This is the https://github.com/keybuk/homebridge-sun-position plugin. It updates the position every 5 minutes. It appears in the Homebridge log every 5 minutes.

Tuya devices, and the Tuya-based Monster, Greeni, etc stuff can be connected to HA using the Tuya Integration, or converted to local-only using Tuya Cloudcutter and connected to HA using Local Tuya, or even flashed with Tasmota, ESPHome/Libre Tiny, or OpenBeken.

It's still on my list of things to try so I don't have personal experience, but I think https://github.com/rospogrigio/localtuya can help you. Maybe start with reading the readme to see what limitations exist for Tuya devices.

We got some cheap Tuya bulbs from Kogan. Unfortunately they were too new to flash with tuya-convert, but they can still be controlled locally through Home Assistant with localtuya.
Fed up with Tuya strip lights. Never works properly. Is there any other way to add them to homekit. Tuya homebridge plugins are not great.
1 project | /r/homebridge | 25 Jan 2023

There is the [Local Tuya](https://github.com/rospogrigio/localtuya) integration for Home Assistant. This will eliminate the cloud dependency of the Tuya devices you have. Once you have them in Home Assistant you can expose them to HomeKit just like HomeBridge does.

Don't the Treatlife devices just use the Tuya backend? If so, you can add them directly to HA using the cloud based official Tuya Integration, or the local-only Local Tuya via HACS.
