Idea: Emulate tuya device with tuyapi

[gunnicom]

I just thought if maybe it is possible/and or a good idea to emulate a tuya device with tuyapi.
So you can listen on port 6668 and get the messages from a local running app like Smart life.
So, you remove your hardware plug to make it inactive, then start an emulation on your PC with the known ID and localKey.

It's possible, and I'd like to make a virtual stub device for automated tests in the future; but I'm not sure how useful a full-blown emulation would be.

What would you want to use it for?

[gunnicom]

It was just an idea. No use for now, as i started with tuya device just two days ago. Maybe it will be not useful at all, but if it is easy to implement, maybe someone will find a use for it :D

Ok.

It's an interesting idea, but I'm going to close this issue for now. If I eventually get around to adding a stub simulated Tuya device for testing I might consider adding something like this as well.

Yes that is ok, as said was just an idea. But got another one already. I try to learn about node red and build a node red node from tuyapi. But i still have no clue how to do it :D

can someone guide me how to do this? I have a use-case in mind.

@WisdomSky information in this issue is very outdated. 😛

There's a stub implementation here that you can use.
Also, see this test file for TuyAPI that uses the stub module for some example code.

Please open a new issue if you need further help.
