Home Assistant and Tuya

to integrate a tuya hub and all devices with Home Assistant.

1. using official tuya integration which relies on the internet and Tuya’s servers to process your requests.
2. hacking your zigbee hub so that we can install a process to send all ZigBee messages to home assistant (as your hub is a very basic Linux computer).
   We should install zigbee2mqtt software there,
   and enable MQTT broker on your home assistant instance.
   Zigbee2mqtt sends messages to home assistant MQTT broker
   and MQTT broker processes them for home assistant, and you’re good.
   HACK GUIDE
3. you can buy a usb stick (e.g. conbee 2 from deconz) and you can install some other integration: zha, or official deconz integration) to listen your devices and you can ditch your tuya hub. this works for all zigbee devices, not WiFi.
