PowerSync ⚡

PowerSync is a sleek, tech-forward application that gives you command over your smart devices with a focus on controlling smart lighting. With PowerSync, users can control their Tuya-compatible smart lights. The interface is built with simplicity in mind, allowing users to toggle lights on and off directly from the terminal.

🚀 Future expansions include device monitoring, custom commands, and automation to make PowerSync your ultimate smart home controller!

Installation 🛠️

Prerequisites

• Python 3.6+ 🐍
• A virtual environment (recommended) 🌐
• Tuya-compatible smart lights 💡
• pip for installing Python packages 📦

Steps to Set Up PowerSync

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone [email protected]:dendycodes/PowerSync.git
   cd powersync

2. Create a virtual environment:

   python3 -m venv venv
   source venv/bin/activate # On macOS/Linux

3. Install dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Set up your environment variables: Create a .env file in the root folder with your Tuya API details:

   ENDPOINT=https://openapi.tuyaus.com
   ACCESS_ID=your_access_id
   ACCESS_KEY=your_access_key
   

5. Run PowerSync:

   python3 tuya_control.py

• Press [Enter] to toggle the lights ON/OFF 💡.
• Type q to exit the app 🛑.

Future Plans 🚀

We're just getting started! PowerSync will evolve into a full-fledged smart device controller. Here's what you can expect in future versions:

1. Device Dashboard: Display all connected devices and their statuses.
2. Custom Commands: Adjust device settings (e.g., brightness, color, modes) from the app.
3. Multi-Device Management: Manage and synchronize actions across multiple devices.
4. Automation & Scheduling: Automate tasks such as turning lights on/off at certain times.
5. Cross-Platform Interfaces: A GUI for users who prefer a visual interface, while retaining the CLI for power users.
