Looking forward to Covers Type accessories implementation.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

It's more like the feature request and there's no problem about it. I just happened to have 3 tuya covers from 2 manufacturer and I am now having to use the RF Signal to control it in homekit by bridging it with broadlink rm plugin. It would be a whole lot better experience to control it with Tuya Web API since the state of the device can be reported correctly along with the % of opening and closing. Since Tuya API supports Covers, just which it could be implemented in the plugin.

Describe the solution you'd like
I want to be able to control covers by homekit natively without relying on RF Signal since RF doesn't report the current state of the devices.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Staying with RF Signal would be what I would do. But as said, the real state of the devices are not reported so it's quite a mess sometimes.

Additional context
I do have 3 covers from 2 manufacturers that use Tuya Web API. I am currently using Smart Life app. My only computer in my house is Macbook Air (I don't have Window) so if I can help extracting any useful information from you, please kindly instruct and I will do so.

Hello, thank you for your interests.

Please follow the steps outlined in the readme under: How to check whether the API this library uses can control your device?

Thanks for the reply.

I think it's supported but as it's a cover type, it's not supported by this plugin yet. Hopefully it could work soon.

Thank you for this information, it turns out that support for the cover accessory is already tracked in #18

Closing this issue to prevent duplicating information.
