With a smart light app, users can take full control of smart lights in their homes. Change the brightness and colors of lights and personalize lighting ambiance with just a few taps.
StepsStep 1: What is a smart light?Tuya provides five types of smart lights in terms of color temperature and colors. The white and colored light (RGBCW) can switch between white light mode and colored light mode. Note that both modes cannot be enabled simultaneously.
RGB and HSV are the most widely used color models.
1.RGB color model
The RGB (red, green, blue) color model is an additive color model in which red, green, and blue light are added together in various ways to reproduce a broad array of colors. The main purpose of the RGB color model is for the sensing, representation, and display of images in electronic systems. Each component is an integer value from 0 to 255. White is represented by 255, 255, 255, and black is represented by 0, 0, 0.
2.HSV color model
HSV (hue, saturation, value) is a color model that specifies colors based on the dimensions of color most intuitive to human cognition. It is an alternative representation of the RGB color model and more closely aligns with the way human vision perceives color-making attributes.
- Hue is the angle counterclockwise around the color cone, representing the actual color itself. Its value ranges from 0° to 360°, typically 0° is red, 60° yellow, 120° green, 180° cyan, 240° blue, and 300° magenta.
- Saturation represents the vibrancy of the color. It is the distance from the center of a circular cross-section of the cone. Its value ranges from 0.0 to 1.0, where 0.0 is a shade of grey and 1.0 is the full color.
- Value is the brightness of the color. Its value ranges from 0.0 (black) to 1.0 (white).
You need to get the following steps ready before you get into developing a smart light app.
1.Log in to the Tuya IoT Platform.
2.Select a product category.
3.Select a product.
4.Complete the basic information about the product.
5.For more information, see Create Products.
6.Select and download development tools.
7.Set up an integrated development environment (IDE).
8.For more information, see Build Development Environment.
Step 3: Set functionsAfter you create a product, you can set functions for this product, including standard functions, custom functions, and cloud functions. The data point (DP) is the abstraction of a smart device function. It represents product functions and parameters. For more information, see Function Definition.
For example, suppose the PID of a product is 7z8knex5zdx80***, and its DPs are as follows:
For more information about the concept of the panel, see Terms. For more information about panel types, see Design App UI.
1.Select a desired panel.
Note: Templates marked with Enterprise version are only available for an enterprise account. You can upgrade your account and explore more templates.
2.Scan the QR code with the Tuya Smart app to add the virtual device to the app.
3.Click Change and select Panel SDK.
Step 5: Initialize project- Install Tuya development kit
macOS and Linux
Tuya provides an official command line interface (CLI) that is integrated with Tuya’s Panel Studio. Make sure to install this tool for efficient development. The installation command is as follows.
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tuya/tuya-panel-cli/main/install.sh | shNote: If this is your first installation, set up the environment variable as per the instruction.
Windows PowerShell
iwr https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tuya/tuya-panel-cli/main/install.ps1 -useb | iexRun tuya-panel-cli help to see if all available commands are printed to determine whether the installation is successful.
Note: The iwr command cannot run on early versions of PowerShell. To resolve this problem, see iwr cannot be recognized on Windows.Initialize the template project
$ tuya-panel-cli init MyLampApp
$ cd MyLampApp
$ yarn && yarn startOpen the RN Panel Dev app to scan the QR code and add the target virtual device to the app.
Note: Your host machine and mobile phone must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
- Debugging for iOS
1.Open the RN Panel Dev app, register, and log in.
2.Click RN Debug in the bottom bar to enter the RN debugging setting page.
3.Enable the RN debugging function at the top center of the page. Enter the product ID, local debugging IP address, local debugging port, and bundle (used to load the local bundle).
4.After the setting is completed, return to the homepage and enter the designated panel to load the local resource bundle.
5.To view the debug log or enable hot reload, open the panel interface, and shake your mobile phone.
- Debugging for Android
1.Find the com.ty.panel.dev application.To view the debug log or enable hot reload, open the panel interface, and shake your mobile phone.
2.Enter the IP address of the host machine, click OK, and then turn it on.
3.Open the RN Panel Dev app, register, and log in.
4.In the designated panel, shake your mobile phone and select reload in the prompt to load the local resource bundle.
5.To view the debug log or enable hot reload, open the panel interface, and shake your mobile phone.
The following figure shows a successful run.

tuya-panel-cli package ./The building process will start only after the project validation is completed.
tuya-panel-kit-cli will pack the selected project into a temporary directory in the beginning, and then it will automatically open the temporary directory when the process is completed.
The packaging will generate three UI packages. Examples of three package names are as follows:
{name}-android*{rnVersion}*{version}.tar.gz Panel UI package for Android
{name}-ios*{rnVersion}*{version}.tar.gz Panel UI package for iOS
{name}-sources.tar.gz Source packageNote: If errors occur in the packaging process, fix the source code errors, and then rebuild the project. Or you can turn to developer@tuya.com for help with your company name and contact information attached in your email.- Upload UI package.
- Generate a QR code.
You can click Set panel test account to set Tuya Smart app accounts for testing purposes. And you can quickly experience the UI package by scanning the QR code.
- Publish and go online.
Click Publish Online to publish the UI packages after preview. After it is published online, an online record of the latest UI package will be generated at the bottom of the page.
