TuyaLink-Based Device Binding

TuyaLink is an open solution that enables smart devices, including proprietary network modules and smart devices, to connect to Tuya’s cloud services.

TuyaLink lowers the bar for IoT development by integrating with Tuya’s IoT Core technologies, including things data model, rule engines, data parsing, device management, operations and monitoring, alert management, OTA firmware updates, and application development.

TuyaLink allows you to quickly integrate with the Tuya ecosystem and achieve interconnectivity between devices across different domains. A range of development resources for PaaS, SaaS, and apps helps you implement IoT projects with improved cost efficiency and reduced lead time.

Device binding

Each TuyaLink-based device is created with a QR code on the Tuya Developer Platform. To bind a TuyaLink-based device with the app, users scan the QR code of the device first. The system parses the URL of the QR code and returns a universally unique identifier (UUID) of the device. Then, the UUID is used in the API request to bind the device.

Query device UUID

//IThingDeviceActivator.java
void deviceQrCodeParse(String url, IThingDataCallback<QrScanBean> callback);

Parameters

Example

// The URL obtained after the device QR code is scanned.
ThingHomeSdk.getActivatorInstance().deviceQrCodeParse("url", new IThingDataCallback<QrScanBean>() {
            @Override
            public void onSuccess(QrScanBean result) {
                if(result != null){
                    // Get uuid from result.actionData. This parameter will be used as the request parameter in the subsequent pairing process.

                }
            }

            @Override
            public void onError(String errorCode, String errorMessage) {
                // errorCode:QR_PROTOCOL_NOT_RECOGNIZED protocol is unknown.

            }
        });

Bind a device

//IThingDeviceActivator.java
void bindThingLinkDeviceWithQRCode(long homeId, String uuid, IThingDevActivatorListener listener);

Parameters

Example

ThingHomeSdk.getActivatorInstance().bindThingLinkDeviceWithQRCode(homeId, mUuid, new IThingDevActivatorListener() {
                    @Override
                    public void onError(String errorCode, String errorMsg) {
                        Log.d(TAG,"errorMsg = " + errorMsg + " / errorCode = " + errorCode);
                    }

                    @Override
                    public void onActiveSuccess(DeviceBean devResp) {
                        Log.d(TAG,"onActiveSuccess --->>" );
                    }
                });
