${homeListResponse.Msg}

Error message

${homeListResponse.Msg}

What it means

GetHomeList returns this error when the Tuya Smart API responds with Success=false; homeListResponse.Msg is passed directly to errors.New. The request reached the Tuya cloud, but the home-list query was rejected (auth/token problem, wrong home, or cloud failure). The library propagates the API's own message instead of inventing one.

Solutions

1. Read the Msg content to identify the exact Tuya failure (auth vs. not-found vs. server error).
2. Refresh the session: re-run initToken/PasswordLogin flow, then retry GetHomeList.
3. Validate credentials and region configuration for the client.
4. Retry with backoff only for transient messages (timeouts, server busy).
5. Capture the raw response in logs for diagnosis.

Example fix

// before
homes, err := client.GetHomeList()
if err != nil {
    return err
}
// after
homes, err := client.GetHomeList()
if err != nil {
    return fmt.Errorf("tuya GetHomeList: %w", err)
}

ensure session token is fresh (call initToken/login recently) before GetHomeList()

homes, err := client.GetHomeList()
if err != nil {
    if isAuthError(err) { relogin(); homes, err = client.GetHomeList() }
    if err != nil { return fmt.Errorf("tuya home list: %w", err) }
}

When it happens

Trigger: Calling TuyaSmartApiClient.GetHomeList() when the Tuya API response has Success=false and a non-empty Msg field.

Common situations: Access token expired between login and the call; user account has no homes or was revoked; wrong region endpoint; Tuya cloud rate limiting.
