TinyTuya is only correctly reading the status of Tuya plug correctly on the first status read, subsequent reads are the same despite the plug status including current, voltage, & power changing. Output:

Python 3.9.7 (tags/v3.9.7:1016ef3, Aug 30 2021, 20:19:38) [MSC v.1929 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32

The simple program :
#***************************************************************************

29/10/2022 DS Appears to be working in terms of correctly picking up current, voltage.

and power when the program is first run. But it is holding those values without

updating them when they change!

30/10/2022 DS Cleaned up from earlier test version.

Example Usage of TinyTuya

import tinytuya
import time
import json
from datetime import datetime

#print("Before set debug")
#tinytuya.set_debug(True) #For raw messages

#***************************************
#Initialisation
#***************************************
print("Before OutletDevice")
d = tinytuya.OutletDevice('removed', 'removed', 'removed')

print("Before Set Version")
d.set_version(3.3) #3.3 works

#***************************
#Get Status
#***************************
print("Before Status")
d.set_dpsUsed({"1": None}) # This needs to be a datapoint available on the device
data_dict = d.status() #Python dictionary object returned
print('data_dict=%r' %data_dict)

print(data_dict.get("dps","unknown")) #Get contents of parent "dps" return unknow if not found
data_dict_dps=data_dict.get("dps","unknown")
print(data_dict_dps.get("18","unknown")) #Get value of key 18, current [mA]
print(data_dict_dps.get("19","unknown")/10) #Get value of key 19, power [W]
print(data_dict_dps.get("20","unknown")/10) #Get value of key 20, voltage [V]

d.updatedps( [18, 19, 20] ) before d.status()

Good idea. I found the bug in my program after trying your suggestion. I have a logical error. I will neverthless try your command on the next iteration of the program. Thanks

Hello,

I am working on a home integration of tuya devices .
I successfully accessed my device from home computer, but would like to be able to run the status queries from an ESP device.
I installed micropython on an ESP8266, but doesn't knox how to install tinytuya on the ESP.
is it possible, is it a stupid question?
Thanks for the work done and thanks in advance for a response.

I was able to hack a bunch of stuff out and get it kinda-sorta working with the PC port of micropython, but haven't spent the time to make it truly compatible. See #421

Thanks for the response
