General questions and issue

Hi @vinodsr,
I'm a newbie in the field of Tuya, but I found your node-red module very interesting.
I've just bought a Wi-Fi switch and now I want to connect it to my personal home-management system (on node-red).

Said this, I'm not able to let your module working.
I followed your instruction, I obtained the keys according to
https://github.com/codetheweb/tuyapi/blob/master/docs/SETUP.md
but I get the error:
"An error had occured Error: find() timed out. Is the device powered on and the ID or IP correct? {}".

Just to be sure the data entered are ok, I tried some HTTP Request with API Explorer in IoT.Tuya (using the code extracted), and everything worked. Now I would like to understand if I configured your node wrongly or not.
I noticed other people has same issue, but I don't know if I did everything properly.

What I cannot clearly understand from your code is:

• Does your code interact with the device through Tuya Cloud? If so, how can I be sure your code is connecting to Europe server and not Chinese/American/Indian server? Becasue I saw the device is reachable only in Europe server.
• Or does it communcate directly within the LAN? In case, how can I set the correct LAN IP?
• According to TuyApi, which is the registration method your code support?
  > Listing Tuya devices from the Tuya Smart or Smart Life apps,
  > Linking a Tuya device with Smart Link,
  > DEPRECATED - Linking a Tuya Device with MITM?

For the moment, I think the questions are enough.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Best regards,
Riccardo
