What is tuya-smart-control?

A natural-language controller for Tuya smart-home devices, using Tuya's online API and real-time device messages. Tuya is a platform for connected home devices such as lights, plugs, and air conditioners.

Use it to switch devices on or off, adjust settings, check device status, manage homes and rooms, rename devices, check weather, and send notifications when the required Tuya access key is configured.

It lets you manage supported devices through everyday requests instead of handling each device's API commands manually.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00123	$0.05136
Opus 5.5	$0.00049	$0.02054
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00025	$0.01027
Haiku 4.5	$0.00012	$0.00514

Security

Grade A, and why

tuya-smart-control scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 6d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/tuya_api.py, scripts/tuya_device_mq_client.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Tuya Smart Home Device Control Skill

Basic Information

Official Website: https://www.tuya.com/
Source Code: https://github.com/tuya/tuya-openclaw-skills
Authentication: Via Header Authorization: Bearer {Api-key}
Credentials: Read from environment variable TUYA_API_KEY — obtain it at tuyasmart.com (China Mainland) or tuya.ai (International). Base URL is auto-detected from API key prefix. See references/api-conventions.md for the prefix-to-region mapping table. You can override by setting TUYA_BASE_URL.
API Reference: See individual files under references/
Python SDK: See scripts/tuya_api.py
Device Message Client: See scripts/tuya_device_mq_client.py (real-time WebSocket subscription)

Environment Variable Configuration

Set the following environment variable before use:

export TUYA_API_KEY="your-tuya-api-key"
# TUYA_BASE_URL is optional — auto-detected from API key prefix
# Override only if needed: export TUYA_BASE_URL="https://openapi.tuyaus.com"

Where to get an API Key:

User Type	Where to Get
China Mainland	tuyasmart.com
International	tuya.ai

The API Key format is sk-<PREFIX><rest>, where the prefix is used to automatically identify the data center. Make sure the API Key region matches your Tuya account registration region.

The same TUYA_API_KEY is used for both the REST API and WebSocket message subscription. The WebSocket URI is auto-detected from the API key prefix (same 7 data centers as the REST API). See references/device-message.md for the full mapping table.

The skill will not load if the TUYA_API_KEY environment variable is missing.

Usage

Always prefer Method 1 (Command Line) — single command, no boilerplate code. It handles authentication, URL resolution, JSON serialization, and error handling automatically.

Method 1: Via Command Line (Recommended)

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
