[computer_hardware][electrical_equipment] Managing Tuya smart outlets

[LukeShortCloud]

Verify that a device is manufactured by tupya (many brands will relabel the devices but still use the same hardware) by seeing if port 6668 is in use.

$ nmap <LOCAL_IP_ADDRESS>
PORT     STATE SERVICE
6668/tcp open  irc

3 pieces of information are required to access the API:

• Device ID
• Local Key
• DPS (default is "1")

As of 2022, the local key is no longer publicly available for security and privacy concerns. However, there are workarounds to get it.

It is also possible to flash custom firmware to unlock more capabilities.

Brands that typically use Tuya:

• BlitzWolf
• Gosund
• Koogeek
