tuya-strip 0.1.1

CLI for controlling a Tuya 3-way power strip over LAN

Tuya Outlet CLI

A simple Python CLI to control a Tuya-compatible 3-way smart power strip over your local network without using the Tuya cloud (except once during setup). Basically just a simple wrapper around the awesome tinytuya project.

Features

• Turn each plug on/off individually
• Show status including plug states and energy data (voltage, current, power)
• Simple setup command for device configuration
• Robust configuration management with timeout and retry options

Installation

Option 1: Install from PyPI (Recommended)

pip install tuya-strip

Option 2: Install from Source

1. Install Poetry

2. Clone this repo:

git clone https://github.com/wanjawischmeier/tuya-strip.git
cd tuya-strip

3. Install dependencies:

poetry install

Setup

Configure your device credentials:

tuya-strip setup

The setup command will prompt you to enter your device details:

• Device ID
• Device IP address
• Local Key
• Protocol Version (default: 3.3)

Configuration is saved to your home directory (~/.tuya-strip) and will work from any directory.

[!NOTE]
If you installed from source, prefix all commands with poetry run (e.g., poetry run tuya-strip setup)

Usage

tuya-strip status                    # Show current state and energy data
tuya-strip on 1                      # Turn on plug 1
tuya-strip off 3                     # Turn off plug 3
tuya-strip --timeout 5 status        # Use custom timeout
tuya-strip --retries 5 on 2          # Use custom retry count

Example Output

Loading config from: C:\Users\username\.tuya-strip
Switches: {'1': True, '2': False, '3': True}
Energy: {'voltage_V': 229, 'current_mA': 120, 'power_W': 24}
