Device Management (iOS)

This topic describes the device management operations that are supported by DeviceCore SDK for iOS. For example, control devices, listen for changes in device status, rename devices, update device firmware, remove devices, and restore default settings.

Class name	Description
TuyaSmartDevice	The device management class.
TuyaSmartDeviceModel	The device data model class.

The following table describes the data model specified by TuyaSmartDeviceModel:

Field	Type	Description
devId	NSString	The unique ID of a device.
name	NSString	The name of a device.
iconUrl	NSString	The URL of a device icon.
isOnline	BOOL	Indicates whether a device is online. The device is online when it is connected to a Wi-Fi network, a local area network (LAN), or a Bluetooth network.
isCloudOnline	BOOL	Indicates whether a device is connected to a Wi-Fi network.
isLocalOnline	BOOL	Indicates whether a device is connected to a LAN.
isShare	BOOL	Indicates whether a device is a shared device.
dps	NSDictionary	The data points (DPs) of a device.
dpCodes	NSDictionary	The DPs in the code-value format.
schemaArray	NSArray	The schema array of DP rules.
productId	NSString	The product ID (PID) of a device.
capability	NSUInteger	The product capability of a device.
deviceType	TuyaSmartDeviceModelType	The device type.
supportGroup	BOOL	Indicates whether groups can be created.
gwType	NSString	A value of v indicates a virtual device, and an empty value indicates a real device for pairing.
pv	NSString	The protocol version of a device. A Wi-Fi protocol version or a Bluetooth protocol version are supported.
lpv	NSString	The LAN protocol version of a device. By default, this parameter is empty. The value is specified after the device is connected to a LAN.

Initialize a device

Note: An incorrect device ID might cause failed initialization. In this case, the device instance returns nil.

API description

Initializes a device by the device ID.

/**
 *  Get TuyaSmartDevice instance. If current user don't have this device, a nil will be return.
 *  Get a device instance. If the current user does not have the device, `nil` is returned. 
 *
 *  @param devId The device ID.
 *  @return instance
 */
+ (nullable instancetype)deviceWithDeviceId:(NSString *)devId;

Parameters

Parameter	Description
devId	The device ID.

Example

TuyaSmartDevice *device = [TuyaSmartDevice deviceWithDeviceId:devId];
device.delegate = self;

Listen for a delegate

After you implement the delegate protocol TuyaSmartDeviceDelegate, you can process the callback of changes in device status and refresh the UI of the control panel on your app.

Example

Objc:

- (void)initDevice {
    self.device = [TuyaSmartDevice deviceWithDeviceId:@"your_device_id"];
    self.device.delegate = self;
}

#pragma mark - TuyaSmartDeviceDelegate

- (void)device:(TuyaSmartDevice *)device dpsUpdate:(NSDictionary *)dps {
    // The UI is refreshed when device DPs are changed.
}

- (void)deviceInfoUpdate:(TuyaSmartDevice *)device {
    // The current device data such as the device name and online or offline status is updated.
}

- (void)deviceRemoved:(TuyaSmartDevice *)device {
    // The current device is removed.
}

- (void)device:(TuyaSmartDevice *)device signal:(NSString *)signal {
    // The Wi-Fi signal strength.
}

- (void)device:(TuyaSmartDevice *)device firmwareUpgradeProgress:(NSInteger)type progress:(double)progress {
    // The progress of the firmware update.
}

- (void)device:(TuyaSmartDevice *)device firmwareUpgradeStatusModel:(TuyaSmartFirmwareUpgradeStatusModel *)upgradeStatusModel {
    // The callback of the device update status.
}

Swift:

func initDevice() {
    device = TuyaSmartDevice(deviceId: "your_device_id")
    device?.delegate = self
}

// MARK: - TuyaSmartDeviceDelegate

func device(_ device: TuyaSmartDevice?, dpsUpdate dps: [AnyHashable : Any]?) {
    // The UI is refreshed when device DPs are changed.
}

func deviceInfoUpdate(_ device: TuyaSmartDevice?) {
    // The current device data such as the device name and online or offline status is updated.
}

func deviceRemoved(_ device: TuyaSmartDevice?) {
    // The current device is removed.
}

func device(_ device: TuyaSmartDevice?, signal: String?) {
    // The Wi-Fi signal strength.
}

func device(_ device: TuyaSmartDevice?, firmwareUpgradeProgress type: Int, progress: Double) {
    // The progress of the firmware update.
}

func device(_ device: TuyaSmartDevice?, firmwareUpgradeStatusModel upgradeStatusModel: TuyaSmartFirmwareUpgradeStatusModel?) {
    // The callback of the device update status.
}

Query device information

API description

Queries the data of a single DP.

This API method does not apply to synchronous requests. The response is returned by the callback of the delegate - (void)device:(TuyaSmartDevice *)device dpsUpdate:(NSDictionary *)dps.

Example

Objc:

- (void)queryDP {
	// self.device = [TuyaSmartDevice deviceWithDeviceId:@"your_device_id"];
	// Query the data of DP `1`.
  [self.device publishDps:@{@"1":null} mode:TYDevicePublishModeAuto success:^{
		NSLog(@"query dp success");
	} failure:^(NSError *error) {
		NSLog(@"query dp failure: %@", error);
	}];
}

Swift:

func queryDP() {
    // self.device = [TuyaSmartDevice deviceWithDeviceId:@"your_device_id"];
    // Query the data of DP `1`.
    device.publishDps([
        "1": null
    ], mode: TYDevicePublishModeAuto, success: {
        print("query dp success")
    }, failure: { error in
        if let error = error {
            print("query dp failure: \(error)")
        }
    })
}

[Notes]

This API method applies to DPs that do not initiate data transmission. For example, query countdown information. For regular DP queries, we recommend that you call TuyaSmartDeviceModel.dps.

Rename a device

API description

- (void)updateName:(NSString *)name success:(nullable TYSuccessHandler)success failure:(nullable TYFailureError)failure;

	[self.device updateName:name success:^{
		NSLog(@"updateName success");
	} failure:^(NSError *error) {
		NSLog(@"updateName failure: %@", error);
	}];
}

Swift:

func modifyDeviceName(_ name: String) {
    device?.updateName(name, success: {
        print("updateName success")
    }, failure: { (error) in
        if let e = error {
            print("updateName failure: \(e)")
