This topic describes the API methods that you can use to implement audio and video capabilities for Wi-Fi locks, for example, live streaming and two-way talk.

Classes

Class name Description
ThingSmartWiFiLockDevice Wi-Fi lock operation class, encapsulating audio and video capabilities, inherited from ThingSmartDevice.
ThingSmartWiFiLockDeviceDelegate Wi-Fi lock protocol delegate, extended from ThingSmartDeviceDelegate.

Delegate

ThingSmartWiFiLockDeviceDelegate

/// Device uploads images DP 212
///
/// @param device The lock
/// @param message The data reported by the lock
- (void)onLockMessageArrived:(ThingSmartWiFiLockDevice *)device
                     message:(NSDictionary *)message;

/// The callback for live streaming reporting DP 63
///
/// @param device The lock
/// @param model The data reported by the lock

/// @param device The lock
/// @param time Countdown
- (void)unlockRequestCountdown:(ThingSmartWiFiLockDevice *)device
                          time:(NSInteger)time;

/// Report the alert image DP 45
///
/// @param device The lock

Example

// Initialization
self.lockDevice = [[ThingSmartWiFiLockDevice alloc] initWithDeviceId:self.device.deviceModel.devId];
// Set the delegate
self.lockDevice.delegate = self;

// Remote unlocking request DP 63
- (void)onVideoRequestRealtime:(ThingSmartWiFiLockDevice *)device model:(NSString *)model{
    //TODO
}

// Device uploads images DP 212
- (void)onLockMessageArrived:(ThingSmartWiFiLockDevice *)device message:(nonnull NSDictionary *)message{
    //TODO
}

// The image for remote unlocking request DP 9
- (void)unlockRequestCountdown:(ThingSmartWiFiLockDevice *)device time:(NSInteger)time{
    //TODO    
}

// The image for alert request DP 45
- (void)alarmRequestCountdown:(ThingSmartWiFiLockDevice *)device time:(NSInteger)time{
    //TODO
}

- (void)onRemoteUnlockReport:(ThingSmartWiFiLockDevice *)device{
    //TODO
}

// Report the response to force double locking DP 13
- (void)onForceLockUpReport:(ThingSmartWiFiLockDevice *)device{
    //TODO
}

Remote unlocking

API description

Implements remote operations, including unlocking, locking, unlocking rejection, and locking rejection.

- (void)remoteLockWithDevId:(NSString *)devId
                       open:(BOOL)open
                    confirm:(BOOL)confirm
                    success:(nullable ThingSuccessBOOL)success
                    failure:(nullable ThingFailureError)failure;

Parameter description

Parameters Description
devId The device ID.
open Specifies whether to unlock the door. YES: Unlock. NO: Lock.
confirm Specifies whether to accept unlocking. YES: Accept. NO: Reject.
success The success callback.
failure The failure callback.

The success callback only represents a successful API call, which does not guarantee the lock has executed the specified command. When confirm is YES, the device status changes. onRemoteUnlockReport returns the result of the command execution. When confirm is NO, the device status does not change, with no data reported. In this case, the success callback can indicate that a rejection command is executed.

Example

    [self.lockDevice remoteLockWithDevId:devId
                                    open:YES
                                 confirm:NO
                                 success:^(BOOL result) {
						//TODO
    } failure:^(NSError *error) {
						//TODO
    }];

Capture image again

API description

The device captures an image, uploads it to the cloud storage, and then reports the image path through onLockMessageArrived.

Do not call this method more than once within a 15-second interval.

- (void)reTakePhoto:(BOOL)needTake
            success:(ThingSuccessHandler)success
            failure:(ThingFailureError)failure;

Parameter description

Parameters Description
needTake Specifies whether to capture an image again.
success The success callback.
failure The failure callback.

Example

[self.lockDevice reTakePhoto:YES success:^{
						//TODO
    } failure:^(NSError *error) {
						//TODO
    }];

Force double locking

API description

Force double lock the door. onForceLockUpReport returns the result on success.

- (void)enforceLock:(BOOL)needLock
            success:(ThingSuccessHandler)success
            failure:(ThingFailureError)failure;

Parameter description

Parameters Description
needLock Specifies whether to implement force double locking.
success The success callback.
failure The failure callback.

Example

[self.lockDevice enforceLock:YES
                         success:^{
						//TODO
    } failure:^(NSError *error) {
						//TODO
    }];

Get the latest image URL

- (void)getLatestPopupInfoWithDevId:(NSString *)devId
                           fileType:(NSInteger)fileType
                            success:(nullable ThingSuccessID)success
                            failure:(nullable ThingFailureError)failure;

Parameter description

Parameters Description
devId The device ID.
fileType The type of image.
  • Unlocking-triggered image capture.
  • Alert-triggered image capture.
success The success callback.
failure The failure callback.

Return values

Field Description
filePath The path of the image in cloud storage.
fileKey The key used to decrypt the image.
bucket The bucket in which the image is stored.

Example

    [self.lockDevice getLatestPopupInfoWithDevId:self.lockDevice.deviceModel.devId
                                        fileType:1
                                         success:^(id result) {
						//TODO
    } failure:^(NSError *error) {
						//TODO
    }];

Get URL of captured image

API description

Returns the URL of the image captured and uploaded to cloud storage. This request is made along with onLockMessageArrived or getLatestPicture.

- (void)getPopupPictureAddressWithDevId:(NSString *)devId
                                 bucket:(NSString *)bucket
                               filePath:(NSString *)filePath
                               success:(nullable ThingSuccessID)success
                               failure:(nullable ThingFailureError)failure;

Parameter description

Parameters Description
devId The device ID.
bucket The bucket in which the image is stored.
filePath The encrypted URL of the image in cloud storage.
success The success callback.
failure The failure callback.

Return values

fileUrl The path of the image in cloud storage.
mediaUrl The path of the video in cloud storage.
angle The rotation angle configured on the Tuya IoT Development Platform. Valid values: 0, 90, 180, and 270.

Note

fileUrl is an encrypted URL. onLockMessageArrived or getLatestPopupInfoWithDevId must be called to get the value of fileKey and decrypt the URL. Tuya provides the control TYEncryptImage to decrypt and display the image.

Example

// Query the URL of the cover image.
[self.lockDevice getPopupPictureAddressWithDevId:self.lockDevice.deviceModel.devId
                                          bucket:bucket
                                        filePath:filePath
                                         success:^(id result) {
            NSInteger angle = [result[@"angle"] integerValue];
            NSString *fileUrl = result[@"fileUrl"];

        } failure:^(NSError *error) {

        }];

// Get the image after decrypting the image URL.
UIImageView *imageView = [UIImageView new];
[imageView ty_setAESImageWithPath:fileUrl
                       encryptKey:fileKey
                        completed:^(UIImage * _Nullable image, NSURL * _Nullable url, TYEncryptWebImageFromType from, TYEncryptWebImageStage stage, NSError * _Nullable error) {
