Existing Python library for direct LAN control of Tuya/Atomi

Atomi makes a ton of inexpensive devices that as far as I know, Indigo has no way to connect to.

But this exists:

https://github.com/jasonacox/tinytuya

"This python module controls and reads state of Tuya compatible WiFi Smart Devices (Plugs, Switches, Lights, Window Covers, etc.) using the local area network (LAN) or the cloud (TuyaCloud API). This is a compatible replacement for the pytuya PyPI module and currently supports Tuya Protocols 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4 and 3.5.

Tuya devices are designed to communicate with the TuyaCloud but most also expose a local area network API. This allows us to directly control the devices without using the cloud. This python module provides a way to poll status and issue commands to these devices.

TinyTuya can also connect to the Tuya Cloud to poll status and issue commands to Tuya devices."

(emphasis added.)

I think my "poke the Python with a stick" level of skill is below what's needed, but I wonder if someone more skilled might be able to leverage this library into a plugin.

Am I wrong in thinking that existing tuya plugin requires cloud routing?
