The bug / issue

Got a smart switch through Smart Life. Registered the right things on Tuya IOT platform. Entered the right credentials into tuya-smart-device node in Node-RED. Can confirm that the switch is working through IOS app as well as Tuya debug mode, but when the node is running in Node-RED, I am getting

27 Sep 19:21:01 - [error] [tuya-smart-device:Switch] find() timed out. Is the device powered on and the ID or IP correct?
27 Sep 19:21:01 - [info] [tuya-smart-device:Switch] findDevice(): Cannot find the device, re-trying...
27 Sep 19:21:02 - [info] [tuya-smart-device:Switch] findDevice(): Initiating the find command

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Configure Smart Life device
  2. Configure Smart Life device through Tuya IOT Platform, fetch credentials (key/secret etc)
  3. Configure and use tuya-cli to fetch ID and key for the switch (tried with IP as well as with ID)
  4. See error

Expected behavior
I'd expect the node to connect and eventually me being able to flip the swithc on and off

Debug Output

27 Sep 19:23:35 - [error] [tuya-smart-device:Switch] find() timed out. Is the device powered on and the ID or IP correct?
27 Sep 19:23:35 - [info] [tuya-smart-device:Switch] findDevice(): Cannot find the device, re-trying...
27 Sep 19:23:36 - [info] [tuya-smart-device:Switch] findDevice(): Initiating the find command

Desktop:

  • OS: MacOS OSX Big Sur
  • OS Version 11.7
  • Node Version 17.4.0

Additional context
New to the whole spiel of Node-Red, Tuya, etc, so apologies if I filed this in the wrong place.

If I add in the IP as well as changing the protocol to 3.3 , I am getting the following log:

Closing: installed the device through tuya app, got credentials through tuya iot website and it's working fine with a tuya based nodered module
