Cannot Link account - QR code has expired.

[Miniontoby]

I cannot link my account at Devices on the IOT:

Idk if this has to do with the fact I use LSC Smart Connect app or not

And maybe this is not the correct place to ask this, but idk

It does. AFAIK only the Smart Life app is supported, I have yet to see any other app link successfully.

But it does tell my phone that "(CHINESE CHARACTERS)" wants to login.

and then I hit "Link" or whatever it actually says and then after I clicked that it then on the website says "QR code has expired."

I just installed that app and tried to link, but it's refusing with the error "Please use designated APP to scan the code to log in."

You're going to need to either move everything over to the Smart Life app, or try and find the app secret and use the alternate method of getting local keys.

I dont get that message, I just click "Confirm login" and then the app goes back to HOME and the website goes like 'QR Code has expired.'

[Miniontoby]

And yeah I don't want to have to install another app to just be able to use this API. I don't have that much space left and such.

So yeah if there is a way to do it with the "LSC Smart Connect" app, I would like to hear it.

Hmm.

When I authorize the dev console's Network tab shows request with the following response:

{"t":1679673574199,"success":false,"errorCode":"PARAMS_ILLEGAL","status":"error","errorMsg":"Invalid parameters"}

Update: I just opened a ticket, I hope Tuya support might help me out. Will relay the response back.

So I installed Tuya app and linked account, but I cannot find my device nor the local key.

I don't know what I could do

Also when trying the wizzard command I get this output:

TinyTuya Setup Wizard [1.10.3]

    Existing settings:
        API Key=********************
        Secret=***********************************
        DeviceID=******************************
        Region=eu

    Use existing credentials (Y/n): Y

Error from Tuya server: Error from Tuya Cloud: Code 1106: 'permission deny'
Check DeviceID and Region

Oke, I fixed it by using the Mitm method that tuyapi 'suggests'. This in combination with an older version of the LSC Smart Connect app did the job for me! So now I can interact with my LED's using code.
