ./bin/tuya get --backend cloud --id <device_id> --code <status_code>
  

• Switch / light on-off

  1. Inspect status codes (look for switch / switch_1 / switch_2):

  Copy./bin/tuya get --backend cloud --id <device_id>
  

  1. Send command:

  Copy./bin/tuya set --backend cloud --id <device_id> --code switch_1 --value true
  ./bin/tuya set --backend cloud --id <device_id> --code switch_1 --value false
  

Notes

• Local control is via Home Assistant (tuya-local integration). HomeKit can be bridged through Home Assistant’s HomeKit integration.
• Cloud backend uses Tuya OpenAPI; devices must be linked to the cloud project.
• If you see permission deny, the app account UID is wrong or not linked to the project.
