Welcome to the tuyaDAEMON wiki!

"TuyaDAEMON's goal is not to control some Tuya devices but to integrate the entire Tuya ecosystem in node-red, creating a new level of abstraction that includes both Tuya-cloud and all possible extensions: custom devices and logic of extended automation."

tuyaDAEMON is a complete framework for advanced IOT projects.

TuyaDAEMON is very experimental, the CORE_devices flow MUST be modified for every new device. Any effort is made to make it modular, small, fast, easy to modify, and fully documented.

Some tuyaDAEMON presentation pages:

• Why tuyaDEAMON ?, introduces to motivations of the tuyaDEAMON project. Anche in italiano: perché-tuyaDEAMON.
• TuyaDAEMON project, the project overview.
• tuyaDAEMON as event processor some more formal definitions for tuyaDAEMON ver. 2.0

In deep the tuyaDAEMON CORE:

• TuyaDAEMON core details on the CORE implementation.
• tuyaDAEMOM global.alldevices definitions for the main user-maintained tuyaDAEMON data structure.
• DAEMON-REST, details on two REST interfaces.
• Object Oriented devices and distributed tuyaDAEMON: introduces to ver. 2.0 new features.

The TRIGGER technique:

• tuyaTRIGGER implementation of the TRIGGER technique.
• tuyaTRIGGER info notes on TRIGGERs performances and limits.
• remote and voice control for node-red users: a tuyaTRIGGER downsizing.

new devices

How to add a new smart device to tuyaDAEMON?

• Step-by-step guide 'add a new device'.
• tuyaDAEMON toolkit uses a MySQL database to store all information about the devices and creates some useful artifacts.
• tuyaDAEMON things: An application for managing all things to/from global.alldevices structures of one or more tuyaDAEMON servers (extends toolkit).

How to design a custom device? some case studies can help you:

• SW only device: _system An example of 'SW only' device. You can think of 'SW only' devices as libraries of features.
• case study: smoke alarm An example of 'mirror' device. This case study can be used as a model for custom 'mirror' devices.
• case study: PM detector An example of 'custom' device, not Tuya compatible, using USB-serial, handled by an ad hoc flow.
• case study: MQTT Ozone PDMtimer The interface with an MQTT DIY specialized timer is simple and implemented as a direct replacement for the tuya-smart-device node.
• case study: 433 MHz gateway - weather station This module is a general-purpose RF gateway for sensors, which includes (for now) two devices: Auriol_IAN_114435 for the meteo data and extra_temperature for other temperature probes. Easy customizable, can be used to connect any RF sensor.
• case study: watering system An example of specialized 'derived' device with UI, developed using the Object-Oriented perspective from some 'base' Tuya devices.

Notes on tuyaDAEMON installation and use:

• Standard installation.

• Deployement on an Android server: an economical 24/7 solution.

• tuyaDEAMON-applications presents some applications built with tuyaDEAMON and a collection of programmers's notes about solutions of common IOT challenges.

All contributions and criticisms are welcome. Thanks.
