The plugin wont accept the latest tuya plug versions. I tryed to make it work a few year ago with success. Took me 2 weeks of active work to do it.

The thing is even with a proper plugin, tuya interface and the procedure needed to make it work is really intricate.
With this plugin still around, people will think it is actually easy to setup tuya plugs. It is not.
I would strongly recommend users buying tasmota plugs instead even if they are more expensive.

Based on the issue tracker activity and pending PRs I would agree that this does look abandoned by @ziirish. Since I see you've put a lot of work into the plugin to get it functional and commenting with other users in the issue tracker, are you wanting to adopt it @Carlsans?

[Carlsans]

I guess so, but first thing I would do is to warn the users not to buy tuya plugs thinking they would work easily...

[jneilliii]

No pressure, seems like it's not something you really want to take on and maintain. I feel the same way about the TPLink plugs, although they seem to be much easier to deal with then this Tuya stuff.

[Carlsans]

Yes you need to create a developer account and they are always changing things to make it more intricate. You need to really know your way around just to make it work. Tasmota is so much easier.

Please note that I've opened this PR in the plugin's current repository to fix compatibility issues with OctoPrint 2.0.0.
Anyone adopting this plugin will need to implement it in their fork to support recent OctoPrint versions.
