Tuya Enables Meta Muse AI to Control Smart Home Devices

Tuya Smart introduces an open-source Skill that enables Meta’s Muse AI agent to control compatible smart home devices through natural-language commands, connecting products across more than 3,000 hardware categories.

Tuya Smart has launched Tuya Cloud Devices, an open-source Skill that enables Meta’s personal AI agent, Muse, to access and control compatible smart home devices through natural-language commands. The solution connects AI agents with existing Tuya-powered devices, allowing users to manage household appliances and connected systems without requiring individual device keys, local network access or firmware modifications.

The launch addresses a key limitation in the development of AI-powered smart homes. While AI agents increasingly support connected hardware and automated tasks, accessing devices already installed in homes often requires complicated configurations. Developers and users typically need to obtain local device keys, verify communication protocols and configure individual device capabilities. These requirements can make integration difficult, particularly when devices are reconnected to a network.

Tuya Cloud Devices simplifies this process through the company's cloud infrastructure. Users can connect their Tuya accounts to Muse using a single API key, which is available through Tuya's AI platform. The Skill automatically identifies the appropriate regional data centre, reducing the need for manual configuration. Since communication takes place through Tuya's cloud APIs, compatible devices do not need to operate on the same local network as the AI agent.

The solution also uses Tuya's standardised Thing Model to identify device capabilities and determine which commands can be executed. Before issuing instructions, the Skill checks device permissions, supported values and operating ranges. This approach enables a single integration to support multiple product categories without requiring separate configurations for individual device models.

Through natural-language interactions, users can control lighting, power outlets, air conditioners, cameras and sensors. They can request actions such as dimming living room lights, checking whether a bedroom light is switched on or listing devices connected to a particular room. The system also supports device monitoring, energy-consumption queries, camera snapshots and event-based automation.

Tuya incorporates safety measures into the integration. The Skill checks device availability, requests confirmation when multiple devices match a command and verifies whether an instruction has been successfully executed. It also restricts access to certain sensitive operations, including door-lock control, firmware upgrades and network configuration.

The platform supports more than 3,000 smart hardware categories across over 200 countries and regions. By making device connectivity accessible through an open-source framework, Tuya aims to expand interoperability between AI agents and existing smart home ecosystems, moving connected homes towards more intuitive, conversational control.
