TuyaDevice

Represents a Tuya device.

You must pass either an IP or an ID. If you're experiencing problems when only passing one, try passing both if possible.

new TuyaDevice(options: Object)

Extends EventEmitter

Parameters

options

(Object
            = {})

Name	Description
options.ip `String?`	IP of device
options.port `Number` (default `6668`)	port of device
options.id `String?`	ID of device (also called `devId` )
options.gwID `String` (default `''`)	gateway ID (not needed for most devices), if omitted assumed to be the same as `options.id`
options.key `String`	encryption key of device (also called `localKey` )
options.productKey `String?`	product key of device (currently unused)
options.version `Number` (default `3.1`)	protocol version
options.nullPayloadOnJSONError `Boolean` (default `false`)	if true, emits a data event containing a payload of null values for on-device JSON parsing errors
options.issueGetOnConnect `Boolean` (default `true`)	if true, sends GET request after connection is established. This should probably be `false` in synchronous usage.
options.issueRefreshOnConnect `Boolean` (default `false`)	if true, sends DP_REFRESH request after connection is established. This should probably be `false` in synchronous usage.
options.issueRefreshOnPing `Boolean` (default `false`)	if true, sends DP_REFRESH and GET request after every ping. This should probably be `false` in synchronous usage.

Example
