About this driver

Two-way RTI control for the entire Tuya / Smart Life ecosystem — the platform behind thousands of smart-home brands of plugs, switches, bulbs, LED strips, shades, fans, and sensors. Run it two ways: LOCAL talks straight to a Wi-Fi device over your LAN (AES-encrypted, instant, works even with no internet), and CLOUD reaches your whole Tuya account through the Tuya Open API — including Zigbee, Bluetooth, and battery devices that have no network address of their own. Cloud mode auto-discovers your account and exposes each device as a named device with full controls — on/off, brightness, color temperature, full RGB color, cover position, fan speed, energy — reuses a single keep-alive connection to keep the processor cool, and tracks each device's online state plus the cloud link's health. Up to 24 devices per instance; add instances for more, all covered by one license. No Home Assistant box, no MQTT broker — RTI talks to Tuya directly.

What's included

  • Controls the entire Tuya / Smart Life ecosystem — plugs, switches, multi-gang strips, bulbs, LED strips, shades/garage, fans, sensors
  • Two modes: Local (direct LAN, AES-encrypted, instant, offline-capable) or Cloud (whole account, including Zigbee/Bluetooth/battery devices)
  • Cloud auto-discovers your account — just name your devices; no per-device key or IP to chase down
  • Full control surface: on/off, brightness, color temp, RGB color, color brightness, cover position, fan speed/direction, energy, plus raw data points for anything else
  • Efficient cloud transport (HTTP keep-alive) with live online + connection-health feedback
  • Up to 24 devices per instance, unlimited instances — one license per processor covers them all
  • 120-minute MAC-locked free trial — try before you buy

How licensing works

  1. Download the driver (free — button on the right), install it in Integration Designer, and load to your processor. It runs unlocked for 120 minutes per session for compatibility testing.
  2. Buy a license here, then sign in and enter your processor's MAC address on your account page. We issue a signed license key bound to that MAC.
  3. Paste the key into the driver's configuration. The trial wall goes away and the driver runs unlocked indefinitely.
