How to setup this integration? #116

Open darkcheater opened 3 months ago

darkcheater commented 3 months ago

Could someone please help me with the setup? The link to the Tuya integration documentation does not really help. What do I need to setup, to control my Bluetooth devices locally with this integration? How to connect them? Thanks and best regards!

I did it now.

make the bot accessable via App. I used SmartLive App.
create this developer account at the Tuya cloud and import the bot (https://github.com/tuya/tuya-home-assistant/wiki/Tuya-IoT-Platform-Configuration-Guide), you need to save some Info which are needed to enter in the HA Tuya installation later.
install the Tuya-BLE, I used HACS but use a different repro: https://github.com/markusg1234/ha_tuya_ble You can change the repository path before you install (google helps).

Done, HA discover then my bot (after reboot HA), then I pressed the button to integrate the device and entered the needed data I saved from the developer account.

Thank you, I got it running. Although my devices (THB2 and THB3 temp/humidity sensors) are not being detected. Some Lidl Parkside batteries showed up however (although they don't provide any useful data). Also tested other forks but the one that you posted is the only one running with HA 2024.2.1. One additional info: you need to have the Bluetooth integration setup. See here: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/bluetooth/ The easiest/fastest solution is to setup an ESPHome bluetooth proxy (https://esphome.io/projects/?type=bluetooth).

Sure, you need any Bluetooth integrations available in HA. I used a Bluetooth stick with an Antenna, directed connected with my HA instance.
