Tuya Launches Open-Source Skill Letting Meta's Muse Control 3,000+ Smart Device Categories

Tuya released Tuya Cloud Devices, an official open-source skill that lets Meta's personal AI agent, Muse, query and control smart devices using natural language and a single API key, the company said on November 12, 2026. Moomoo reported the release, which covers 3,000+ device categories and requires no local device keys, same-network connection, or firmware changes.

How Tuya Cloud Devices Connects Muse to Home Hardware

The skill, named gadget-tuya-cloud-devices, is adapted from tuya-smart-control, Tuya's official open-source AI skill, and is written as a plain Markdown file following the Muse Gadgets specification. Users apply for a free API key on the Tuya AI website; the key starts with "sk-" and the two characters that follow identify the data center, so the skill automatically selects the correct endpoint from seven data centers. Muse calls devices through Tuya's cloud API, and the skill reads each device's standardized Thing Model before generating commands based on its read/write permissions, value ranges, and increments.

Meta launched Muse in September 2026 as a personal AI agent that runs on a cloud-based virtual machine dedicated to each user and can continue handling tasks such as email and scheduling after the app is closed. Meta has open-sourced Muse Gadgets, a hardware interface that lets developers build AI toys, desktop robots, and e-ink display panels using mainstream Wi-Fi MCU development boards or Raspberry Pi with the official open-source SDK. Tuya said the skill bridges those add-on devices and the mass-produced smart devices already in homes.

Tuya's Platform Scale Behind the Skill

According to akta.pro company records, Tuya's platform supports 100M+ connected devices globally, with service capacity to process concurrent requests from over 10 million users. The same records show the company held more than $1 billion in cash, cash equivalents, time deposits, and treasury securities as of Q1 2026, and reported 1,970,000+ global developers from more than 200 countries and regions as of March 2026.

Earlier Tuya Launches Leading to the Muse Skill

Tuya unveiled its AI companion robot Doova at IFA 2026 in Berlin, targeting elderly people living alone, with the robot responding to "Hey Tuya, Help" and using LiDAR and microphones to detect falls, Presseportal reported in September 2026. In June 2026, Tuya launched its Conow AI-driven home energy product portfolio and Conow AIX orchestration platform at Intersolar Europe 2026 in Munich, marking its formal entry into the European residential energy market, according to akta.pro company records. Tuya also announced a strategic partnership with Zeroth in June 2026 to co-develop robot-driven smart living experiences, positioning its Physical AI Engine and OmniMem as the AI layer for home service robots.

Muse Availability and Tuya's Development Roadmap

Muse is currently available to users in the United States and Canada. Tuya said it will continue to advance the skill in areas including deeper integration across more device categories, camera visual understanding, intelligent energy-consumption analysis, and scenario automation templates.
