homebridge-tuya-lan VS homebridge-tuya

On my iPhone the smart life app from tuya does not seem to detect the bulb when it's blinking. But the wipro app does. Now according to these setup instructions I need the tuya app, so that I can intercept the key and ID.

See step 5 onwards https://github.com/AMoo-Miki/homebridge-tuya-lan/wiki/Setup-Instructions

After that one was sorted I found the homebridge-tuya-lan plugin and started messing with it untill I got the configurations right. For that you will have to read the how to very carefully as, for example, my hama RGBW light uses 1-1000 as a scale and not 1-255 and the parameter names were also not the same as the default tuya.

I'd MUCH prefer to get this Tuya app off my phone completely, and also NOT have their IoT service(s) communicating with my HomeBridge. Is it not possible to use this in a much less complicated way? I saw this tutorial from the AMoo-Miki/homebridge-tuya-lan plugin, but that all sounds even crazier. Installing trust certificates on my phone, etc...

Sorry, here's the plugin tuya lan

You could use a different Homebridge plugin for Tuya like this: https://github.com/AMoo-Miki/homebridge-tuya-lan#readme

This one: /homebridge-tuya-lan

homebridge-tuya-lan / homebridge-tuya-web integration [WIP ⌛]

I don’t use Tuya devices but could the Tuya-LAN plugin be the solution without flashing new firmware? https://github.com/AMoo-Miki/homebridge-tuya-lan

Use LAN/local network based ones such as this one instead. Local connection also means much faster respond times.

I used github.com/iRayanKhan/homebridge-tuya but some devices did not work.

So with regards local control using iRayanKhan's plugin. It's not actively supported currently, last update was June 2021. Also, the github page does say it supports fans, but when I try and configure this in homebridge, the pulldown menu to select device type doesn't include fans. I might try and configure via the json.

Here’s the site. Instructions are on the link. Tuya Local

I'm running Homebridge with iRayanKhan's Tuya plugin. https://github.com/iRayanKhan/homebridge-tuya

https://github.com/iRayanKhan/homebridge-tuya is local and works fine. It doesn’t need updating because it has been solid for a long time and supports the latest features like adaptive lighting.
