Tuya V2 not visible after installation

[MilesAheadToo]

Describe the bug I followed all the steps for the HACS installation

Expected behavior As per the installation instructions, once I reboot HA I should be able to install Tuya V2 from Configuration > Integrations > ADD INTEGRATION, search for the keyword tuya and select Tuya v2.

This is the only message I can find in the logs that related to tuya_v2

2021-10-17 14:55:13 WARNING (SyncWorker_2) [homeassistant.loader] We found a custom integration tuya_v2 which has not been tested by Home Assistant. This component might cause stability problems, be sure to disable it if you experience issues with Home Assistant

Device specifications (please complete the following information, which can be found in log):

Since I haven't been able to setup Tuya V2 there are no devices.

There are also no devices in the home assistant.

I solved the problem, the way in the pictures!

[MilesAheadToo]

You're a STAR!!!

[MilesAheadToo]

Ugh!! While it is true that Tuya V2 now shows up in the integrations, the integration fails. I first got a cryptic error message - sorry I didn't make a note of it, but something along the lines of "The installation ahs failed." I then clicked on the + Add Integration button again and I get the following popup that spins for ever.

I'll try to look at the log and post more info.

[MilesAheadToo]

I have restarted HA, and it starts just fine, and seems to be operating just fine. I can look at the different integrations, and I even went into HACS and reinstalled Tuya V2. No errors. I got the same message about rebooting. So I did.

Once HA was up again I went in Configuration > Integration > + Add Integration, and I immediately get the same graphic as above.

HELP!!!

Are you on 2021.10.0 or later? You should then remove tuya_v2 from your custom integrations, as TuyaV2 is now integrated into Home Assistant Core. Having both installed may cause issues.

[MilesAheadToo]

Sorry, I meant to add that the logs are nearly empty.

This is the code in my configuration.yaml

`

Configure a default setup of Home Assistant (frontend, api, etc)

default_config:

zeroconf: history:

media_source:

frontend: themes: !include themes.yaml

logger: default: critical logs: custom_components.tuya_v2: debug `

I posted a screen shot from Supervisor > System

• core-2021.10.5
• supervisor-2021.10.0
• Home Assistant OS 6.5

I will now have to see how I can remove the integration. Perhaps I will start with HACS and work backwards.

I was trying to look for the newest version because I have 23 devices on iot.tuya.com, but on 12 show up in HA.

Any thoughts on that?

[PimDoos]

Are these device types one of the supported platforms? For ex. sensors and covers are not yet supported by the integration.

Lots are switches. There are also sensors.

[MilesAheadToo]

In the end I restored a backup from last night. Now I have the majority of my Tuya devices running on localtuya.

Unfortunately localtuya does not support climate and other functions of thermostats, and I have 4 Tuya-based thermostats. The device type covered by localtuya are:

• binary sensor
• switch
• light
• cover
• sensor
• switch

Clearly none of these device type is suitable for a thermostat, and the thermostat response time does not need ot be in milliseconds, so I thought I would just leave then on the Tuya cloud-based integration. Huh! Well, what do you know, I reinstalled the default Tuya integration using credentials that were accepted, and now I do not see any devices in the Tuya integration. :-(

Thoughts?

I solved the problem, the way in the pictures!

I can't find Device Connection Service....

[MilesAheadToo]

Thanks. Your suggestion did help a lot.

However, large part of my Tuya devices still do not show up in HA. I have resorted to localtuya for many devices, particularly switches.

[gjveld]

This solved it for me too! yeah :-)

I my case updating the existing service edition was not enough though. I had to remove the API authorization from the cloud project and add it again. Then it all started working again :-)

One question and maybe feature request: I wondered why I could not see anything in my HA logs about authorization errors...

This is so frustrating. "Native Tuya Integration" has ruined everything. Nothing seems to work anymore, I get some obscure message when trying to install the Tuya 2 integration.

On the IOT platform side, I can't get past the step of scanning the QR code from my iPhone to link the app and my devices to the API. Scanning this:

...yields this on my device:

"Confirm Login" does nothing. Man, I just want to run my switches from Home Assistant. How goddamn complicated do they need to make it?! It worked fine before "native integration".

[PimDoos]

"You cannot scan the QR code to add a device deployed in another data center" exactly explains what's wrong. You need to adjust your Cloud Project's datacenter region on iot.tuya.com. Seeing as your provider is Canadian, I would guess you need to add either (or both) Western / Eastern American Datacenter to your project.

[SdeGeata]

Hello @PimDoos!

Thanks for your help. I tried both Eastern America and Western America, individually and together. All scenarios yield the same result, the same error message.

"You cannot scan the QR code to add a device deployed in another data center" exactly explains what's wrong. You need to adjust your Cloud Project's datacenter region on iot.tuya.com.

[danielbrunt57]

I am in Canada and selected Western America Data Center and successfully scanned and authorized in the app. I have one device visible in cloud and have successfully added the integration to HA but no devices are appearing. I added Eastern America Data Center to the mix but still no device.

[SdeGeata]

OK! I managed to get it to work on my end. I hadn't noticed the dropdown menu on the "Link Tuya App Account" tab. The one in the upper right.

So @PimDoos suggestion was good, I just needed to be a bit less flustered or more observent on my end... so API and App synced.

On the Home Assistant side, I was still getting issues with the Tuya-2 integration, so I opted to use LocalTuya instead - a much quicker, local option.

I got the device local_keys through the API interface, as per the directions in this YouTube video:

Hope that helps somebody. In any case, my Tuya switches are now up and running.

I have same error...

but i cant

I can't find Device Connection Service....

Go to https://iot.tuya.com and login. Select "Cloud" on the left panel, then "My Services" and you should see it under "All Services":

[danielbrunt57]

Thanks. I am subscribed to that service...

[danielbrunt57]

I ended up finding my device ID and key using codetheweb / tuyapi and went the Local Tuya route...
