Fork version of the official Tuya Homebridge plugin, with a focus on fixing bugs and adding new device support.
- Optimized and improved code for better readability and maintainability.
- Enhanced stability.
- Reduced duplicate code.
- Fewer API errors.
- Lower development costs for new accessory categories.
- Supports Tuya Scenes (Tap-to-Run).
- Includes the ability to override device configurations, which enables support for "non-standard" DPs.
- Supports over 60+ device categories, including most light, switch, sensor, camera, lock, IR remote control, etc.
See CHANGELOG.md
Before using this plugin, please make sure to uninstall homebridge-tuya-platform first as these two plugins cannot run simultaneously. However, the configuration files are compatible, so there's no need to delete them.
Go to plugin page, search for @0x5e/homebridge-tuya-platform and install it.
Run the following command in the terminal:
npm install @0x5e/homebridge-tuya-platform
There are two types of projects: Custom and Smart Home.
The difference between them is:
- The
Customproject pulls devices from the project's assets. - The
Smart Homeproject pulls devices from the user's home in the Tuya app.
If you are a personal user and are unsure which one to choose, please use the Smart Home project.
Before you can configure, you must go to the Tuya IoT Platform:
- Create a cloud development project, and select the data center where your app account is located. See Mappings Between OEM App Accounts and Data Centers
- Go to the
Project Page>Devices Panel>Link Tuya App Account, and link your app account. - Go to the
Project Page>Service API>Go to Authorize, and subscribe to the following APIs (it is free for trial):- Authorization Token Management
- Device Status Notification
- IoT Core
- IoT Video Live Stream (for cameras)
- Industry Project Client Service (for the
Customproject) - IR Control Hub Open Service (for IR devices)
- Smart Home Scene Linkage (for scenes)
- Smart Lock Open Service (for Lock devices)
⚠️ Remember to extend the API trial period every 6 months here Tuya IoT Platform > Cloud > Cloud Services > IoT Core (the first-time subscription only gives you 1 month).

⚠️ Don't forget to extend the API trial period every 6 months. Maybe you can set up a reminder in calendar.- Using the same app account for multiple Homebridge/HomeAssistant instances is not supported. Please use separate app accounts for each instance.
- The plugin requires an internet connection to the Tuya Cloud and does not support the LAN protocol. See #90 for more information.
For most users, you can easily find your app account's data center through the documentation and login without any issues. However, for some users, they may encounter error codes such as 1106 or 2406. If you encounter such errors, it's possible that there are differences between your data center and the documentation.
To determine the data center, follow these steps:
- Open the app and navigate to "Me > Settings > Network Diagnosis".
- Start the diagnosis and select "Upload Log > Copy the Log to Clipboard".
- Paste the log anywhere and find the line beginning with "Region code:".
- Look for the following codes: "AY" for China, "AZ" for the West US, "EU" for Central Europe, and "IN" for India.
Then manually specify endpoint in the plugin config.
"Standard DP" refers to device properties or functionalities that are specified in the Tuya IoT Development Platform documentation at Tuya IoT Development Platform Documentation > Cloud Development > Standard Instruction Set.
For example, a light bulb should have a standard DP code of switch_led for power on/off, and optional codes bright_value/bright_value_v2 for brightness, temp_value/temp_value_v2 for color temperature, and work_mode for changing the working mode. These codes can be found in the above documentation.
If your light bulb can be adjusted in the Tuya app but not with the plugin, it most likely has "Non-standard DP."
Yes. The device must be listed in the support list and the following steps must be completed before it will work:
- Change the device's control mode on the Tuya Platform:
- Go to "Tuya Platform Cloud Development > Your Project > Devices > All Devices > View Devices by Product".
- Find the product related to your device, click the "pencil" icon (Change Control Instruction Mode).
-
- In the "Table of Instructions", you can see the cloud mapping and determine which DP codes are missing and need to be manually mapped later.
-
- Select "DP Instruction" and save.
- Override the device schema, see ADVANCED_OPTIONS.md.
See #90.
Although the plugin didn't implemented tuya local protocol now, it still remains possibility in the future.
If your device is not supported, please follow these steps to collect information.
After Homebridge has been successfully launched, the device information list will be saved in Homebridge's persist path. You can find the file path in the Homebridge log:
[2022/11/3 18:37:43] [TuyaPlatform] Device list saved at /path/to/TuyaDeviceList.{uid}.json
ip, lon, lat, local_key, and uid before submitting the file.
Add debug option in the plugin config, then restart Homebridge.
With debug mode enabled, you can now receive MQTT logs. Operate your device, either physically or through the Tuya App, to receive MQTT logs like this:
[2022/12/8 12:51:59] [TuyaPlatform] [TuyaOpenMQ] onMessage:
topic = cloud/token/in/xxx
protocol = 4
message = {
"dataId": "xxx",
"devId": "xxx",
"productKey": "xxx",
"status": [
{
"1": "double_click",
"code": "switch1_value",
"t": "1670475119766",
"value": "double_click"
}
]
}
If you are unable to receive any MQTT logs while controlling the device, it likely means that your device has "Non-standard DP".
By submitting the device information JSON and MQTT logs, you can help us support new device categories.
