Tuya stuck on deprecated API

Describe the enhancement

The Tuya integration is using a deprecated API. This issue has been reported, noting that several fields are missing. These missing fields are also discussed in the underlying Tuya Device Sharing SDK used to access the API.

Use cases

This is important because the current Tuya implementation in Home Assistant does not align with the official Tuya API. Home Assistant appears to use a private or undocumented API, which results in discrepancies compared to other libraries such as tinytuya.

As highlighted in the issue report, I provided an example showing the expected output versus the actual response received.

The primary goal should be to either update the endpoints being used or consider migrating to a better-supported and actively maintained package that aligns more closely with the official Tuya API.

Anything else?

This is not a feature request, nor an issue from Home Assistant. The base of our integration is written by Tuya, and runs on the libraries provided by Tuya itself. This open-source project (and thus the API implementation) is owned and maintained by Tuya.

It would be more fitting to report this with Tuya.

Thank you for quick reply!

There is related issues going back to beginning of 2024 and is unfortunately not resolved. Also raised the issue last week and through their development portal without response yet. I also tried to update the api without progress due to lack of official documentation.

Is there any alternative approach if there won't be any updates to the api implementation?

Is there any specific reason for using the private api for the tuya integration instead of the tiny tuya that relies on the official api?
