In place replace LocalTuya

[aventouris]

Hello

I'm using the original rospogrigio's LocalTuya version. How can I replace with this fork keeping the current configuration ?

Hello, I always recommend take a backup before do that, what I did before is

1. Go to HACS -> Integrations -> Delete localtuya and click ignore in the message that will popup.
2. Add the fork to HACS -> Install the fork.
3. Restart homeassistant.

You can check this reply too.

Thank you for these precious indications.
I also had Rospogrigio's LocalTuya and I couldn't insert a GU10 bulb.
With your repository and following your instructions I can now see it and make it work.

THANK YOU

Thanks, I had to reconfigure my 3 Ikohs/CREATE fans, using default values, and now everything is working fine.

I've tried this but it failed for the latest version of localtuya: v2024.7.0. What worked for me was installing v3.2.5.1 on step 2. After the restart all devices were there. Afterwards I updated to v2024.7.0 without any problems.

Thanks.

hmmm interesting it is still working for me on v2024.7.0. This fork fixed the issue where entities become unavailable after restart as well. I just tested all 28 switches and lights before editing this reply. Even the power monitoring is working.

I just installed this version straight over the top of rospogrigio's version.
This repo replaced all the old components, and kept the original devices.
I can now add Zigbee devices to HA!

[fusionstream]

Can confirm. Did the same thing as well.

I can now add Zigbee devices to HA!

@phrak could you please elaborate a bit on that? What is the relationship between Ziggbee and Tuya?

(I am asking because I am considering switching from local-tuya and have Zigbee devices set up in ZHA)

[RaeesD]

I did this too and the old devices work fine, only annoyance is that HACS still shows both Local Tuya integrations as being installed.

[IcWhy1991]

I can't find localtuya in integrations after installing this.

[fusionstream]

Not sure if it's just me but it seems both instances exist at the same time within the update framework. That is to say, my latest update message overwrote this one.

Yea so while in place replacement does indeed work, HA still thinks you're using the old one so it follows any update schedule that the original puts out.

[xZetsubou]

You need to remove the old one "keep the data if you want"

Worried about setting up the devices again. There were some I had to add manually and it's going to break many things if I do it wrong

@xZetsubou Thank you very much for this fork, works perfectly. All the deprecation warnings disappeared and it even picked up more entities from my power strip.

HACS 2.0.1
Local Tuya 2024.9.0
