Credentials

In order to use the plugin, you need to find out your "Tuya ID / API Key" and your "Tuya Key / API Secret". Here is a great tutorial how you can generate your credentials.

Once you have your credentials, you just have to add it to your config.json, thats it.

Endpoints / DPS

This plugin uses the great TuyApi module. If you have problems switching the state, changing color, changing rotation etc., you can change the "endpoints" manually via config.json.

These "endpoints" are also called dps. The plugin uses the following (default) endpoints/dps:

• 20 = Power State (true/false)
• 21 = Mode ('white', 'colour', 'scene')
• 22 = Laser Brightness (10 - 1000)
• 24 = Color (HSB/V)
• 25 = Scene
• 26 = Countdown (Seconds) (currently not implemented)
• 101 = Star Rotation Speed (10 - 1000)
• 102 = Laser State (true/false)
• 103 = Color State (true/false)
