If you have some Pthyon experience, you should be able to use something like TinyTuya to pull DP data from your Tuya devices. Alternatively, you can use Tuya-Cloudcutter to flash a local-only firmware like ESPHome/LibreTiny or OpenBeken which have much easier integration options (local open API, HTTP, MQTT, etc).

You can flash the bk7231n directly with ESPHome using LibreTiny-ESPHome. You can even do it without soldering using Tuya Cloudcutter if you have a Raspberry Pi handy.

OpenBeken has their own list for BK7231N, BK7231T, XR809, BL602, T34, W800/W801, W600/W601 based devices. Tuya-Cloudcutter has a similar list for such devices as well.

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.

One option to get control of your tuya devices is tuya cloud cutter then replace the firmware https://github.com/tuya-cloudcutter/tuya-cloudcutter

For many vulnerable/compatible device, you can use CloudCutter to OTA flash as well.
is it possible to make tuya devices local? aka plug bulbs smart doorbell smart floodlight if so how im stuck

You can set them up locally like RFD recommended: https://github.com/tuya-cloudcutter/tuya-cloudcutter/blob/main/INSTRUCTIONS.md

Lastly, there is a https://github.com/tuya-cloudcutter/tuya-cloudcutter application that can let you flash ota for devices that have been done already.
Is it possible to flash the newest Tuya firmware?

Use tuya-cloudcutter or direct flash.

How can I compile this code for ESP8266?
1 project | /r/esp8266 | 27 Jan 2023

I'm not 100% sure it's the same API that you're using, and this is just from memory and brief clicking in the sources. For OpenBekken, you use both the hardware SDK (they have a modified fork for the BK7231N chip at https://github.com/openshwprojects/OpenBK7231T -- this is not the same as the ESP8266) and the app (the link I gave previously). For building, you specify the app that you want to build.
Should this be flashable?
1 project | /r/tasmota | 8 Feb 2022

There are some guys working on a firmware for that chip otherwise you can swap in an esp. https://github.com/openshwprojects/OpenBK7231T
Tasmota replacement for BK7231T (WB2S, WB3S, etc) first release! MQTT and Home Assistant support, no need to recompile, just use UART to USB converter to flash! Use Hotspot to configure your WiFi connection, and use pins configurator to setup device template for your specific device!
