general question: local http requests to tuya device?
Hey guys,
I'm delighted that I found tinytuya, I have a Moes Smart Wifi Dimmer and it looks (for now) that I am able to somehow control and read it via tinytuya. The more I read about tuya environment, I see openAPIs specs and wonder, if it's possible to control the device by pure local http requests. Can somebody point me to a doc or the api spec that is really working directly to the device and not to the cloud?
when I'm in the tuya api explorer, I see on the right a curl command with url, e.g. https://openapi.tuyaeu.com/v2.0/cloud/thing/b...
since tuya devices offer a local api on port 6668, I wonder, how to modify this url to the local ip and send the request to the device
The curl commands are for the cloud API. The devices locally do not use http, thus the need for this library to communicate with them locally.
Hi @Hans-Maulwurf, if you want more details on the protocol (how Tuya devices are accessed via the local API), you might like this great write up by @uzlonewolf : https://github.com/jasonacox/tinytuya/discussions/260
