Tuya control over the cloud

This Node.js API allows you to control your Tuya / Smart Life Devices by just passing your email and password, that you are using in the Tuya/Smart Life app. This library is using an Tuya API endpoint, that was specially designed for Home Assistant.

A good reference of the capibilities is the tuyaha project, which actually is a library, written in python.

• Install Node.js
• Clone repository
• cd to repository folder
• Run npm i
• Create a keys.json file (see example below)
• Run node example.js

This example will turn off the first device you've set up in Tuya / Smart Life. Also a devices.json file will get created with a list of all your devices and it's current state.

The following shows a basic script how you can turn on a lamp and set it's brightness

const api = new CloudTuya({ userName: apiKeys.userName, password: apiKeys.password, bizType: apiKeys.bizType, countryCode: apiKeys.countryCode, region: apiKeys.region, }); await api.login(); deviceId = devices[0].id; var myLight = new Light({ api: api, deviceId: deviceId}); myLight.turnOn(); myLight.setBrightness(80); var brightness = await myLight.getBrightness();

Take a look at the example.js file, to see how to call the cloudtuya API.

{ "userName": "YOURSMARTLIFEEMAIL", "password": "YOURSMARTLIFEPASSWORD", "bizType": "smart_life", "countryCode": "44", "region": "eu" }

The following values are available

• bizType: tuya, smart_life
• countryCode: Enter the country calling code from your country, e.g. 44
• region: az (Americas), ay (Asia), eu (Europe), us (United States)
