Using Tuya's new API, tuya-device-sharing

[MusiCode1]

Will this project move to use Tuya's newly published API, the TuyaDeviceSharing project that does not require a developer account to connect?

The official Tuya integration already uses it: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/tuya

This is the SDK: https://github.com/tuya/tuya-device-sharing-sdk

I believe those SDK still rely on cloud. localtuya controls directly using a localkey. Would be nice if they provided easy access to local key.

Not necessarily needed I think. Thanks to this German post who found a very easy way of gathering the local keys:

• Go to https://iot.tuya.com/cloud/
• Select your project (or create one like in some of the tutorials)
• Select tab “Service API”
• Select “Smart Home Basic Service” -> Debug
• Select “Smart Home Device Management” -> “Get Device Details” on the left
• Enter the Id of the device you need the key for
• Hit “Submit Request”

Read the local key (and the mappings) on the right.

I just tried the mentioned method to retrieve the local key. Unfortunately it require a valid subscription to launch...
