tuya-device-sharing-sdk
A Python sdk for Tuya Open API, which provides IoT capabilities, maintained by Tuya official
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you are building on the Tuya platform. The SDK is actively maintained by Tuya, has no known vulnerabilities, low install friction, and a permissive MIT license. It is the official integration point for Tuya's Open API. Install it only if you have Tuya devices or a Tuya developer account to work with; it is not a general-purpose IoT library.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires valid Tuya API credentials and an initialized API client instance to instantiate Manager.
- Low install friction with only two runtime dependencies (paho-mqtt and requests).
- The package is actively maintained with a release 23 days ago and shows steady bug fixes across recent versions.

What it is and what it does
This is an official Tuya SDK that wraps their Open API to let you programmatically manage IoT devices, homes, and automation scenes. It provides a Manager class for high-level operations like sending commands and triggering scenes, repository classes for querying devices and homes, and a message queue interface for real-time device updates via MQTT. The SDK handles the underlying HTTP requests and MQTT subscriptions, so you work with Python objects rather than raw API calls.
The package depends on paho-mqtt for message queue connectivity and requests for HTTP communication. It supports Python 3.7 and newer, including PyPy. Recent versions have focused on stability—fixing MQTT reconnection issues and improving type hints. The active maintenance and low dependency count make it straightforward to integrate into existing Python projects.
Use it for
- Build a Smart Life integration or custom dashboard that queries and controls Tuya devices across multiple homes
- Automate device commands and scene triggers based on external events or schedules
- Listen to real-time device status updates via MQTT to react to property changes
- Query device metadata and room assignments to organize and display device hierarchies
- Implement custom IoT workflows that combine device commands with business logic
