CoverDevice don't close

[fdaforno]

Hi all
i still implementing a http rest service that control my tuya devices at home
i have a issue wiht CoverDevices . i'm able to open it send the right command but i'm not able to close
What i doing wrong?

this is a snippet of my code

def send_command():
    req_data = request.get_json()
    
    device_id = req_data.get('device_id')
    local_key = req_data.get('localkey')
    device_ip = req_data.get('device_ip')
    command = req_data.get('command')  # Default to True for opening the blinds

    if not device_id or not local_key:
        return jsonify({'error': 'Missing device_id or localkey'}), 400
    
    d = tinytuya.CoverDevice(device_id, device_ip, local_key)
    d.set_version(3.3)
    if command == "open":
        print("Open the windows")
        d.open_cover(switch=1)
        return jsonify({'success': True})
    elif command == "close":

        print("Close the windows")
        d.close_cover(switch=1)
        return jsonify({'success': True})

Hi @fdaforno that looks valid (I updated your post to format the python). Does it work outside the flask rest app if you just issue the commands as a script? If not, I would check to see if your Tuya cover device is using a different command. Run this monitor script and then use the controls on the device itself or the SmartLIfe app to open/close the cover. It may record and send the updates.

Hi @jasonacox i tried the monitor, when i send the commnad to close from the app i receive this:
Received Payload: {'dps': {'1': 'close'}, 't': 1716151430}

i create a super easy app to test only the close function with debug mode true ad seems OPEN is hardcoded some where :-( look the debug output below

import tinytuya

DEVICEIP = "192.168.250.134"

DEVICEVERS = "3.3"


print("TinyTuya - TEST [%s]\n" % tinytuya.__version__)
print('TESTING: Device %s at %s with key %s version %s' %
      (DEVICEID, DEVICEIP, DEVICEKEY, DEVICEVERS))


d = tinytuya.CoverDevice(DEVICEID, DEVICEIP, DEVICEKEY)
tinytuya.set_debug(True)
d.set_version(3.3)
d.close_cover(switch=1)

Yes, I see the problem. The CoverDevice assumes the cover device is closed by setting DPS 1 to "off" but your device wants it to be "close". You can switch to the OutletDevice class and use something like this:

import tinytuya

d = tinytuya.OutletDevice(DEVICEID, DEVICEIP, DEVICEKEY)
tinytuya.set_debug(True)
d.set_version(3.3)

# Close
d.set_value(1, 'close')

# Open
d.set_value(1, 'open')
