Hi everyone, I’ve been experimenting with both Local Tuya and the standard Tuya integration in my Home Assistant setup. I wanted to share my findings and see if anyone has encountered a similar issue or has a solution.
I set up my Smart Life switches and relays using both integrations and tested their behavior during a power outage. Here’s what I observed:
Local Tuya:
- The entities went offline almost immediately after the power cut, which is great for accurate status updates.
- Upon power restoration, the devices came back online, and all switches were turned off, which is the desired behavior.
Standard Tuya Integration:
- The entities took about 4 minutes to go offline after the power outage, which felt a bit slow.
- After power was restored, the devices came back online, but here’s the catch: any switches or relays that were previously on remained on, even though the Smart Life app showed them as off and the physical devices were indeed off. This inconsistency persisted in Home Assistant for several hours until I manually refreshed the integration or toggled the switches again.
I’d really prefer to stick with the standard Tuya integration because it’s simpler when dealing with multiple devices. Does anyone have any ideas on how to resolve this issue? I’m curious if others have faced this and how they’ve worked around it. Thanks in advance for your insights!
