Can it be integrated in Home Assistant? #2

Open Nihvel opened 5 years ago

Perhaps dockerized and/or as an alternative to the current Home Assistant Tuya integration: https://www.home-assistant.io/components/tuya/

This integration works good, obviously, but it misses the power metering feature and I believe your project can improve this integration a lot!

I bought some of these plugs and after discovering the firmware is locked and can't be tuya-flashed, I tried to use the integration above thinking that it would have worked anyway even if without MQTT. Then I saw that also the power metering wasn't there.

Thank you

I updated the script and added a Dockerfile to make it easier to build and run the script.

Is the other request to extend Home Assistant tuya integration to include the power data?

Hi, thanks! That was incredibly fast! Unfortunately I can not help you for Home Assistant backend. Do you know this software? I bet people in the community will be happy to see the tuya integration improved.

I really do not have other requests, I think you could drop them a message to check how to add your project to the system. Right now I see that one container holds the requirements for 1 plug. For more plugs more containers have to be created and I'm not sure it will be easy to handle it. Probably there's a way in between and your container(s)/project can work inside HA flawlessly.

Hello,

I'm a user of Home Assistant and I'm looking for a integration of power monitor in this platform. For now, there is a project with node red https://github.com/subzero79/node-red-contrib-tuya-local but it's not easy. So it would be fantastic to develop a custom component for this used.

Thank you
