## Proposed change
**The following is my personal opinion.**
I've fixed/…written/refactored large parts of the Tuya integration; the fact remains, Tuya isn't fixable.
### Please don't **EVER** buy Tuya stuff
It is just junk; their API is inconsistent, and device manufacturers customize their devices even more. No matter how many issues, PRs, or anything else: Tuya is simply not fixable, as their spec and software are simply a shitshow.
If you do get a device (or have one), make sure you can flash it or try to flash it with ESPHome or anything else.
I'm removing myself as integration owner, as my efforts have been useless and pretty exhausting, to be honest. I still think there are ways to achieve a usable integration (using quirks kinda things in between), but the mountains of work to make that happen for all the off-key Tuya devices out there feel like a mission impossible right now. Then again, having to add such a thing for an API provided by a single manufacturer is just weird to start with.
Maybe things will turn around in the future; right now, I just want fewer notifications about Tuya issues in my inbox.
