Hello there 👋

I am very interested into this project and hacking my tuya powered air conditioner after all.

I am having a hard time to get things started. Can you give me a hint how I have to proceed to get those serial commands into my tuya board? Do I have to connect an seperate esp32 board to the tuya board using UART?

Thanks in advance Greetings from Germany 🍻

Basically you flash Tasmota on the tuya module of the A/C: https://tasmota.github.io/docs/Getting-Started. After that you can send the serial commands over mqtt to the A/C or you use the mqtt bridge to get a more convenient API: https://github.com/adaasch/AC-hack/issues/1#issuecomment-2031340282
