Hi All,
Bargain outlet near me had a bunch of the “monster smart illuminessence” stuff at a price that made me try one.
A few hours later and I have them running properly on LocalTuya. I went and scooped up a bunch more given the success.
My question is: When is the local key issued and when does it change?
I’d like to get them all taken care of and put in the box with key written down so I can delete the official tuya app, and also not have to worry about if Tuya will change it’s dev policy so I can’t get access to the keys anymore.
As a side note, I’ll give Tuya credit, I can easily see where that is a great tool for folks looking to offer smart goods… it’s also exactly why I’ll always be local only.
Sure! I clicked around a lot, but I think I went with this one: as a guide.
I’d still avoid Tuya as much as possible, the whole thing depends on their app and dev portal, so you’re held to their whim. Also if you are doing smart bulbs, definitely let me know. Mapping the data points for them to function isnt terrible, but it’s a bit un-intuitive.
No we have a baby monitor that I would really like to secure more, but I thought it impossible. Thanks! I’ll check that out!
I haven’t found the need to map anything with local tuya for my bulbs. I set it to Auto and it’s done a good job this far.
