Having an issue with the Change DP Code function for an electric fireplace. The code is turning the 'heater' component of the fireplace on and off, but not the actual fireplace lights which is what I want.

Changed the Standard Instructions to DP Instructions. From the IOT tuya dashboard in device debug mode, I can send a JSON command for ' "code": "light", "value": true ', and the fireplace lights turn on (and false turns it off correctly). Following the instructions in the 'Change DP Code' example, which I have done by changing the schema deviceOverrides example by adding "code": "switch" to "newCode": "light", but in the log its still showing 'switch'.

Any idea what I might be doing wrong? Goal is to send a true or false command to the DP code 'light' instead of 'switch'

Any luck @zero1niner? I have been trying to get my fireplace working for quite a while. Sounds like you got further than I, any chance you can reach out for some pointers?

[zero1niner]

@danglez83 , I have not had much luck with this plugin. I wish I better understood the structure of the plugin. All of the documentation is written for people with higher skill levels than I have.

I was able to get the fireplace to turn on the light only (not turning on the heater) with homebridge-tuya-platform-local plugin. Its not perfect yet, but at least I was able to control turning on and off the flame lights without turning on the heater, which is how we will use it 98% of the time. Tonight Ill be testing including this device in my Goodnight scene, and making sure it turns off along with the other devices in that scene.

What I did to get that local version working was to see what code was showing in the log when I turned it on and off from the SmarLife app, then added the code '101' to the 'Dp Active' field, and that got the lights only turning on and off.

Ill keep working on this and report back any progress if that helps you at all.

Actually, similar to you, turning on the flames is all I want to do. I will never use the heater. All the flame colors and brightness levels are already configured the way I like them, I just want to be able to turn the thing on and off and I would be happy. I’m a web developer and still find the docs a bit vague.

I looked in the Tuya logs for turning my fireplace on and off and this is all it shows:

[danglez83]

Finally got mine working! I needed to overwrite the “open” code, which is what my fireplace uses to toggle power, with “switch” code. And that was it. Wish I could just convert the HomeKit control to a switch UI element as opposed to a heater, but I’ll take it.

Excellent! Did you get that working in this plugin, or did you get that in the Tuya Local one?

[danglez83]

I used this one: https://github.com/0x5e/homebridge-tuya-platform

[danglez83]

What errors were you getting, perhaps I can help?
