Our Mission

The next generation of hardware won’t just run apps. It will understand intent and act on it. Our job is to make that capability the default — for every device.

— The TuyaOpen team

Why we exist

Hardware is shifting from app-first to agent-first

For a decade, smart devices meant an app with fixed buttons, and the intelligence lived in menus the user had to learn. That era is ending.

The next wave routes human intent through an AI agent that reaches the device’s real capabilities — but building that today is hard: fragmented chips, closed protocols, and months of plumbing before the first conversation.

We believe agentic capability should be a default, not a privilege. TuyaOpen exists to collapse that gap — so a maker, a startup, and an enterprise can all ship intelligent hardware on the same open foundation.

What we stand for

The principles behind everything we build

Agent connectivity for every device

Bring AI agent connectivity and protocol capabilities to the full hardware spectrum — from low-power Wi-Fi & BLE MCUs to Linux-class boards.

Open by default

Open source, open protocols, no lock-in. Proven on billions of devices, free for you to inspect, fork, and ship.

Community-driven

Built in the open with developers worldwide. Roadmaps, issues, and code evolve together with the people who use them.

Simple to production

Prototype in hours, mass-produce in days. The hard parts — security, OTA, cloud, certification — come integrated.
