Yeah, my rule is that any Tuya device that uses Wifi is to be avoided. I've got plenty of Tuya bulbs and power meters that use Zigbee, though, and they're alright but they talk directly to Home Assistant.

    any ... device that uses Wifi is to be avoided

    Same here with TPLink. I avoid Tapo for its more anti-consumer features like cloud dependence and WiFi, and stick to Kasa, but I do have a KP303 which was pretty much the only smart strip in production, and unlike the other Kasa plugs the strip can't be configured without logging in.
