Tuya MCU

The tuya component creates a serial connection to the Tuya MCU for platforms to use.

The tuya serial component requires a UART bus to be configured. Put the tuya component in the config and it will list the possible devices for you in the config log.

# Make sure logging is not using the serial port
logger:
  baud_rate: 0

uart:
  rx_pin: GPIO3
  tx_pin: GPIO1
  baud_rate: 9600

Here is an example output for a Tuya fan controller:

Configuration variables:

  • time_id (Optional, ID): Some Tuya devices support obtaining local time from ESPHome. Specify the ID of the Time Component which will be used.

  • status_pin (Optional, Pin Schema): Some Tuya devices support WiFi status reporting ONLY through gpio pin. Specify the pin reported in the config dump or leave empty otherwise. More about this here.

  • ignore_mcu_update_on_datapoints (Optional, list): A list of datapoints to ignore MCU updates for. Useful for certain broken/erratic hardware and debugging.

Automations:

  • on_datapoint_update (Optional): An automation to perform when a Tuya datapoint update is received. See on_datapoint_update.

Tuya Automation

on_datapoint_update

This automation will be triggered when a a Tuya datapoint update is received. A variable x is passed to the automation for use in lambdas. The type of x variable is depending on datapoint_type configuration variable:

  • raw: x is std::vector<uint8_t>

  • string: x is std::string

  • bool: x is bool

  • int: x is int

  • uint: x is uint32_t

  • enum: x is uint8_t

  • bitmask: x is uint32_t

  • any: x is tuya::TuyaDatapoint

Configuration variables:

  • sensor_datapoint (Required, int): The datapoint id number of the sensor.

  • datapoint_type (Required, string): The datapoint type one of raw, string, bool, int, uint, enum, bitmask or any.
