I’m looking for a smart lock for my house and I’ve seen these at a pretty interesting price on Aliexpress (https://a.aliexpress.com/_mMbQRZx), it says that it can be controlled with the tuya app and I have some old plugs integrated from that app, but I also have a lamp that connects to that app but not to the home assistant. Does anyone know if I will have problems integrating this lock into my system? Does anyone have this model or similar?
thanks for the help
Avoid Tuya wifi devices. They’re nothing but trouble, requiring all kinds of hacks to get working locally, and even then can still be a headache.
If you really want the lock, try to see if you can run the Tuya cloud cutter on it, so it’ll be a truly local device. Then control it via HA, using a VPN or HA Cloud if you need remote access.
