I wanted Home Assistant in my system tray, so I built Lilac

Описание и применение

Lilac — приложение в системном лотке, позволяющее управлять всеми устройствами Tuya/Smart Life одним кликом, без отдельного сервера.

Задача

Need a single tray app to control all Tuya/Smart Life devices without running a separate server.

Результат

Lilac enables one‑click control of all Tuya/Smart Life gadgets from the system tray, eliminating the need for multiple apps or a dedicated server.

Рабочий процесс

• Discover Tuya devices on LAN via UDP broadcasts
• Log into Smart Life using a QR code to obtain local keys
• Store keys in OS keychain
• Send commands to devices over LAN using local keys
• Fallback to cloud for devices not reachable locally

Доказательства

Control your Tuya / Smart Life gadgets from the menu bar — over your own network.

Источник

It finds them on the network, logs into Smart Life once with a QR code to grab the local keys, and after that talks to the devices directly over the LAN.

Источник

The project is vibe‑coded. It was built in a long conversation between a human and an AI… It has a real test suite… but it is experimental — expect rough edges and read the code before trusting it with anything important.
