MCP Community Begins Work on Official MCP Metaregistry
The MCP community is launching an official registry to standardize AI tool discovery and let agents dynamically find and install MCP servers.
[](https://travis-ci.org/clach04/python-tuya)
NOTE I'm no longer using these devices so this is not actively maintained. https://github.com/codetheweb/tuyapi node.js based is active and being updated on a regular basis.
Python 2.7 and Python 3.6.1 interface to ESP8266MOD WiFi smart devices from Shenzhen Xenon.
If you are using the Jinvoo Smart App, this allows local control over the LAN.
NOTE requires the devices to have already been **activated** by Jinvoo Smart App (or similar).
## Key extraction
https://github.com/clach04/python-tuya/wiki has background information for how to get device id and local key.
(the device id can be seen in Jinvoo Smart App, under "Device Info").
Known to work with:
* SKYROKU SM-PW701U Wi-Fi Plug Smart Plug - see https://wikidevi.com/wiki/Xenon_SM-PW701U
* Wuudi SM-S0301-US - WIFI Smart Power Socket Multi Plug with 4 AC Outlets and 4 USB Charging
Demo:
import pytuya
d = pytuya.OutletDevice('DEVICE_ID_HERE', 'IP_ADDRESS_HERE', 'LOCAL_KEY_HERE')
data = d.status() # NOTE this does NOT require a valid key
print('Dictionary %r' % data)
print('state (bool, true is ON) %r' % data['dps']['1']) # Show status of first controlled switch on device
# Toggle switch state
switch_state = data['dps']['1']
data = d.set_status(not switch_state) # This requires a valid key
if data:
print('set_status() result %r' % data)
# on a switch that has 4 controllable ports, turn the fourth OFF (1 is the first)
data = d.set_status(False, 4)
if data:
print('set_status() result %r' % data)
print('set_status() extrat %r' % data[20:-8])
TODO demo timer (with comment not all devices support this, one way to check, is to check Jinvoo Smart App and see if there is a clock icon that is not dimmed out).
### Encryption notes
These devices uses AES encryption, this is not available in Python standard library, there are three options:
1) PyCrypto
2) PyCryptodome
3) pyaes (note Python 2.x support requires https://github.com/ricmoo/pyaes/pull/13)
