TuyAPI 🌧 🔌

A library for communicating with devices that use the Tuya cloud network. These devices are branded under many different names, but if port 6668 is open on your device chances are this library will work with it. Currently only supports smart plugs, but it should be fairly trivial to add other types of devices.

Installation

npm install @codetheweb/tuyapi

Basic Usage

const TuyaDevice = require('tuyapi');

var tuya = new TuyaDevice({
  type: 'outlet',
  ip: 'xxx.yyy.0.zzz',
  id: 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx',
  uid: 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx',
  key: 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'});

tuya.getStatus(function(error, status) {
  if (error) { return console.log(error); }
  console.log('Status: ' + status);

  tuya.setStatus(!status, function(error, result) {
    if (error) { return console.log(error); }
    console.log('Result of setting status to ' + !status + ': ' + result);

    tuya.getStatus(function(error, status) {
      if (error) { return console.log(error); }
      console.log('New status: ' + status);
    });
  });
});

This should report the current status, set the device to the opposite of what it currently is, then report the changed status.

See the setup instructions for how to find the needed parameters.

Docs

See the docs.

TODO

1. Reuse a TCP connection between subsequent commands, instead of creating a new one every time.
2. Figure out what the hex-encoded 'padding' is.
3. Autodiscovery of devices?
