I built Tuyeasie , an Android app that pairs a Tuya device from your phone and imports it into Tuya Local in one pass. It grabs the local key and hands it to the integration. No Tuya developer account, no IoT portal, no tinytuya wizard, and no Smart Life app for a normal plug or bulb.
It covers the case the existing options don't: a device that isn't already in Smart Life. The cloud login, the IoT portal and tinytuya wizard all need the device to exist in an account first.
I reverse engineered the official Tuya app to work out how it does activation and camera setup: the AP and Bluetooth pairing sequence, how it creates and uses an account, and the ONVIF flow, including the IP-mode toggle that makes the camera start its RTSP server.
Wi-Fi AP pairing and Bluetooth-assisted pairing for Wi-Fi + BLE combo devices.
Phone and Home Assistant need to be on the same network.…
