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

    If you’re set on these devices, maybe have a look at the open-source projects meant to strip Tuya devices from their Cloud dependencies. There’s some aftermarket firmware available for some devices. And we have projects like TuyAPI, Local Tuya, tuya-mqtt… It involves some tinkering, but some of these devices work with new firmware or a fake version of the API. And there might be some information on specific devices in the HomeAssistant forum. With a bit of luck, someone already tried it. I generally don’t buy devices unless there’s some info in the forum.
