How to implement plugins

Pay attention to several JSON files

• The entry file index.js. Add your desired accessory type to the addAccessory() function and create the xx_accessy.js file.

• The xx_accessory.js file. In this file, traverse your newly created function in refreshAccessoryServiceIfNeed() and get the Characteristic corresponding to a service.

• The tuyaopenapi.js file contains device related APIs.
• The tuyamqttapi.js file supports the MQTT service.
