Usage

Full documentation can be found at here

Usage example: A simple program to control a group of lights through command line input

from EasyTuya import TuyaAPI
from EasyTuya.devices import Lights

if __name__ == "__main__":
    api = TuyaAPI("your_client_id", "your_access_secret")
    l1 = Lights.Light("your_device_id_1", "Light 1")
    l2 = Lights.Light("your_device_id_2", "Light 2")
    api.addDevices([l1, l2], "LIGHTS")
    while(True):
        toDo = input()
        if toDo == "on":
            api.sendCommands("LIGHTS", Lights.onCommand())
        elif toDo == "off":
            api.sendCommands("LIGHTS", Lights.offCommand())
        elif toDo == "white":
            api.sendCommands("LIGHTS", Lights.workModeCommand("white"))
        elif toDo == "color":
            api.sendCommands("LIGHTS", Lights.workModeCommand("colour"))
        elif toDo == "red":
            api.sendCommands("LIGHTS", Lights.colorCommand(Lights.redHSV))
        elif toDo == "blue":
            api.sendCommands("LIGHTS", Lights.colorCommand(Lights.blueHSV))
        elif toDo == "rainbow":
            api.sendCommands("LIGHTS", Lights.sceneCommand(4))
        elif toDo.split()[0] == "bright":
            api.sendCommands("LIGHTS", Lights.brightnessCommand(int(toDo.split()[1])))
        elif toDo == "onoff":
            api.sendCommands("LIGHTS", api.devices['LIGHTS'][0].toggleOnOff())
        elif toDo == "status":
            print(api.getStatus("LIGHTS"))

Other Notes

Finding Device IDs

To find your device IDs, go to: Tuya developer site -> Device Management -> Device List Select your correct country from the drop down near the center of the page, then your devices should show up each with their name displayed above their device id, as shown in the following image.
