Cloud vs. Local Keys

[pannal]

Hey there, I'm happily using this addon with two Fingerbot Plus's.

Just recently I got a message from Tuys that my API subscription runs out - apparently one can request an extension for 6 months. I'd rather not have to do that regularly, though.

Looking at the code it seems like the Local Keys get stored from the Tuya API response.

1. Does this integration still work when the cloud credentials expire?
2. Is it possible to store/look at the Local Keys somewhere?
3. Can this integration work with Local Keys only? Maybe in the future?

Thank you!

Hi, good questions, it should be added to readme file.

1. Yes, it must work. Any of the currently supported device types doesn't require login to the cloud to work properly. It is possible that full support of the lock devices will require the login.
2. Integration stores all device credentials, you can find it in /config/.storage/core.config_entries file.
3. Yes, it's possible. Device credentials which are required to "pair" the device: uuid, device_id, local_key. Is it possible to obtain all of it from Tuya IOT website by browser without using API?

Hey, thank you!

1. Awesome. I think this should be explicitly stated in the README.
2. It used to, but apparently not anymore. But in case of data loss or accidental deletion of a device, a manual local setup would definitely make sense.

Agree, will try to add such option in configuration flow.
