When designing applications, the TuyaDEAMON model simplifies as in the figure (in green the data, in black the commands). This doesn't mean that when developing an application one shouldn't sometimes intervene at a low level, to adapt some properties. Still, the application project is logically 'above' this simplified model of TuyaDAEMON.
The two most essential interfaces for applications are highlighted: REST and database. The REST interface allows us to send any command (SET) and to send requests to know the last value of each property (GET). The format is straightforward and above all the same for all devices: |
-
The device's know-how is crystallized in documentation datasheets, which are generated by tuyadaemon.toolkit, with information on
DPs(device's attributes or methods), valid values, any quirks.
Some activities are handled by TuyaDAEMON with the Tuya-cloud collaboration: in this case, the two-way communication takes place via core_OPENAPI or core_TRIGGER, but in a completely transparent way for the user, and the documentation is always in the datasheets of the devices, e.g. Smoke_Detector. The characteristics of the custom devices (HW or software-only) are also included in documentation datasheets, the collection of which therefore represents the complete documentation of the system for the applications, maintained by the user with the available tools. -
Applications can also use the MQTT interface, which, unlike the REST interface, is asynchronous: it does not use 'tuyastatus' to speed up responses, but always sends commands to the CORE.
| Of the DataBase , only one table affects the applications and contains the historical log (commands and events) of TuyaDAEMON: `tuyathome.messages`. The record comprises complete information. example: 45276 | 2023-05-28 07:33:32 | MACTEST | RX | 1234569b99a78mkj6 | mainAC | 6 | phaseA |
CYgAAlgAADMACw== | {"V":244,"Leack":0.002,"A":0.67584,"W":51} |  |
Specialized or application-oriented tables can be derived from this table and automatically updated. See Archiving db messages.
