Tuya requires regular revalidation after 2024.2.1 update

[rleatherb]

The problem

After installing version 2024.2.1 of Home Assistant, where the Tuya account setup changed, I successfully validated my account via SmartLife and all was fine. However, on two separate occasions since then, Home Assistant has disconnected from Tuya. There was no apparent warning, but Tuya devices just didn't work from Home Assistant. On restarting Home Assistant (but not before), on each occasion there was a system message that I needed to revalidate my account, which I did using the QR code. Once revalidated all Tuya devices worked again.

Revalidating my Tuya account every week is simply unworkable. The QR code method means I cannot do this when out of the office as you need a display for the QR code and your phone to input this into SmartLife. Between the connection failing and revalidation no automations involving Tuya devices work, which is unacceptable. The "old" Tuya authentication method worked without issue prior to the latest release.

Am I the only one finding this?

It happened again today.

Home Assistant appeared to be locked up and I couldn't connect. After restarting it seems that all Tuya devices had stopped responding some time before I needed to restart.

The first time I tried I also got the following error, which persisted until I restarted Home Assistant again, after which I finally managed to reauthenticate successfully.

[HaraldGithub]

Same here after update from 2024.2.1 to 2024.2.2

But it happened only once after update. After the next restart of HA, there was no new authentication required.

[ancjsd]

This is occurring frequently for me on restarting Home Assistant.

[gmhall506]

All my Tuya lights say “Entity not available.”

All my Tuya lights say “Entity not available.”

If you don't have a "reauthenticate integration" showing under settings, it might appear after restarting Home Assistant. Not a solution, but might get your Tuya integration working again

[matthewbarr]

I just had this happen. I will say.. this is reinforcing my desire to avoid all wifi devices, and I just ordered 2 tuya zigbee smart plugs instead.

[syersjr]

I am also having this problem, Tuya authentication required - I have the Tuya app, my Tuya developers account seems fine. I have spent hours trying to get the Tuya QR code to get accepted by the Tuya app, Tried everything showing QR code on my iPad, changing my DNS servers back to 8.8.8.8 (Google) - I can't get past the Home Assistant Tuya QR code, keep getting the QR code has expired, please refresh and try again. I would like to be able to skip the QR code and enter my Tuya User Code directly into the Home Assistant Tuya integration.

[jorenmartijn]

I have had this happen a few times too on my new HA install on TrueNAS Scale. It's the only integration that has these problems and it's annoying to have to reload the integration (twice) each time to get it to function properly again. Maybe I should figure out how to do a local control instead. But I'd rather the integration just worked properly instead. Hope you guys can figure it out. Thanks. :)

[Jmphiphi85]

I have similar problem, Yesterday After update

[dvinciguerra]

When I update my Home Assistant, the Tuya integration notify that I need to reconfigure.

Then, I tried to reconfigure, but the QR Code doesn't load properly.

To try solve the problem, I opened browser devtool at network tab and proceed to generate QR Code until the rendering error.

Next, I get the response payload and find by an auth token.

When I found, I copied the token and generate the QR Code using a secure app.

I opened the smart life app and scan QR Code generated.

Now I'm about 2 days with my integration running stable again. =)

[gmhall506]

A couple of things that stumped me.

1. I have both the Smart Life app and The Tuya app. The auth code is different on each.

2. Also, when the browser shows the QR code, on a the mobile app you need to back up two screens, choose the scan icon from the top right, scan the code and click submit back on home assistant.

Any updates on this issue? Been having the same problem since the 2024.2 update, So far the only lasting solution is downgrading the update to 2024.1.~ otherwise one would have to keep reloading the integration or restart HA continuously in order for some automations to work.

I have attempted ALL the steps and/or solutions suggested. Yes, my automations seem to work at first, and yes the states and entities are available but then for some reason they just cease to work. For instance after reloading the integration the motion sensors turn on the lights as expected, however, when the sensor is cleared the lights remain on indefinitely until I manually turn them off or reload the integration or restart my instance.

Any assistance or suggestion will be much appreciated.

Edit** Note: This is neither a configuration nor authentication issue.

[AriaRobav]

I am also having this problem (Tuya authentication required every reboot) also after updating to 2024.2.2 version.

[sjc073]

This is happening to me too. Every time I update HA I get the following notification. Authentication expired for “username”

Core - 2024.2.5 Supervisor - 2024.02.0 Operating System - 12.0 Frontend - 20240207.1

[AlainPeccable]

Same here since last update, prior to that it was working fine. Core: 2024.2.5 Supervisor: 2024.02.1 Operating System: 12.0 Interface utilisateur: 20240207.1

1. if no immediate action you need to restart again as QR expire and there is no way to regenerate a new one.
2. you need to be using 2 devices as from a mobile phone only you can't reauthenticate.

[n00b12345]

Facing the same issue sadly.

[Mukh-Samum]

I've been facing the same problem since the last update: each HASS reboot needs the Tuya integration to be reauthenticated via QR.

[JDBalogh]

According to https://github.com/tuya/tuya-smart-life : "This project has now officially been integrated into the Home Assistant official project core repository, corresponding to version 2024.2." AKA: No more Tuya "Authenticate" needed - just use Home Assistant to discover and add these devices.

[andreasbuff]

Same problem here!? Yes, Tuya authentication moved to Home Assistant. I 2 deleted whole Tuya integration and installed and authenticated from within the Home Assistant App. BUT after some days, an error Message is poping up, saying "Authentication has expired 1 Month (or so) ago! Need to reauthenticate Tuya?????
I am running two separate HA Instances with 2 separate Smart Life (Tuya, different users) Integrations. Two HWs (identical configuration), same OS- and HA-Levels, but only 1 (one) is showing this error? The other is working fine.. Please help! Thanks

[oopiicaa]

Happened to me today also - my virtual instance for HA was unresponsive, clogging up my CPU. Had to restart the virtual machine. Never happened before.

Core 2024.5.3 Supervisor 2024.05.1 Operating System 12.3

[spanzetta]

Same issue here.. Running HA OS on RPI PI3A+ Any way to fix it?

[spanzetta]

Solved by "forcing" a submit in HA without reading the QRcode in SmarLife app.. then the QRcode is renewed and the reauthentication on SmartLife app did work..

[anderconsu]

Same here

[spanzetta]

It is now happening quite frequently.. Almost every week.. Why?

Same error here;;;

[DareVanReed]

seeing the same here: "net work error = network error:(1010) token is expired"

[ajcorrea]

Solved it doing this:

• Delete the device then adding again.

[DareVanReed]

I had to delete the entire integration, and re add it. Thankfully all the device names stayed the same 👍
