Home Assistant, practice — installing HACS, local control via Tuya Local

This lesson is dedicated to the integration that allows Home Assistant to control devices added to Tuya Smart locally — called Tuya Local. This integration is not as well-known as its counterpart, Local Tuya, but it has a much simpler process for installation, setup, and adding devices. The first part of the lesson is intended for beginners and shows a simple way to install HACS — a special add-on for Home Assistant that provides access to hundreds of custom repositories, helping to expand the system’s functionality. 🔗 Github - https://github.com/ 🔗 HACS repository - https://www.hacs.xyz/ 🔗 Tuya Local repository - https://github.com/make-all/tuya-local 🎞 Devices mentioned in the video tutorial 🎥 Managed wi-fi power strip ZLD-44EU-W with 4 Euro sockets and 4 USB ports - https://youtu.be/gUquZynzuOA 🎥 Best Zigbee plug adapter with energy monitoring - https://youtu.be/Zkoi1baLvRM 🎥 Moes Matter Zigbee Thread Hub - https://youtu.be/MoUqIgEV1jI 🎥 Fairy Lights 2 — updated wi-fi string lights with addressable LEDs for Tuya Smart - https://youtu.be/JUjq1RTgGTk 📎 Useful links: 📨 Telegram: ➡ Direct contact with the author - @ask_kvazis ➡ My resources 📌 Channel in Ukrainian - https://kvazis.link/telegram_ua 📌 Channel in Russian - http://kvazis.link/telegram 📌 Smart home discussion group - http://kvazis.link/forum 📌 Video catalog - https://kvazis.link/catalog_youtube 📩 Feedback - [email protected] 🌐 Facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/AlexKvazis 🎥 Home Assistant lesson playlist - http://kvazis.link/ha_lessons 📄 Smart home articles - http://kvazis.link/arcticles ⚙️ Home Assistant configuration - http://kvazis.link/hassos 💲 Cashback system for purchases - http://kvazis.link/letishops 💸 Channel support 📌 Become a YouTube sponsor - http://kvazis.link/sponsorship 📌 Patreon - http://kvazis.link/patreon 📌 Buy me a coffee - http://kvazis.link/buymeacoffee 📌 Other options - http://kvazis.link/donate 🎵 Music provided by Epidemic Sound - www.epidemicsound.com #homeassistant #hacs #tuya #localtuya #tuyalocal 00:00 - Introduction 01:00 - HACS 04:42 - Tuya Local 07:16 - Setup 09:02 - Wi-fi power strip 10:46 - Zigbee plug 12:56 - Addressable light 16:11 - Summary
