eggzlot Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 Question as I am just setting up Tuya now. Everywhere I look the free trial mentions 1 month, and the paid prices are obviously for corporate use, not personal use 1) Does the free trial expire after 1 month? 2) is there a way to get more API calls without paying $25,000/year or more? https://developer.tuya.com/en/docs/iot/membership-service?id=K9m8k45jwvg9j Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

416to305 Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 I have this question also as I was looking at Tuya shades. The link above says it starts at $1,500.00 a month for the cloud API access, not sure if that's for companies integrating their app or for end users, but when I google "tuya API" it takes me to the link eggzlot linked to above. I'm assuming this must be for developers that are integrating their own apps or something as I can't see many residential customers paying $1,500.00 a month as it says "max 75,000" devices lol. I have ZigBee Tuya shade controllers and I just find it so buggy all the time so was thinking of switching them for the Wifi version to try this driver but then saw this so wanted to check too.

alanchow Posted May 5, 2022 Author Share Posted May 5, 2022 Tuya guys advised us that the free trial will be automatically extended only for Chowmain customers. At present it has to be manually extended however if you provide us with the developer details we can get the Tuya guys to action it on your behalf. Just reach out to us via support ticket or the contact us page on our website with the developer details. eggzlot and Dueport 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kannan_g Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 Hi Alan/Andrew, I’m getting my integrator to add a bunch of Tuya wifi lights using your driver. I also have an IR controlled RGB light and was wondering if the Tuya driver works with wifi smarthubs like this - https://near.sg/collections/smart-home/products/universal-remote Near uses Tuya for all its lighting products etc, and I think(?) the smarthub is also a Tuya device.

G'day, for your IR RGB Light if you require wireless IR, one option would be to use LOOKin Remote (which also has BT HID keyboard support) In regards to using Tuya IR hubs however, they haven't been tested, but for many Control4 Applications, they may potentially be unsuitable. You could then combine with https://chowmain.software/drivers/control4-generic-lighting-driver . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kannan_g Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 Thanks for the info about the LOOKin Remote. I’ll lookin to it … Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Palmer Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 Tuya driver is not available on Chowmain or Driver Central. We have a client who is unable to control their lights at the moment. Did something happen recently or anyone know what is going on? SaiS 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a client who is unable to control their lights at the moment. Did something happen recently or anyone know what is going on? G'day. The Tuya driver has been withdrawn from market. If you message me your email address, I'll provide more info on why and the latest build 20220616 which resolves an issue some systems had with one of the builds which is probably the problem here (on some systems it caused a build system error shown in console, or a driver init error which was due to a variable which didn't exist on some systems). Keep in mind, that all existing Tuya drivers must be upgraded by the end of July to ensure continued operation to a version 20220616 or later. We have pushed the latest update to controllers, but all existing installations with the tuya driver should be manually checked before that period ends to ensure they are running the new driver, and are operational as the auto update might not be applied in some cases. The new driver triggers a migration which must happen before the cut off date. Hope that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WOOLY1982 Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 HI, My Tuya driver has stopped working in the last few days (not sure exactly when). I am not an installer, i have composer home and can see it is coming up with issues, but don't know what it means. This is the notified status when i look at the driver below. This one is the current driver: and this one is the Lua output which is showing the error: i have logged in to my tuya portal and looks fine. the devices all work fine when i activate from outside C4. SO not sure what the issue is or what i can do about it? Sorry if it is a really stupid question, but has anyone had the same issue, and how did you resolve?

Andrew luecke Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 G'day, I've messaged you directly with more info, but 20220616 should hopefully hit your controller soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thegizzard Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Does anyone have any background here on the Tuya driver? Is there a replacement or alternative for controling tuya devices from control4? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you get your Tuya manufacturer to contact us, we can work with them and Tuya potentially to make a custom driver which will continue working. Otherwise, there aren't really any good options Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaphod Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 Would this Tuya driver allow me to use a Tuya thermometer like this in C4 and grab the temp readings? @Andrew luecke? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004593750562.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In regards to compatibility, we've tested a few thermostats, and many work (but some require a few custom settings). BECA in particular seems to have bugs which affect all 3rd party Tuya drivers (I suspect the bugs vary based on firmware, because we had one I was unable to get working correctly). So, whilst it should work, we are unable to guarantee without testing. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
