Tuya Smart (NYSE:TUYA) has introduced Tuya Cloud Devices, an open-source software skill designed to enable Meta’s (NASDAQ:META) Muse artificial intelligence agent to monitor and control compatible smart home devices through natural-language commands.
The integration, named gadget-tuya-cloud-devices, connects to Tuya’s cloud infrastructure using a single API key. According to the company, it does not require local device credentials, a shared network connection or modifications to existing device firmware.
Muse, launched by Meta in September 2026, is a cloud-based personal AI agent available in the United States and Canada. The new integration extends its functionality to connected devices across more than 3,000 hardware categories supported by Tuya’s platform.
Device Management and Security Features
The software uses each device’s Thing Model, a standardized description of its functions, to identify available controls and ensure commands remain within permitted operating parameters.
Additional safeguards include confirmation requests when multiple devices match a command, device status verification within one to two seconds after an instruction and a minimum 30-minute interval between event-triggered notifications.
Supported capabilities include device control, status monitoring, room management, camera snapshots, video recordings of up to 60 seconds and automated actions triggered by changes in device settings.
Certain functions, including door lock operation, live video streaming, firmware updates and device removal, remain restricted to the Tuya application.
Open-Source Availability and Developer Access
Tuya Cloud Devices is available through the company’s official GitHub repository, while users can request a free API key through tuya.ai.
Developers can also incorporate the technology into other AI agents using the open-source tuya-openclaw-skills repository.
As of June 30, 2026, Tuya reported more than 2.09 million registered AI developers across over 200 countries and regions.
