Smart Camera Pairing in QR Code Mode

A smart camera can scan a QR code on the app to get the pairing data. Users can pair the smart camera in this way.

Pairing process

Get a token

Before the smart camera pairing process, the SDK must get a pairing token from the cloud in the networked state. The token is valid for 10 minutes and expires immediately after the device is paired. A new token must be generated if the device needs to be paired again.

API description

TuyaOSActivator.deviceActivator().getActivatorToken(final long homeId, final ITuyaActivatorGetToken activatorGetToken);

Parameters

Example

TuyaOSActivator.deviceActivator().getActivatorToken(homeId,
		new ITuyaActivatorGetToken() {

			@Override
			public void onSuccess(String token) {

			}

			@Override
			public void onFailure(String s, String s1) {

			}
		});

Initialize pairing parameters

Example

TuyaCameraActivatorBuilder builder = new TuyaCameraActivatorBuilder()
		 .setContext(context)
		 .setSsid(ssid)
		 .setPassword(password)
		 .setToken(token)
		 .setTimeOut(timeout)
		 .setListener(new ITuyaSmartCameraActivatorListener() {
			 @Override
			 public void onQRCodeSuccess(String qrcodeUrl) {
				     // The URL used to generate a QR code.
			 }

			 @Override
			 public void onError(String errorCode, String errorMsg) {
				     // Failed to pair the device.
			 }

			 @Override
			 public void onActiveSuccess(DeviceBean devResp) {
				   // The device is paired.
			 }
		 }));

Parameters

Call the pairing method

• Pairing implementation class.

  ITuyaCameraDevActivator mTuyaActivator = TuyaOSActivator.deviceActivator().newCameraDevActivator(builder);
  

• Returns the URL of the QR code.

  mTuyaActivator.createQRCode(); // The result is returned by the callback of `onQRCodeSuccess`.
  

• Generates a QR code by using the URL.

  In the following example, this dependency is required: zxing (implementation 'com.google.zxing:core:3.2.1').

  public static Bitmap createQRCode(String url, int widthAndHeight)
  			throws WriterException {
  		Hashtable hints = new Hashtable();
  		hints.put(EncodeHintType.CHARACTER_SET, "utf-8");
  		hints.put(EncodeHintType.MARGIN,0);
  		BitMatrix matrix = new MultiFormatWriter().encode(url,
  				BarcodeFormat.QR_CODE, widthAndHeight, widthAndHeight, hints);
  
  		int width = matrix.getWidth();
  		int height = matrix.getHeight();
  		int[] pixels = new int[width * height];
  
  		for (int y = 0; y < height; y++) {
  			for (int x = 0; x < width; x++) {
  				if (matrix.get(x, y)) {
  					pixels[y * width + x] = BLACK;
  				}
  			}
  		}
  		Bitmap bitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(width, height,
  				Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
  		bitmap.setPixels(pixels, 0, width, 0, 0, width, height);
  		return bitmap;
  	}
  

• Starts pairing.

  mTuyaActivator.start();
  

• Stops pairing.

  mTuyaActivator.stop();
  

• Destroys data.

  mTuyaActivator.onDestory();
