tuya means one relies on their API keys right? i just love the m5stack and feel safe about updates and apis for the next decades.
If it's zigbee, that shouldn't be a problem. The tuya headache is their wifi stuff.
I'm by no means an expert, and I'm not sure what API keys you are referring to. I know that Tuya smart devices usually have two versions, a wifi and a Zigbee one. The wifi ones require you to add them using a terrible smartphone app, and the integration with Home assistant sucks. The Zigbee ones work like any other zigbee device, locally controlled. I have several Tuya Zigbee devices which works great, they are integrated in home assistant using zigbee2mqtt.
ah ok. i just have one tuya fan left and it uses wifi and i thought all tuya have wifi.
