rs file missing?

[mobamoba]

Sorry I'm new to this. I followed your setup instructions but it's not working. I notice a reference to "Tuya-Api-Tasmota.rs" and "tuya-api-template.js" but I don't actually see either of those. Was there something additional I was supposed to install? Thanks.

@mobamoba,

Thanks for letting me know the template is missing, Template is upload.

1. Use the template to add new devices ( JSon array format) update the deviceId, local key , friendly name , topic or
2. In the home page click on the [+] icon to add new device

Thanks Thiru

tuya-api-template.js

{"tam_app_001":{"deviceConfig":[{"topic":"nodeId","devId":"xxxxxxxxxxxxx","key":"xxxxxxxxxxxxx","friendlyName":"xxxxxxxxxxxxxx","nodeId":"xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx","name":"Tuya Swtich 3 CH","id":"tuya_switch_ch3","template":"shd_s3c_template.htm","isDimmer":false,"powers":[1,2,3],"dimmerId":0,"rangeFactor":-1,"minDimValue":1,"telePeriod":{"time":"15","factor":"s"},"pulsePeriod":{"1":{"time":-1,"factor":"n"},"2":{"time":-1,"factor":"n"},"3":{"time":-1,"factor":"n"},"4":{"time":-1,"factor":"n"}},"deviceType":"tuya_switchch3"} , **{repeat for second device } ...._** ] }}

Update and save it as "Tuya-Api-Tasmota.rs"

if you are not comfortable using json template use the [+] icon from the home page http://127.0.0.1:8082 to add new devices

Thanks Thiru

@mobamoba, Please let me know if you need any help .. ?

[mobamoba]

Thanks that solved it. I have a question though (sorry for the noobiness :)): is there a way to use a command line with the app rather than the gui? Thanks.

@mobamoba , Thanks for the confirmation, Will add CLI and Mqtt option to added / manage device .

[mobamoba]

Great thanks.

[thirug010]

@mobamoba, CLI option is added follow the steps,

1. Get latest code from the github
2. Navigate to the code path and run "npm install"
3. Run the Main with nodemon and run the CLI in separate instance "node tuya_api_mqtt_cli.js"
4. New device will be added and will start sending mqtt

Check and let me know

[mobamoba]

npm install is throwing this error:

@mobamoba, issue fixed check now

[mobamoba]

Yes that worked. Is there a way to use the CLI to manipulate the device (like toggling it on or off)? Thanks

[thirug010]

I am not getting it. can you give me example of what you are looking for. You can use mqtt command to achieve it

[mobamoba]

Yes I realized that like 2 minutes after I typed my question - ignore :), thanks!
