why SSID and Wifi Password?

[jampy]

If I'm not wrong, this package links a Tuya-based device via a wifi network (not Bluetooth).

That implies that the device must somehow already be connected to the wireless AP.

So, why must the same wireless secrets be provided again while linking?

You are correct that it links via Wi-Fi. However, it does so very cleverly by encoding the data as the length of UDP broadcast packets. This means your phone or whatever’s giving the credentials needs to be linked to *a* network but the device does not.
