Check out their great guide on how to get your device id/device key out of the Tuya Smart/Smart Life app to get started. Once you got these device credentials, you will be able to configure and use this input node for NodeRED.

Installation
You can install the package from the public npm registry using npm or the tooling provided by the NodeRED-GUI. Check out the NodeRED guide on adding nodes.
Development - how to build
You should be able to build the nodes executing
npm install
npm run-script build
To test them I use docker and mount the dist directory to /data/nodes like this docker run -it --name tuya-test-container -p 1880:1880 -v $(pwd)/dist/lib:/data/nodes nodered/node-red-docker. Be aware that by using this shortcut you have to ensure the dependencies of the nodes inside the container have to be installed manually docker exec -it tuya-test-container bash -c 'cd /data && npm i [email protected] --upgrade'.
