    Part, I'm looking and reading various forums and I already have a definite confusion in my head, I want to build a small simple smart home system, light control, garage and entrance gate (somfy) some temperature sensor and that's it. I have added to the conclusion that I will head into zigbee tuya, what do you guys think? What gateway should I buy to be as compatible as possible? Something like this could be?

    Do you want to connect the gateway to the router via an Ethernet cable or via Wi-Fi?

    It doesn't matter to me, the gateway will be next to the router anyway, so it will probably be wired, I'm just looking for a proven device because there is a lot on the market and you don't know what to buy.

    As for a tried and tested version, how I use one that looks like the one in the Allegro auction number "11544179239".

    I also bought on Allegro, but I see that the seller is now offering a different model - auction number "12140699340"

    I can't remember exactly, but a gateway with Wi-Fi has reduced some resources and maybe fewer devices it can handle, or fewer scenarios. If you can it's better to buy a gateway with an Ethernet port.

    Not so old yet, I'll dig it out. ;) And how, did a fellow author finally buy one of these gates?

    I ask because I have also started my adventure with a simple home automation system. I've been playing around with WiFi bulbs via TUYA for a few months now and it was finally time for ZigBee and some kind of gateway though. :D Well, and above all, the extension modules. A gateway necessarily on cable, I have my eye on two, one of which looks like the one mentioned above.

    Anyone can comment on this equipment? No difference at all, or is there a difference though?

    @siudkowski I use such a gateway all the time as the photo I inserted above. I don't know of any others.

    What do you say about gateways from BT? Is it worth it?

    Multi-mode gateways are supported by Tuya. Just can you buy Bluetooth sensors for the Tuya smart home?
    I have Xaomi cameras that can work as a Bluetooth gateway, but I still have all my devices connected via Wi-Fi. Equally, everything I have from Amazon only uses Wi-Fi.

    I tried plugging in regular devices on BT and it didn't work.

    It doesn't work like that unfortunately. I too played around with these multi and Bluetooth for a while, but this is a completely different tale. A communication standard is just a communication standard, it doesn't mean any compatibility with management systems. And even if it turns out that something works with something, the stability and sometimes also the integrations are different. For me it is a waste of time, it is better to decide on a specific environment, designed specifically for home automation and select the hardware, then you can play around. For Bluetooth you can possibly think about BLE.

    In addition, Bluetooth has a much shorter range, even in a small flat with more solid walls it can make communication impossible. With WiFi you can put additional access points, for BLE I know that there is also such a thing, but it misses the point in my opinion. This is why I opted for Zigbee.

    And coming back to my question and the author's - so no one had experience with these gateways what I threw in? There is a large selection of various TUYA relays and terminal devices in PL, but if I am looking for a gateway and still with an Ethernet socket, it is basically only these 3 models. In this case, it remains to test it yourself. ;) .

    Greetings.

    I have a goal: Zigbee Tuya - what gateway/central for light control, Somfy gates, temperature sensor? .

    Unfortunately I have a problem with setting the PIR as an alarm (Smart Protect).
    Zigbee Tuya - what gateway/central for light control, Somfy gates, temperature sensor? .
    Only a few devices are visible (no PIR detectors for example) - I have almost all (except one) devices on Tuya zigbee.
    I can build an alarm using Scenes, but due to the complexity it doesn't work as I would like (e.g. it doesn't work without internet access).
    I am wondering if the gateway is at fault.
    Does anyone have experience of setting up an alarm (PIR detector)?
    What kind of gateway does it use?
    Does it work without internet?
    I have the gateway, siren and zigbee repeaters hooked up to the UPS, so I'm keen for this to work without internet.

    I bought a different gateway.... But it is the same.
    I managed to program an alarm that works without internet.... But I cannot program the remote control:
    Zigbee Tuya - what gateway/central for light control, Somfy gates, temperature sensor? .
    So that I can arm and disarm the alarm with it without internet access (with internet it works).
    I am running out of ideas.

    >>20622942 Have you solved this alarm activation problem without internet? Is it possible or is it a limitation of the Tuya system?

    >>21284483 >>21284483 .
    I bought a Tuya alarm on 433MHz, then made a "gateway": Tuya Zigbee voltage free relay>contactor on 433MHz.
    That is, the Zigbee PIR detects movement, resulting in the relay 'opening' the reed switch (connected by wires) and the control panel triggers the alarm.
    The Zigbee remote works with the 433MHz control panel (successfully programmed).

    Hi all , how about you with the range of zigbe gates ?
    I need a gate that will have a range from one building to another distant about 20 meters , that is , the obstacles are two concrete walls . On sale there are gates with antennas more expensive and cheaper maybe you can help which is the best

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around selecting a suitable Zigbee gateway for a smart home system that includes light control, Somfy gates, and temperature sensors. Users express a preference for wired connections over Wi-Fi due to potential limitations in device handling and scenarios. Several gateways are recommended, including models from Tuya, with specific auction numbers provided for reference. Users share experiences with different models, emphasizing the importance of compatibility and reliability. Concerns about Bluetooth devices and their integration with Zigbee systems are also raised, highlighting the need for a cohesive communication standard for home automation. Additionally, some users discuss challenges in setting up alarm systems using Zigbee devices without internet access.
