AS OF RIGHT NOW THIS IS ONLY USEFUL FOR
IBS-M2POOL SENSOR. It's a hacky approach to limitations with the tuya apigw repo.
This is all just a workaround to a breaking API change: tuya/tuya-device-sharing-sdk#11
I'd ideally like to merge this PR: home-assistant/core#113214 into the base Tuya integration, but the API change means the non-standard data points aren't available in home assistant.
I forked an old version of the HA repo, using the legacy Tuya SDK.
- This integration reverts the Tuya core integration to use the tuya-iot-python-sdk which returns the
DP Instructionset instead of just theStandard Instructionso follow it's standard setup
I've logged an issue with the Tuya team, if they merge that I'll be able to merge my PR into core
- Toggle the
DP Instruction
In the cloud portal, the edit pencil on the device card links to the Change Control Instruction Mode
Select DP Instruction, you should see the additional value populate.
Installation is easiest via the Home Assistant Community Store (HACS), which is the best place to get third-party integrations for Home Assistant. Once you have HACS set up, simply click the button below (requires My Homeassistant configured) or follow the instructions for adding a custom repository and then the integration will be available to install like any other.
After installing, you can easily configure your devices using the Integrations configuration UI. Go to Settings / Devices & Services and press the Add Integration button, or click the shortcut button below (requires My Homeassistant configured).
- Sensor: IBS-M2
- Switch: Dwenwils Pool Timer
All in I spent ~$150, the cheapest alternative I could find was ~$650
I have two of the Dwenwils Pool Timers, one controlling my pump and the other controlling my heater.
Add a variable to detect when the heater was last turned off, configure your pump to stay on (or turn back on) for 20 minutes after the heater was last one. Some heaters say they don't need the pump to remain on, but this will almost certainly increase the longevitiy of your heater

- I'll probably add weather integration that controls the pool temp based on the weather (no point in heating when it's raining or on a particularly cool night or overcast day where we wont want to swim)
- I happen to have multiple sensors, instead of having one sit on the shelf I'm going to play with creating a sensor that averages the and is used as the
target_sensorin the climate control.
- Cosign the issue on Tuya's sdk (give it a thumbs up or add a comment in support)
