Sylvania Smart+ WiFi A19 Smart Bulbs

[JAudi23]

I have 4 of these bulbs (Sylvania Smart+ WiFi A19) that are able to connect using the "Sylvania Smart WiFi" app but not the Tuya "Smart Life" app.
I know these are Tuya, due to the similarities between the two apps mentioned above.
In addition, the native Tuya integration in HA, detects the bulbs, and prompts to add the integration/device.

The LocalTuya integration does not see the bulbs, as they do not report in to the Tuya IoT dashboard.

Any suggestions on how, or if it's even possible to get these added into HA?

How come HA official integration detect the bulbs? does your bulbs shows in IoT Devices page?
After checking more it seems you can't use both Sylvania Smart WiFi APP and localtuya together ? it seems you need to link your bulbs to Tuya with Smart Link linking-a-tuya-device-with-smart-link

I will try the Smart Link option, but I think I ran into problems finding the local Key using that process as well.

I'm trying to follow these instructions for Smart Link, but I'm stuck at step 4. I'm unable to find the API Group link.

4. On the same page, click "API Group" on the left side. Change the status to Open for the following three API Groups by clicking "Apply" for each line, entering any reason, and clicking "OK": "Authorization Management", "Device Management", "Device Control", "User Management", "Network Management", "Data Service" and "Device Statistics". It can take 10-15 minutes for these changes to take effect.

I really don't have the same device to dig more into this, But you can check this post it might help you. https://community.home-assistant.io/t/sylvania-smart-wifi/223985/67 .

I just checked again, and this version of LocalTuya does see them when I try to add a new device, however the Local Key is not pulled.

[xZetsubou]

Did you link the device to Tuya?

[JAudi23]

No, the Tuya integration still shows it as discovered.

[xZetsubou]

To be honest I don't know what happen into Tuya integration 😅 it shouldn't be discovered since the device isn't even in Tuya IoT,
Either the integration's bugged discovery or maybe it's another device?.

LocalTuya pulls local key from Tuya IoT so the device need to be linked with Tuya in order of LA be able to pull device information.

Have you ran into an issues when pairing the device with tuya using smart link?

[JAudi23]

I got it working with localtuya, using this script which provides the local keys for you.

Weird it works similar way of how localtuya pulls local keys.
Did local tuya discovered the device for or you insert all data manually

[JAudi23]

I had the lights connected to the Sylvania Smart Wifi app ( which is just a rebranded Smart Life app.
In the LocalTuya integration I added them using the second option (manual) and it picked up the details except for the local key.
The script I mentioned above provides the local keys which I entered and they added no problem.
I do need to enter the attributes manually for brightness, etc like you helped with on another post.

I was about to tell you that you can try the beta version since I added Auto Configure option which kinda works similar to HA Tuya.

It seems that localtuya could actually pull your device localkey but since localtuya only pulls the keys for the devices that he discovered not manually added it didn't insert it for you.
Thanks for let me know maybe I should

EDIT:
It seems that the script is actually works kinda different xD thanks for mentioning it.

[JAudi23]

I did try the autoconfigure option first but it came back with a blank error box.

[JAudi23]

These same devices were offline for a while, in a box, and when I tried to reactivate them in HA, they are not working, any suggestions on how to get them back?
I see them working fine in the Sylvania Smart WiFi App, just showing as unavailable in HA Local Tuya Integration.

I tried removing one completely from the app, and re-added it, but now this integration can't pull the Local Key so I'm stuck and can't get it connected.
