Control devices with OpenClaw

1. Provide access credentials. During the initial configuration, OpenClaw will prompt the user to provide access credentials based on the skill’s description.

   For example, when configuring the tuya-assistant skill for the first time, after entering Turn on my floor lamp, you will be prompted to provide the following credentials:

   • TUYA_ACCESS_ID: The access ID for the Tuya Developer Platform.
   • TUYA_ACCESS_SECRET: The access secret.
   • TUYA_UID: Your Tuya or SmartLife app account UID.
   • TUYA_ENDPOINT: The data center. For example, China, Western America, and Europe.

   

2. Configure the data center. After completing the above steps and obtaining the configuration information, you also need to configure the data center.

   Taking the example where your authorized account belongs to the China data center:

   > TUYA_ACCESS_ID=xxxx
   TUYA_ACCESS_SECRET=xxxx
   TUYA_UID=xxxx
   Data Center = China
   

3. OpenClaw will automatically configure the keys and continue executing the Turn on my floor lamp command.

   

Showcase

The tuya-assistant skill supports device control and automation (devices, schedules, and weather).

Device control

Supports fuzzy semantics and multi-commands. Examples:

• "Turn on the light": AI will query all light-related devices under the user’s account and ask whether all should be turned on.
• Multi-command control: "Turn on the floor lamp, adjust the mode to color light, and set the color to blue".

Use cases:

• "Help me turn on all the lights."
• "Help me turn on the floor lamp, adjust the mode to color light, set the color to green, and then close the curtains."

Automation

• "When the floor lamp turns on, I need to close the curtains."
• "Turn on the floor lamp at 6:00 PM every day, and turn off the floor lamp at 11:00 PM every day."
• "When the air quality is excellent, I need to open the windows and doors."
