Tuya Home Assistant Integration Tutorial

In today's video I will show you how to control Tuya devices from Home Assistant. I'll use this 4 inch WiFi RGBW Led Downlight from Zemismart https://amzn.to/2SpJE4P, but you can use the same approach for any #Tuya compatible device out there.

Some Questions:
Let's start with some basic questions like:
What is Tuya?
This is an IoT platform that enables bradns and manufacturers to provide one common solution for their clients to control their products remotely.
In other words if you see on a product that is Tuya compatible, that means you can control that product with your phone via #TuyaSmart application which is available for free in your smart phone store.

Why to integrate Tuya devices with #HomeAssistant?
You may ask yourself why should I care to integrate a Tuya device with Home Assistant when I can use the TuyaSmart app? And this is pretty reasonable question, but at the end of the day you may want (at least I do) to have all of your smart devices in one place, so you can make better scenes and automations.

To complete this tutorial you will need:
* Smashed Like button for the YouTube algorithm, but really it takes only 2 seconds

* TuyaSmart app installed (from your mobile phone sore) with added some devices inside

Steps:
In Home Assistant:
You will need your Tuya account information (username, password and account country code) to discover and control your devices.
Your account country code, e.g., 1 for USA or 86 for China, again enquoted. https://www.countrycode.org/

Add your Tuya devices into your Home Assistant installation, add the following to your configuration.yaml file:

tuya:
username: YOUR_TUYA_USERNAME
password: YOUR_TUYA_PASSWORD
country_code: YOUR_ACCOUNT_COUNTRYCODE

Then restart your Home Assistant

To add the device on your Home Assistant Dashboard - create a card by clicking on "Configure UI" in the upper right corner, then on the "+" button in the lower right corner and choose "ENTITIES"

After that choose your Tuya device in the "Entity" dropdown menu and click "Save".
