This [node-red flow](https://github.com/msillano/tuyaDAEMON/blob/main/Tuya_cloud_API/nr_Tuya_OpenAPI_2.0.json.zip) implements experimental access to Tuya Cloud API to get data or perform instructions programmatically, without using the 'SmartLife' App or the 'Tuya Development Platform'.

The `nr_Tuya_OpenAPI_2.0` flow is a minimal implementation, for testing and API exploration, essentially an examples collection.

The use of OpenAPI could help in some tedious manual steps still required, such as identifying the DPs of a new device.
