rustuya-local

Local control of Tuya devices through rustuya-bridge, as IL (ildevice) devices, and in Home Assistant. It replaces rustuya-homeassistant.

rustuya-bridge ──MQTT──► rustuya-local ──MQTT (il/…)──► il-ha (Home Assistant integration), or any IL consumer
 raw LAN dps             Service:
                         BridgeClient + tuya2ildevice.Hub

• tuya2ildevice is the only place that interprets Tuya: Home Assistant core's tuya behaviour, the user overrides for non-standard devices, and the host parts (runner, transports, file watchers).
• rustuya-local is one Service (src/rustuya_local/service.py) and three thin shells that run it: the rustuya-local run daemon, the custom_components/rustuya Home Assistant integration, and a rustuya-manager plugin. It only produces IL and knows nothing of Home Assistant entities.
• il-ha turns IL descriptors into Home Assistant entities.

Daemon

uv venv && uv pip install -e .        # sibling checkouts: see pyproject.toml's [tool.uv.sources]
rustuya-local run --config config.json

config.json (see src/rustuya_local/config.py): the bridge and IL brokers, the IL prefix, the device list, a custom_converters directory, and options for the Hub (allow_hazardous, expose_unused, overrides). The device list is the tuyadevices.json that rustuya-manager keeps (its QR-login wizard writes it, with each device's cloud category/function/status_range/local_strategy); rustuya-local follows it as it changes and never writes it. IL carries only the devices that are also registered on the bridge. The bridge's own topic templates are read from its retained {root}/bridge/config.

Stopping the daemon only marks it offline; its devices stay in IL (retained) for the next start. To retire it, stop it and run rustuya-local purge --config config.json: the retained descriptors, values and presence of its IL prefix and source are cleared (other sources on the prefix are left alone), so IL consumers drop the devices.

Home Assistant

Coming from rustuya-homeassistant: docs/MIGRATING.md.

Install il-ha, and run one IL producer per bridge: the daemon, the integration below, or the manager plugin. A second one with the same IL prefix and source refuses to start while the first runs (every device would show twice): the daemon exits, the integration is retried by Home Assistant, the plugin's tab shows it and retries. To move from one to another, stop the old one first.

The rustuya integration (HACS: add this repository as a custom repository of type Integration, install Rustuya, restart, then Add Integration → Rustuya) is the service tied to a config entry, with the QR login wizard, bridge registration and an optional embedded bridge. It creates no entities itself. Setup asks only for the bridge mode, the broker and the IL prefix (it checks an external bridge answers there, and asks for its topic root if it is not on the default one), then offers to fetch the devices from Tuya Cloud (a saved login is reused; a QR login only when there is none), which closing its window skips (it is in Configure later, and in the panel); the rest starts at its defaults and is changed in the panel's Settings. Deleting the integration takes its devices out of IL (so il-ha removes them); with the embedded bridge it also clears that bridge's retained topics and its state file. The device list and Tuya login it kept under .storage/rustuya/ are deleted; a device file you pointed elsewhere, and everything on an external bridge, are left as they are.

Overrides for non-standard devices

Tuya's cloud schemas are fragmented; fixes go in a custom_converters/ directory (daemon: custom_converters in the config; integration: <config>/rustuya_converters; manager plugin: its data dir), followed live:

• *.json: tuya2ildevice override blocks by product or device id: rename a dp, define one the schema lacks, map the device's words to the standard ones (remap.alias), invert a direction (remap.invert), fix labels and classes, turn on a code converter. rustuya-homeassistant's custom_converters JSON files load as they are.
• *.py: code converters (CONVERTERS = {"name": factory}).

See tuya2ildevice's README ("User overrides") for the format. A curated set ships in tuya2ildevice, and fixes published between its releases (its override pack) are copied into the directory at start and daily, as 00_pack_* files that your own files refine. Turn that off with "pack": false (daemon), the Rustuya panel's Options (integration), or the plugin tab. The pack only replaces or removes the files it put there, and leaves a file alone once you edit it.

In Home Assistant the files can be edited from a sidebar panel: the integration's Configure → Add the Rustuya panel to the sidebar adds it and links to it. The panel is for administrators. It fetches the device list from Tuya Cloud, shows the bridge's devices against the cloud list as rustuya-manager does (missing, orphan, mismatch, synced, each a filter you can turn off; sub-devices under their gateway; each device's bridge connection, live while the panel is open) with add / update / remove, lists the converter files with the pack's marked, edits and deletes them (drop *.json / *.py files on it to copy them in), runs the pack sync on demand, has the Options (remote control of locks, alarms and garage doors; data points Home Assistant core would not classify; the override pack), and the Settings setup leaves at their defaults: the bridge topic root, the IL prefix and source, the device file, and the embedded bridge's state file and log level. Saving restarts the integration; moving the IL prefix or source first clears what the old one left on the broker. Hide panel in its toolbar turns it off again. The integration and the panel follow Home Assistant's language: Korean, or English.

rustuya-manager plugin

Installed next to rustuya-manager, as a pip package (pip install rustuya-local in the manager's environment) or as the drop-in zip each release carries (rustuya_local-<version>-dropin.zip, tuya2ildevice vendored inside, built by scripts/build_dropin.py; unpack it into the manager's plugin directory, or install it from the manager's plugin catalog once listed there), it appears as a Tuya (IL) tab and runs the service under the manager: the manager's broker and bridge root, the manager's device list (followed). Its data dir (rustuya-local/ next to the manager's plugins) holds settings.json (il, options) and custom_converters/, and the tab edits both: saved settings restart the service in place, saved converter files are picked up while it runs. A settings file it cannot use is shown on the tab until it is fixed.

The drop-in zip freezes the tuya2ildevice it was built with: a tuya2ildevice fix reaches manager users with the next rustuya-local release (bump the patch version and tag; the manager's catalog follows the release). Installed both ways (pip and the plugin directory), the plugin runs once.

Tests

.venv/bin/python -m pytest

Everything here needs the sibling repos and, for the last two groups, mosquitto, pyrustuya-bridge and tuyamock (pip install -e ".[test,fullstack]"); those are skipped when missing. Parity with Home Assistant core's fixtures lives in tuya2ildevice/tests/chain, the wire and topic vectors in ildevice/vectors.

• tests/unit/: the configuration.
• tests/e2e/test_service.py: the service on in-memory brokers (overrides directory, a failed start).
• tests/e2e/test_chain_*.py, test_daemon.py: the runner with il-ha's consumer model on the other side, in one process and over a real broker; the daemon as a subprocess.
• tests/e2e/test_manager_plugin.py: the plugin under rustuya-manager's real plugin host (skipped without it).
• tests/ha/: the integration (config flow, setup).
• tests/e2e/test_full_stack*.py: the real rustuya-bridge (pyrustuyabridge, in process) and Tuya device emulators (tuyamock) around the daemon: state, commands, rejections, a device dropping off and returning, a daemon restart, and a differential check that 38 real device shapes come out of the whole chain exactly as tuya2ildevice computes them.
