Hi All,
Bargain outlet near me had a bunch of the “monster smart illuminessence” stuff at a price that made me try one.
A few hours later and I have them running properly on LocalTuya. I went and scooped up a bunch more given the success.
My question is: When is the local key issued and when does it change?
I’d like to get them all taken care of and put in the box with key written down so I can delete the official tuya app, and also not have to worry about if Tuya will change it’s dev policy so I can’t get access to the keys anymore.
As a side note, I’ll give Tuya credit, I can easily see where that is a great tool for folks looking to offer smart goods… it’s also exactly why I’ll always be local only.
Yeah, but I think you see why many people avoid them. I
have two Sengled zigbee bulbs (note they also make wifi bulbs, so be careful) that have been outside in fixtures on the porch for a few years now, and I’ve never had a hiccup. And we get pretty extreme ranges of temperatures here - single digits to nearly 100 F.
These are what I have, but there are other brands too.
