Tuya Virtual devices

[hiagocosta]

Hi, is it possible add virtual devices under localtuya?

I have a fan that is only work with RF signals, so for me to controlling the fan, I created some scenes on tuya app and control the virtual device in the tuya oficial integration. but i'm looking for remove that integration, because it slows down my HA, even if I let all the devices in the oficial integration deactivated.

I don't need the scenes, only the virtual device, so tuya app handles the control for me

anyone?

You can create virtual devices by making HA template or Node-Red Virtual Device both will works fine if the RF works fine with localtuya then map the template or node-red device and send the RF code for target action

https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/fan.template/

the action shall be the remote and add code in data e.g.

action: remote.send_command
data:
  device: my_fan
  command: fan_turn_on # this device / command already learned

the virtual device was created inside tuya iot, it shows on the app, but I can't add because there is no IP for it, I could get the local key, and device Id, but not the IP to add on localtuya, I will thankful even if the integration could connect to cloud for the control of it

cannot if the devices created on tuya app then it uses Tuya IoT to retrieve codes data, localtuya cannot do that.

You can still use HA official tuya that uses cloud with localtuya.

oh... so do you know if there is some way to not show all devices in tuya official integration? I disabled all the ones that I have on local tuya but I would like to delete from HA

Not sure if it's possible you could delete them from entities json file in config/.storage dir but not sure if they will return or not
