# tuyactl
This project provides a command-line interface (`tuyactl`) for controlling Tuya devices. It interacts with a separate Tuya Server (I'm still thinking a better way of doing that).
## Requirements
* **uv:** A fast and modern Python package installer and runner. Install it by following the instructions on the [uv documentation site](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/installation/).
* **Tuya Local Keys:** You will need the local keys for your Tuya devices. Follow the [tinytuya setup wizard](https://github.com/jasonacox/tinytuya#setup-wizard---getting-local-keys) to obtain these.
## Quick Start
1. **Install `uv`:**
Follow the official installation instructions on the [uv documentation site](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/installation/). The recommended method is to use the standalone installer, which you can download and run with the following command:
```bash
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
```
2. **Obtain Tuya Local Keys:**
Follow the [tinytuya setup wizard](https://github.com/jasonacox/tinytuya#setup-wizard---getting-local-keys) to get the local keys for your Tuya devices. Place the resulting `snapshot.json` file in your home directory (`~`). You can customize the location of this file using environment variables (see below).
3. **Run the server:**
```
nohup tuyad > tuyad.log 2>&1 &
```
3. **Run `tuyactl`:**
To see the available commands and options, run:
```bash
tuyactl --help
```
To execute a specific command, use the following syntax:
```bash
tuyactl <command> [options]
```
Replace `<command>` with one of the available commands: `list`, `on`, `off`, `color`, `brightness`, `temperature`, `mode`, `music`. Use the `--
help` option to see the available options for each command.
For example, to list all your Tuya devices, run:
```bash
tuyactl list
```
## Configuration
* **`snapshot.json` Location:** You can customize the location of the `snapshot.json` file (containing your Tuya device keys) using environment va
riables. (Details on this to be added later).
