zombe state reconnecting issue?

[tsightler]

Many (most?) Tuya devices will only accept a single local connection so that could be one issue if, for example, you have a device with the Tuya app running which will also attempt to control the device if Internet is blocked.

That being said, I'm not going to be able to help as I've given up on Tuya devices except in a few places where I'm willing to live with a cloud connection (i.e. I'm using them with other cloud services).

In principle everything works, but I really hate the continued sending of something into the internet, this is really a no-go for me.

Then why purchase a device where that's the only vendor supported mode? Tuya IP based devices are billed as internet controlled smart devices that don't require a hub, not locally controlled devices, and that's what they provide. All attempts to control them locally are mostly exploiting security issues to do so, they are not designed for local control at all.

This is why I've decided not to continue with this project and to only use Tuya devices in cases where Internet based control is already OK since I actually want to control it via the internet so there's really no choice but to have it send data to the internet anyway. Also, I'll still happily use Zigbee based Tuya devices as well, since I can control those locally.

As to your questions, I suggest you look more at other active Tuya projects (there are plenty), such as Tinytuya as I certainly won't have any answers for you. Good luck!
