Wi-Fi Serial Protocol (HomeKit)

This topic describes how to interface your MCU with Tuya’s Wi-Fi module that can be connected to both the Tuya IoT Platform and the Apple HomeKit platform. After implementing the serial protocol, your product can communicate with Tuya’s Wi-Fi module and interact with ‘Powered by Tuya’ products and HomeKit-compatible products.

Serial communication

• Baud: 9600
• Data bit: 8
• Parity check: none
• Stop bit: 1
• Data flow control: none
• MCU: microcontroller unit. Your MCU communicates with Tuya’s modules through the serial port.

Frame format

Field	Bytes	Description
Header	2	It is fixed to 0x55aa.
Version	1	It is used for updates and extensions.
Command	1	Frame type
Data length	2	Big-endian
Data	N	Entity data
Checksum	1	Start from the header, add up all the bytes, and then divide the sum by 256 to get the remainder.

• All data greater than one byte is transmitted in big-endian format.

• Generally, one command is sent by one party and received by the other party synchronously. That is, one party sends a command and waits for a response from the other party. If the sender does not receive a correct response packet within a specified time period, the transmission times out, as shown in the following figure.

  
  For specific communication modes, see the protocol list in this topic.

• The module sends control commands and the MCU reports data point (DP) status, which occurs asynchronously. Assume that the module sends a command x and the MCU reports a command y. The data transmission is as follows.

  • The module sends a control command:

    

  • The MCU reports status:

    

Status data unit

The DP command and status data unit are defined as follows:

Data segment	Bytes	Description
dpid	1	The ID of a DP.
type	1	The data type of a DP is defined on the Tuya IoT Platform. For more information, see the table of type fields below.
len	2	The length is the number of bytes of a value.
Value	1/2/4/N	Represented in hexadecimal format. Data greater than one byte is transmitted in big-endian format.

Type fields

type	Type	Data length (byte)	Description
0x00	Raw	N	Represents a DP of raw data type. The data is passed through the module to the cloud.
0x01	Boolean	1	Represents a DP of Boolean data type. Valid values include 0x00 and 0x01.
0x02	Value	4	Represents a DP of integer type. The data is represented in big-endian format.
0x03	String	N	Represents a DP of string type.
0x04	Enum	1	Represents a DP of enum type, ranging from 0 to 255.
0x05	Bitmap	1/2/4	Represents a DP of fault type. Data greater than one byte is represented in big-endian format.

• Except for the raw data type, all others belong to the object type.
• The status data can contain command data units of multiple DPs.

Protocol list

Send heartbeats

• After the Wi-Fi module is powered on, it sends heartbeats to the MCU every 15 seconds. If the MCU does not respond within the 3-second timeout period, the module considers the MCU is offline.

• The MCU can determine whether the module works properly according to the heartbeat. If the module fails to send a heartbeat, the MCU can use the reset pin to reset the module.

The module sends the following command.

Field	Bytes	Description
Header	2	0x55aa
Version	1	0x00
Command	1	0x00
Data length	2	0x0000
Data	0	None
Checksum	1	Start from the header, add up all the bytes, and then divide the sum by 256 to get the remainder.

For example, 55 aa 00 00 00 00 ff

The MCU returns the following command.

Field	Bytes	Description
Header	2	0x55aa
Version	1	0x03
Command	1	0x00
Data length	2	0x0001
Data	1	0x00: The MCU returns this value only one time after a restart. The module uses this value to determine whether the MCU restarts during operation. 0x01: The MCU returns this value except for the first response after a restart.
Checksum	1	Start from the header, add up all the bytes, and then divide the sum by 256 to get the remainder.

For example, the MCU returns 55 aa 03 00 00 01 00 03 after a restart.

The MCU returns 55 aa 03 00 00 01 01 04 except for the first response after a restart.

Query product information

Product information consists of the product ID and MCU software version number.

• Product ID (PID): It is automatically generated for each product created on the Tuya IoT Platform for storing product information in the cloud.
• MCU software version format: It is expressed in dot-decimal notation, x.x.x (0 ≤ x ≤ 99), and x is a decimal digit.

To use the HomeKit capabilities, the Wi-Fi module will send a HomeKit configuration on receiving the response to the production information query. If the MCU is restarted after an OTA update, the Wi-Fi module will send a command to query the MCU and set the working mode of the Wi-Fi module instead of the HomeKit configuration.

The module sends the following command.

Field	Bytes	Description
Header	2	0x55aa
Version	1	0x00
Command	1	0x01
Data length	2	0x0000

For example, 55 aa 00 01 00 00 00

The MCU returns the following command.

Field	Bytes	Description
Header	2	0x55aa
Version	1	0x03
Command	1	0x01

Checksum	1	Start from the header, add up all the bytes, and then divide the sum by 256 to get the remainder.

For example, {"p":"AIp08kLIftb8x***","v":"1.0.0","pt":19}

Field description:

• p indicates the product ID is AIp08kLIftb8x***, mapping the PID of a product created on the Tuya IoT Platform. (Required)

• v indicates the MCU version is 1.0.0. The version number must be defined in the format x.x.x. (Required)

• pt indicates the accessory category in HomeKit. For more information, see Appendix 1. (Required)

Query the MCU and set the working mode of the module

• The working mode indicates how the network status is indicated and the way to trigger module reset. The Wi-Fi module can work in the following two modes.

  • The module works with the MCU to process network events. Through serial communication, the module sends the network status to the MCU for LED indication. The MCU can send a command to reset the module when necessary.
  • The module processes network events itself. The GPIO pin on the module drives the LED indicator to indicate the network status. The GPIO input signal determines module reset.

• When the module detects a low level on the GPIO input pin for more than five seconds, it will trigger a reset action. The following command specifies the GPIO pins of the LED indicator and the reset button.

• For cross-module I/O configuration, the pin number plus 32 makes the pin number we need. For example, the pin number to be set for PB20 is 52 (20 + 32 = 52).

• The active level setting when the module processes network events itself.

  Active low for button press and LED indicator.

Tuya-defined network status

Network status	Description	Status value
Status 1	Waiting for connection	The LED flickers at an interval of 250 milliseconds.
Status 2	The Wi-Fi network has been set up but not connected to the router.	The LED indicator is steady off.
Status 3	The Wi-Fi module has been connected to the router but not to the cloud.	The LED indicator is steady off.

For example, 0x55aa 00 02 0000 01

The MCU returns the following command.

Field	Bytes	Description
Header	2	0x55aa
Version	1	0x03
Command	1	0x02

For example, the MCU returns 0x55aa 03 02 0000 04 when the module works with the MCU to process network events.

The MCU returns 0x55aa 03 02 0003 0c 0d 0e 2e when the module processes network events itself. 0x0c indicates the LED that signals Tuya-defined network status is connected to GPIO12. 0x0d indicates the LED that signals HomeKit-defined network status is connected to GPIO13. 0x0e indicates the reset button is connected to GPIO14.

Report network status

Tuya-defined network status:

Network status	Description	Status value
Status 1	Waiting for connection	0x00
Status 2	The Wi-Fi network has been set up but not connected to the router.	0x01
Status 3	The Wi-Fi module has been connected to the router but not to the cloud.	0x02
Status 4	The Wi-Fi module has been connected to the cloud.	0x03

HomeKit-defined network status

Network status	Description	Status value
Status 1	To be bound or being bound	0x00
Status 2	Not connected	0x01
Status 3	Connected	0x02
Status 4 (special)	A prompt for HomeKit connection, which is fire-and-forget.	0x03

• Note that status 4 is used as a prompt for HomeKit connection, which is fire-and-forget and cannot be used as the indication for network status. The module sends status 4 to notify the MCU that the user sends the identity of a HomeKit accessory. The MCU must return a response within five seconds in a manner such as LED flickering three times or three beeps and after that, the network status must return to its former state. If the Wi-Fi module works in the self-processing mode, the HomeKit-defined LED indicator flickers three times to indicate a HomeKit accessory is recognized.
• When the Wi-Fi module detects the MCU is restarted or disconnected and then goes online, it actively sends the network status to the MCU.
• When the Wi-Fi network status changes, the Wi-Fi module sends the current status to the MCU.
• The network status flag is used to distinguish Tuya-defined network status and HomeKit-defined network status.
• If you choose the module self-processing mode, implementing this protocol for your MCU is not necessary.

The module sends the following command.

Field	Bytes	Description
Header	2	0x55aa
Version	1	0x00
Command	1	0x03

Reset Wi-Fi connection

• A HomeKit accessory that has been added to the Tuya Smart app still can be added to the Home app on an iOS device that is connected to the same LAN. If a HomeKit accessory has been added to the Home app, it can only be added to the Tuya Smart app over Bluetooth.

• About binding and reset

  • If a HomeKit accessory is removed from the Home app, this accessory is still connected to the LAN and can be bound again without the pairing process.

  • If a HomeKit accessory is added to the Home app and then bound with the Tuya Smart app, both apps can control this accessory. If this accessory is removed from the Tuya Smart app and restarted, it can still be bound with the Tuya Smart app because the pairing with the Home app is still established.

  • If a HomeKit accessory is added to the Home app and then bound with the Tuya Smart app, both apps can control this accessory. If this accessory is removed from the Home app and not restarted, it can still be bound with the Home app because the pairing with Tuya Smart app is still established.

  • If a HomeKit accessory is removed from the Tuya Smart app on an Android device, it enters the status of waiting for a connection.

  • If a HomeKit accessory is added to the Tuya Smart app on an Android device and then added to the Home app, this accessory can still be controlled with the Home app even if it is removed from the Tuya Smart app.

• When the module detects a low level on the GPIO input pin for more than five seconds, it will trigger a reset action. If you choose the module self-processing mode, implementing this protocol for your MCU is not necessary.

Report status

• For more information about the data unit, see Status data unit.

• The MCU asynchronously reports DP status, which can be triggered by three mechanisms.

  • After the MCU executes the command received from the module, it reports the changed DP status to the module.
  • When the MCU actively detects status changes of DPs, it sends the changed DP status to the module.
  • When the MCU receives the DP status query, it sends the status of all DPs to the module.

• The MCU can report status data units of multiple DPs.

• The module asynchronously queries the status of all object DPs. When the MCU receives queries, it sends the status of DPs to the module. For more information, see Report status.

• When the MCU receives this command, it must report status to both the Tuya Smart app and the Home app. Otherwise, the device status on these two apps will not be consistent.

• The module sends DP status queries when the following two events occur.

  • When powered on for the first time, the module builds communication with the MCU and then sends status queries.
  • When the module detects the MCU is restarted or disconnected and then goes online, the module sends status queries.

Update MCU firmware

• You can specify the update method for OTA MCU firmware updates. The module only serves as the channel for OTA data transmission, without any data parsing operation.

• The Tuya IoT Platform provides four update methods.

  • Update notification: Users receive a firmware update notification on the app and choose whether to install updates.
  • Automatic update: Users will not receive any update pop-up window. The module checks for firmware updates within one minute after power-on. If any new version is available, it will automatically pull the updates. The module checks for updates every 24 hours after the first-time power-on.
  • Forced update:
    Users receive a firmware update notification on the app and have no option but to update the firmware.
  • Check for updates: Users will not receive a firmware update notification on the app but need to manually check for new updates.

• The following flowchart shows how the OTA firmware update works.
  After the module has sent all update packages, it will send the command 0x01 to query the product information. The MCU must reply with the new MCU firmware version number within one minute. The new version number should be consistent with that configured on the Tuya IoT Platform.

• OTA updates without scratchpad

  The Wi-Fi module acts as the scratchpad for the MCU firmware updates. It can store the update file of up to 1.5 MB (1572864 bytes). The Wi-Fi module will download and store the update file and when the download is completed, it notifies the MCU to start the update.

• During the update process, do not power off or unplug the accessory. If any power failure occurs, the Wi-Fi module will keep trying until the update succeeds. The Wi-Fi module will check the update status each time it is started. If a failed update is detected, the module will initiate an update request from the command 0x0A until the update succeeds.

• For more information, see the OTA update flowchart.
