TuyaOpen is an open-source AI+IoT development framework for building intelligent, connected devices. It targets developers and researchers looking to integrate multimodal AI, including speech and vision, with hardware platforms like ESP32 and Tuya's own modules, enabling rapid prototyping and cloud connectivity.

How It Works

The framework provides an SDK for developing embedded AI+IoT applications. It supports various chipsets and RTOS-like environments, facilitating the integration of Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR), Keyword Spotting (KWS), Text-to-Speech (TTS), and Speech-to-Text (STT). It also offers seamless integration with major LLMs and AI platforms, allowing for advanced multimodal AI features and connectivity to the Tuya Cloud for remote control and OTA updates.

Quick Start & Requirements

• Installation: The framework can be run directly on Ubuntu or integrated with specific hardware modules. Links to Arduino and Luanode integrations are provided.
• Prerequisites: Support for various Tuya modules (T2, T3, T5), ESP32/ESP32C3/ESP32S3, LN882H, and BK7231N chipsets. Specific UART configurations are noted for debugging.
