Maybe I'm lost here. In the Configurations, you list this:

username Required. The username for the account that is registered in the Android/iOS App. *Due to a bug in the API the username can't contain dots.

Exactly how does one create an account without an email (which has a dot)?

milo526 commented 2 years ago

Hmm that could have been slightly clearer. The dot cannot not be before the '@' in the email.

Gotcha, thanks. I got it to work. At first, it would not work with my Smart Life account. After linking it with Tuya IoT, all devices would immediately go offline. So I created a Tuya Smart account and linked it; this worked. (I unlinked the Smart Life account first). Hope this helps someone.
