Configuration

There is no extra information need, the info is readout of file 'devices.json' located in the plugin folder, keep the setting 'Data Timeout' at the plug-in disabled. For the best performed it is advised to give the tuya devices a static ip, see your router manufacturer manual to setup static ip's.

Usage

In the web UI, navigate to the Hardware page. In the hardware dropdown there will be an entry called "TinyTUYA (Local Control)" add the hardware.

Test device

I only had an RGBWW light to fully test the script. If there is a device missing in the plugin, you can provide the JSON file by creating a post in issues on GitHub. Don't forget to obfuscate the 'Key' in the JSON.
