Manage Projects

The cloud development project is a collection of resources on the Tuya IoT Development Platform, including devices, APIs, and data. Resources deployed for each project are isolated from those for the other projects. This topic describes how to create a project, view, and edit project details.

Create a project

Project creation is the first step of cloud development.

1. Log in to the Tuya IoT Development Platform.

2. In the left-side navigation bar, choose Cloud > Development.

3. On the Cloud Management page, click Create Cloud Project.

   

4. On the Create Cloud Project page, configure Project Name, Description, Industry, Development Method, and Data Center. The differences between the two development methods are as follows. For more information, see Development Method.

   • Custom: Build your IoT SaaS projects for any industry scenarios based on systems of assets and users. You can create multiple applications for an industry project to share the assets and users.

   • Smart Home: This allows you to link devices with your Smart Life app, such as Tuya-connected OEM apps or apps built on the Smart Life App SDK, as well as IoT WeChat mini programs. You can call OpenAPI to access linked devices and users.

     

5. Click Create to complete project creation.

   1. Authorize cloud service APIs.
      By default, the APIs that support the specified development method are selected for the project on the platform. You can add or delete the default APIs, or select other APIs. The following list shows the default APIs for each development method.

      The platform will automatically subscribe to the selected APIs and authorize this project to access them.

      • Custom development:

        • IoT Core
        • Authorization
          

      • Smart home:

        • IoT Core
        • Authorization
        • Smart Home Scene Linkage
        • Data Dashboard Service
          

   2. Quickly create an asset and grant a specific user access to the asset.

      This step is only required for the Custom development method. You can skip this step if you select the Smart Home development method.
