Hi All,

Bargain outlet near me had a bunch of the “monster smart illuminessence” stuff at a price that made me try one.

A few hours later and I have them running properly on LocalTuya. I went and scooped up a bunch more given the success.

My question is: When is the local key issued and when does it change?

I’d like to get them all taken care of and put in the box with key written down so I can delete the official tuya app, and also not have to worry about if Tuya will change it’s dev policy so I can’t get access to the keys anymore.

As a side note, I’ll give Tuya credit, I can easily see where that is a great tool for folks looking to offer smart goods… it’s also exactly why I’ll always be local only.

    As much as I know zigbee is the way, and even have it set up for my thermostat, I cant bring myself to pay $20 a bulb

    $2.50 Tuya bulbs are doing the job just fine honestly. Ran locally of course
