Thanks for the integration!

It is working with 1Gang and 3Gang bingoelec smart switch, but didn't manage to make it work with the COVER from Bingoelec with the following log details,

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

I appreciate your help and guidance, thanks

The json obj data unvalid is a known problem, not sure if we have a solution to that. It would be great if you could try to list datapoints with tuya-cli and see if that works.

Thanks indeed for your reply, I am not sure how to do that, a guidance is appreciated.

However, the cover work with another custom_components with 2 for on(open cover), 1 for off(close cover), 3 for stop(stop cover) and it is a 2 button curtain switch, please check out the component here https://github.com/zakariajado/localtuya_cover_mod/tree/main/localtuya_cover

I really hope that this will help and any guidance is appreciated

Thanks!
