CBI Astute WiFi Circuit Breaker - Full Tuya name: ASC (Wi-Fi) ver 2

[bbs2web]

I'm looking for help on getting readings from a tuya device. I initially tried with localtuya and now tuya-local but sensors for current, voltage and power only update when I have the 'Tuya Smart' app open. Either I need to grant the switches access to the internet, then I can select the WiFi circuit breaker and view the sensor readings via the app with my phone being connected to any network that provides internet. Alternatively I completely firewall the device from having any internet access whatsoever, including DNS queries and can then see the sensor readings when my phone is in the same network as what the WiFI circuit breakers connect to.

In both cases, HomeAssistant starts tracking the sensor data but this immediately ceases whenever I close the app or disconnect my phone.

Switch state continues to work, as does editing the timer and changing the default state (on, off or memory).

My tuya-local integration appears to be completely local, when I block internet for the switches, restart them and then interact with them via HomeAssistant. The senor readings are the only part that don't update, any clue if I can run tinytuya somewhere to make the switches think that the app is running, so that they report utilisation?

PS: The issue is not specific to tuya-local, as tinytuya and local-tuya yield the same result. Herewith the link to the custom device type, based almost entirely on the cbi_astute_outdoor_smartswitch device.

HomeAssistant integration diagnostic sensors don't update:

If I however open the 'Tuya Smart' app, select the WiFi circuit breaker and then select the energy screen:

Any idea how I could try to identify how the app is telling the switch to start reporting metrics?

Thought it was something on my side, I hadn't included Power Management in the authorised service APIs. Once I included it the values update automatically every 30 seconds or so. Don't think that these would however update if I then subsequently firewall the switches though:
