Tuya Custom Component for testing

Integration ha_tuya_custom

Important: Due to dedicated Tuya API limitation, the refresh interval cannot be faster than 5 minutes (reduced to 1 minute if you have only 1 device). Do not open issue to ask faster refresh because it is not possible.

This custom component is the copy of the component implemented in Home Assistant but some modifications to the library used to communicate with Tuya Cloud have been implemented inside it. The aim is to allow tests on the modified library as quickly as possible and then report the changes in the original library used by HA. Obviously, feedback is important to find an optimal solution

Installation & configuration

You can install this component in two ways: via HACS or manually.

Option A: Installing via HACS

If you have HACS, you must add this repository ("https://github.com/ollo69/ha_tuya_custom") to your Custom Repository selecting the Configuration Tab in the HACS page. After this you can go in the Integration Tab and search the "Tuya Custom" component to configure it.

Option B: Manually installation (custom_component)

1. Clone the git master branch.

2. Unzip/copy the tuya_custom direcotry within the custom_components directory of your homeassistant installation. The custom_components directory resides within your homeassistant configuration directory. Usually, the configuration directory is within your home (~/.homeassistant/). In other words, the configuration directory of homeassistant is where the configuration.yaml file is located. After a correct installation, your configuration directory should look like the following.

   └── ...
   └── configuration.yaml
   └── secrects.yaml
   └── custom_components
       └── tuya_custom
           └── __init__.py
           └── climate.py
           └── ...
   

   Note: if the custom_components directory does not exist, you need to create it.

Component setup

For the configuration use exactly the same options used to configure the standard Tuya component, however choosing the Tuya Custom component from the list of additions.

N.B. Before configuring this integration, remove the standard Tuya integration.

Device parameters (configuration.yaml)

To provide device information that in some case are not correctly provided by the cloud, you can use configuration.yaml file. Following example of supported values:

• For light device:

tuya_custom:
  devices_config:
    - device_name: <Friendly Name of your device in HA> # this is mandatory with at least one of the other keys
      support_color: true # true or false, force color support for device
      brightness_range_mode: 0 # 0 = use brightness range 10-1000
                               # 1 = use brightness range 1-255
      max_color_temp: 10000 # min val = 10000
                            # define the maximum color temp reported by the light to ajust color temp slider 

• For climate device:

tuya_custom:
  devices_config:
    - device_name: <Friendly Name of your device in HA> # this is mandatory with at least one of the other keys
      unit_of_measurement: "C" # "F" or "C", not set to use value provided from cloud
      temp_divider: 1 # any positive number, all temperature values will be divided by this value
      curr_temp_divider: 1  # any positive number, only current temperature values will be divided by this value
      ext_temp_sensor: sensor.temp # a sensor that provide ambient temp used when not provided by device

You can set configuration for multiple devices, adding one list that start with - device_name: for every device
