Repository

https://github.com/rospogrigio/localtuya/

Checklist

• I understand that this form should only be used for repositories that needs to be removed from HACS
• I understand that a bug is not reason enough to have a repository removed
• The repository is currently shipped as a default repository in HACS
• I have tried to get the authors attention to the reason for removal

Why should this be removed?

The default LocalTuya repo, https://github.com/rospogrigio/localtuya has lost development momentum, lacking any substantive updates over the last few years.
At the time of writing, there are 1.2k issues logged and 117 open PRs.

Recommended replacement with https://github.com/xZetsubou/hass-localtuya

xZetsubou's fork has significantly improved and advanced the original project.
It's regularly maintained, well managed and brings a highly engaged lead developer and community.
https://github.com/xZetsubou/hass-localtuya

xZetsubou's fork is over 500 commits ahead of the upstream project at the time of writing.
