I just spoke with the team from Tuya at the CSA event. Initially, they weren’t aware of the issue, but after checking internally, they confirmed the same response that LG received by email. Tuya has shut down the “Developer Authorization Code Mode - Tuya Public App Authorization” for all developers using the Tuya API, citing “business security risks.”

They suggested we migrate to their new Smart Home Tuya-API Cube, but the pricing they’re asking is simply unfeasible for us. Moreover, they’ve signed a contract stating they’re responsible for maintaining the API and ensuring issues like this don’t occur. Asking us to pay for this change contradicts the agreement.

To be continued…
