Instructions for autonomous agents

Development environment

  • This project is a Home Assistant integration.
  • The source languages are Python, YAML and JSON
  • package management is using uv
  • Use uv run ... to run commands on the project

Coding standards

  • Python files should be checked with uv run ruff check, uv run ruff check --select -I
  • Python files should be formatted consistently with uv run ruff format
  • YAML files for device configuration should be checked with uv run yamllint
  • YAML files for device configuration must be located in the custom_components/tuya_local/devices folder
  • Python files implementing the HA integration must be located in custom_components/tuya_local and its subfolders, with unit tests in tests and its subfolders.
  • JSON files for translations should be located in the custom_components/tuya_local/translations folder.
  • Icons should be defined in custom_components/tuya_local/icons.json, and use icons from the material design icons at https://pictogrammers.com/library/mdi/
  • Where possible, new devices should use existing translation_keys which are present in custom_components/tuya_local/translations/*.json and custom/components/tuya_local/icons.json
  • if new translation_keys are added, they should be generic, not device specific, and translations should be added to all files in custom_components/tuya_local/translations and relevant icons to custom_components/tuya_local/icons.json. Usually it is best to submit additional translations as a separate PR request from new device submissions, as they can involve a lot of rework to existing configs.
  • Device and entity names should follow the Home Assistant naming guidelines. Only the first word should be capitalised.
  • Try to keep device and entity names concise.
  • Top level names should be unbranded and without redundant words like "Smart" or "WiFi".

Testing instructions

  • Find the CI plan in the .github/workflows folder
  • Ignore the .github/workflows/hacs-validate.yml workflow if not running from the main repository at https://github.com/make-all/tuya-local
  • run uv run pytest to run every test defined for the project
  • run uv run pytest tests/test_device_config.py to test only yaml file changes or additions
  • run uv run pytest tests/test_translations.py to test only json file changes or additions
  • do not add new tests if only making a yaml or json file change
  • add new tests if making a python file change that introduces new functionality
  • fix any test or lint failures until the whole test suite passes
  • tests under tests/devices are obsolete, do not add any additional tests here.

PR instructions

  • Always run uv run ruff check ., uv run ruff check --select -I ., uv run ruff format --check . and uv run yamllint custom_components/tuya_local/devices before committing
