@simeonovp After fetchig list of devices and models i attempt to add some to my project. Some of my devices are in a different subnet of my network and are not visible through discovery, there is routing to this network, I need to specify the ip manually. How to? Thanks!

@mrmaximas In the current version, it is not possible to configure the IP address via the GUI. The reason for this is that the devices we tested do not support the configuration of static IP addresses. With DHCP, there is no guarantee that the same address will be assigned for a new connection. During initialization, Tuya devices are searched for in the network and these communicate their current IP address. I can plan a feature for a subsequent version that first attempts a connection via an optional predefined IP address.

@simeonovp Thank You for fast response. I assign static addresses via DHCP settings on my Mikrotik router, most routers have the ability to reserve an address for any device based on its MAC address. A DHCP/Static checkbox would be great.

@simeonovp I also have some suggestions, maybe you will find some of them useful and possible to implement.

  1. I don't know what service you use for auto-translate, but when configuring devices in the tuya-local-device / tuya-model nodes I see the dp name in Chinese (why ?), which I can't change to my own. Screenshot 2024-07-18 at 10 23 41

  1. I think it is better to take the device model name from product_name or product_id, because now you are forming the model name from the first added device with this model.

Thanks!
