Unable to add my devices - errors

[buzurk26]

Hi,

I am having some issues with the LocalTuya Integration, I am getting errors when trying to add my devices.

I installed LocalTuya via HACS, all appeared to install without issue however when i try to add a device i get an error with a failure to authenticate.

Environment details -

HASSIO - 0.117.2 HACS - 1.6.1 LocalTuya - 3.0.3

I got my IDs using the TuyaAPI instructions here https://github.com/codetheweb/tuyapi/blob/master/docs/SETUP.md

Which when running the cli-wizard gave me an output like this [ { name: 'Study Lamp', id: '938xxxxxxxxxx60c', key: '93xxxxxxxxx0c' } ] Replaced with xxxx's just to mask it.

Assuming ID is my "Device ID" and Key is "Local Key" when trying to add my device on the integrations page

Logs showing the following

Please enable debug logs, run again and attach logs here. We be great if you could run from master instead since we have a few fixes there which is not in HACS.

Hi,

I had that already enabled, where do i find the logs?

I added 3.0.3 via HACs, i only aded by adding your repo URL, wouldnt that pull the latest?

If not, do i uninstall via hacs first?

[postlund]

You only get the latest released version from HACS and there's hasn't been any releases from master in a while. You should remove it from HACS first, yes, and then add it under custom_components/localtuya.

The logs are in home-assiatant.log in your config directory. Can also be obtained from Configuration -> Logs and pressing the button at the bottom.

Hi

thanks for that, i uninstalled and manually installed from master.

went to add again, same error

the lots i did upload above, are you able to see them?

[postlund]

Yes, I can see the logs but they are incomplete as you didn't have debug level enabled.

hi, Here is what i had in my comfiguration.yaml, is that not right?

Thanks again for your help

here is the latest log when i tried again, one thing is when i do add it, it comes back with that failed to authenticate almost straight away

Thank you

You need to pull the full log from the log file and not just the error itself. Try pressing the button at the bottom of the log page or download it from your config directory (home-assistant.log).

Hi, Got it working, though not sure what happened, essentially removed it all, including devices from cloud and started again

thanks for your assistance.
