xAAL support for Tuya protocol / Smart Life App

This package provides a gateway to control Tuya devices from xAAL network.

Tuya protocol is the common protocol used in cheap chinese outlets, smart plugs, and RGB lamps. It use the cloud base “Smart Life” mobile application (Android/IOS).

This protocol isn’t really reliable. If you can, avoid the use of Smart Life APP when this gateway is running. This should be ok, but attributes can be out of sync. The gateway polls devices state every 45 seconds but due to socket error, this can be a little longuer.

The complete guide to extract keys is there: https://github.com/codetheweb/tuyapi/blob/master/docs/SETUP.md

Notes : The main issue is that tuya devices close every connection after 10 seconds.

Supported devices

The gateway supports: PowerRelays (from 1 to x relais), SmartPlugs (same as relais but with a single power-meter), lamps and RGB lamps

Configuration samples

• Dimmer Lamp / LSC Smart filament

[[device_id]]

 addr = xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx

• RGB Lamp / LSC RGB1

[[device_id]]
 ip = 192.168.1.x
 key = xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
 type = lamp_rgb
 white_temp = 1800, 2700  # for LSC
 white_temp = 3000, 6500  # for Utorch LE7
 addr = xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx

• Alphawise dumb single outlet

[[device_id]]
  ip = 192.168.1.x
  key = xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
  type = powerrelay

• SmartPlug (single outlet) / BW-SHP6

[[device_id]]
  ip = 192.168.1.x

  type = smartplug

• SmartPlug (dual outlet) / BW-SHP7

[[device_id]]
  ip = 192.168.1.x
  key = xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
  type = smartplug
  dps = 1, 2               # <= 2 outlets
  pmeter_dps = 18, 19, 20  # <= dps for current / power / voltage
