Tuya Web Control (Smart Life from PC)

Python web app to list and control devices from a Tuya/Smart Life account.

What the app does

• Lists all account devices (via Tuya Cloud API)
• Shows each device state (status)
• Lets you send commands:
  • quick switch_1 ON/OFF buttons
  • free-form code + value (JSON) form for all other use cases

Prerequisites

• Python 3.10+
• A project on Tuya IoT Platform with:
  • Client ID (API Key)
  • Client Secret
  • region (eu, us, cn, in)

Installation

python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

Configuration

cp .env.example .env

Edit .env:

TUYA_API_REGION=eu
TUYA_API_KEY=your_client_id
TUYA_API_SECRET=your_secret
TUYA_API_DEVICE_ID=
APP_HOST=127.0.0.1
APP_PORT=8000

TUYA_API_DEVICE_ID is optional, but useful for some accounts/projects.

Run the application

source .venv/bin/activate
python -m app.main

Then open:

• http://127.0.0.1:8000

Docker

Build the image:

docker build -t tuyaweb .

Run the container with your local .env:

docker run --rm -p 8000:8000 --env-file .env tuyaweb

Then open:

• http://127.0.0.1:8000

Optional: if you want to change the host-exposed port:

docker run --rm -p 8080:8000 --env-file .env tuya-web-control

Smart Life login/password: is it possible?

Partially and not reliably. Direct login endpoints are unofficial and may break.

A bootstrap attempt script is provided:

source .venv/bin/activate
python scripts/login_password_bootstrap.py --region eu --username "email@example.com" --password "password"

If this does not work, use the recommended method: Client ID + Client Secret.

Security

• .env is ignored by git (not tracked)
• Never commit your secrets
