HOW TO - Get All Local Tuya Keys (ALL KEYS, SIMPLE, NO SOLDERING)

In this video we will be looking at a way to extract all of your Local Keys for all of your Tuya Devices. This will allow you to control your devices locally (NO TUYA CLOUD). This method uses Blue Stacks to emulate the Smart Life app (You can use your rooted android device instead). The Smart Life app generates a preference file that holds all the keys. We then get this file and take the keys from it!

No flashing! No soldering required.

Bit of a long winded intro sorry! The intro was more to address people that have had issues with the Tuya Developers tool method.

PLEASE NOTE - You must use the older version of Smart Life as the preference file is no longer generated in the new App.

I created this video as a follow up to my previous Local Tuya video. Since creating that video Tuya have changed there API stopping a method I showed for getting your keys.

If your interested in that video you can find it

This method will work until Tuya decide to block logins from older Smart Life Apps.
