FAQ​

Is the scan not working?​

On the forum, Francis66 had this issue, and he resolved it this way:

  • I no longer had access rights to the API resources
    • Access to Cloud Develop Base Resource and IoT Core was lost because the trial period had expired.
  • For the region: I had selected Western Europe instead of Central Europe.

Error: "Error: Unable to start service tuya TypeError: Cannot destructure property 'list' of 'result' as it is undefined."​

If this error appears in your logs, please check the following:

  • Internet connectivity of the device
    • Ensure that the system has proper DNS resolution and that internet access is not blocked by piHole or similar software.
  • Double-check your credentials and verify that the correct data center is selected.
  • Check the IoT Core package validity

The IoT Core trial package is only active for one month and must be renewed manually. Tuya Gladys integration, save configuration
Due to the fast-paced evolution of the Tuya Developer Platform, there is no single, permanent tutorial available for this process.
Open the Details section in the Tuya Developer Console and follow the on-screen wizard to extend your trial period.
After extending the trial, it may take up to 15 minutes before your hardware becomes accessible again.
This process is only neccessary for connecting your account to Gladys for the first time
