new switches different port

[Jefronty]

My older plugs (KMC) broadcast to port 6666 both from 49155. My new Tuya/Smart Life plugs (Teckin) both broadcast to port 6667 from 49154.
I can get the status and control the older plugs using pytuya, but whenever trying to interact with the newer plugs with python, even retrieving the status I get an error. I'd guess that maybe these new plugs are listening on a port other than 6668, but I don't know which one. I ran a port scan and these new plugs are listening on TCP port 6668, but pytuya cannot communicate with them.
The error output when trying to get the status is:

  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pytuya/__init__.py", line 281, in status
    data = self._send_receive(payload)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pytuya/__init__.py", line 179, in _send_receive
    data = s.recv(1024)

I've also tried Python3 and it doesn't work any better.

@Jefronty thanks for sharing, that is interesting. I would check in with https://github.com/codetheweb/tuyapi they have been actively updating protocol support. I'm not following it closely but I thought I saw a discussion about a new protocol seen with some devices.

@clach04 Thanks for the response. I did check TuyApi and wrote a quick test js script to try. Using the parameter version=3.3 when adding the device worked. I see your code has a set_version function. Even after trying that I still cannot communicate with the new switches.

d.set_version( 3.3 )
d.status()

still throws an exception

I'm having the same problem with teckin smart plugs bought in December 2019.

Did you resolve the issue?
