Tuya setup

Tuya-based plugs and switches are popular budget smart-home devices. M2C2 typically integrates via Tuya Cloud APIs or a local gateway depending on your build.

Cloud setup (typical)

Create / use your Tuya Developer account and cloud project (vendor docs change — follow the version pinned in your M2C2 release notes).
Link your Smart Life app account to the cloud project.
In M2C2 open Settings → Smart Home → Tuya.
Enter Access ID, Access Secret, Region endpoint, and device IDs as required.
Run Test connection — devices should list.

⚠️ Warning: Cloud credentials are powerful. Store them only on the Pi’s protected config, not in public git repos. Rotate keys if leaked.

Local control (advanced)

Some communities use tinytuya / local keys for LAN control. This can reduce latency but breaks when vendors rotate keys — maintain backups.

ℹ️ Note: Tuya’s policies and app flows change frequently. Treat this page as conceptual; follow the exact wizard shipped with your M2C2 version.

Troubleshooting

Devices missing
Resync cloud inventory; confirm devices are online in Smart Life app.

Switches flip back
Two controllers fighting (cloud automation + local script) — disable duplicate automations.
