d.status timeout with a just bought device

[puppinoo]

Hi,
I have an older different device working great.
I just bought this one https://www.amazon.it/gp/product/B07X2S13N8 cause they had italian plugs. Been able to retrieve keys using older smartlife and tuya-cli for both of them. Unfortunately usual test code fails at d.status line. The same code works fine with older device. Any advice?
Thanks.
Pino.

python3.7 tuyacmd2.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "tuyacmd2.py", line 6, in <module> data = d.status() # NOTE this does NOT require a valid key File "/www/cgi-bin/protected/tuya/python-tuya/new/pytuya/__init__.py", line 279, in status data = self._send_receive(payload) File "/www/cgi-bin/protected/tuya/python-tuya/new/pytuya/__init__.py", line 177, in _send_receive data = s.recv(1024) socket.timeout: timed out

Update: setting version to 3.3 made d.status work but now when I try to set DPS 1 I receive:
Dictionary {'devId': 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxx', 'dps': {'1': True, '9': 0, '18': 0, '19': 0, '20': 2333, '21': 1, '22': 595, '23': 27972, '24': 15484, '25': 1345}} state (bool, true is ON) True Traceback (most recent call last): File "tuyacmd2.py", line 12, in <module> data = d.set_status(not switch_state) # This requires a valid key File "/www/cgi-bin/protected/tuya/python-tuya/new/pytuya/__init__.py", line 329, in set_status data = self._send_receive(payload) File "/www/cgi-bin/protected/tuya/python-tuya/new/pytuya/__init__.py", line 177, in _send_receive data = s.recv(1024) ConnectionResetError: [Errno 104] Connection reset by peer

IMPORTANT: Using latest tuya-cli to set values works.

Did you resolve it ???

Yes, I implemented a retry logic found on the forum: Maybe this one. Not an ideal solution but worked.

Hi I used the same but still not able to run device. One question -
How did you extract the deviceKey ?
I have deviceId, IP and port = 6888.
But device Key is something hard to find and my firmware is 1.0.1 does that affect way I use the library?

I used the usual procedure (proxy configured on my celphone + tuya-cli on my linux pc) BUT I had to:

1. Install older Smart Life app on my android phone (3.12.6 version. Find on the web) and disable updates on google play for this app
2. Disable ipv6 on my ubuntu pc
3. Disable data on my cellular.

Without these steps nothing worked. With them I have been able to extract the keys.

Regards.

Thanks. I will try it out. But here are you capturing packets ? Or do you have any link for step by step procedure to setup tuya-cli and also extract keys?

you need the "Linking a Tuya Device with MITM (deprecated)"
