Network Pairing Management

With the increase in network pairing methods, the Cloud Development Platform has updated the permission management APIs to provide more network pairing methods, such as Wi-Fi pairing, Bluetooth pairing, and Bluetooth + Wi-Fi dual-module pairing.

Generate a network pairing token

API description

Before the device is discovered, you need to apply for a temporary token, and perform pairing through the Tuya client SDK. After receiving the token, the device can automatically complete the discovery and account binding. It currently supports Wi-Fi pairing and Bluetooth + Wi-Fi pairing.

Error code	Description
500	System error
1106	Illegal permission

Poll the pairing result

API description

Device pairing is an asynchronous process, and the network quality is inconsistent. As a result, the devices access the network at different time points. Therefore, the developer needs to poll the interface until the device list is queried or the timeout period is reached. The polling cycle is once per second, and the timeout period is recommended to be 100 seconds.

API address

GET /v1.0/device/paring/tokens/{token}

Request parameter

Parameter name	Data type	Parameter type	Required	Description
token	String	URI	Yes	Device pairing token

Return parameter

Parameter name	Data type	Description
code	Integer	Response code. See Error code.
success	Boolean	Determine whether the request succeeded or not. true: succeed false: failed
msg	String	The message returned if the request fails. It will return null if the request succeeds.
result	Object<result>	Return result

Description of result

Parameter name	Data type	Description
success	Array	The list of paired devices
success.device_id	String	Device ID
success.product_id	String	Product ID
success.name	String	Device name

Open the gateway to allow the access of sub-devices

API description

Sub-devices require a gateway to connect to the network due to its incapability of networking. When the gateway is available for network access, you can add sub-devices to the local network of the gateway to get received.

API address

Request parameter

Parameter name	Data type	Parameter type	Required	Description
device_id	String	URI	Yes	Device ID.
duration	Int	URL	No	Gateway discovery time. Value range: 0–3600 s. When it is set to 0, the gateway stops discovering devices. The default value is 100 seconds.

Return parameter

Parameter name	Data type	Description
code	Integer	Response code. See Error code.
success	Boolean	Determine whether the request succeeded or not. true: succeeded false: failed
msg	String	The message returned if the request fails. It will return null if the request succeeds.

Get the list of reported sub-devices

API description

Sub-device network pairing is an asynchronous process. During the process, sub-devices will join the gateway according to the number of devices and the network status. Therefore, you need to poll the API at the first discovery time to get the sub-device list. We recommend that you poll once a second until 100 seconds.

Request parameter

Parameter name	Data type	Parameter type	Required	Description
device_id	String	URI	Yes	Gateway ID
discovery_time	Long	URL	Yes	Gateway discovery time of sub-devices, which is accurate to seconds.

Return parameter

Parameter name	Data type	Description
code	Integer	Response code. See Error code.
success	Boolean	Determine whether the request succeeded or not. true: succeeded false: failed
msg	String	The message returned if the request fails. It will return null if the request succeeds.
result	Object<result>	The returned result.
