MOES Tuya ZigBee Wired Smart Gateway/Hub for Tuya ZigBee Product, Smart Home Bridge, Smart Life APP Wireless Remote Controller Works with Alexa Google, Network Cable Needed to Connect Router & Hub

I bought this gateway as part of a concerted push to switch away from using wifi and to use Zigbee devices where possible in my Home-Assistant setup. The gateway worked perfectly, it was recognised by HA and it was easy to further add devices from within the Smartlife app.Unless you have infinite financial resources, you will have spotted that whether you use Zigbee, Bluetooth or WiFi, Tuya is the most prolific, most inexpensive, and option only player in town making everything from waterleak sensors through smoke detectors to on/off sockets and light buls. The platform which is fronted by the 'Smartlife' app is incredibly easy to useBeware, however, you should appreciate before making a decision as the 'how to do things' front that the Zigbee2MQTT approach is not as scary as it first seems. After buying into, and appreciating, the Gateway box, I've now started to migrate to the Zigbee2MQTT route. Even with the Smartlife app, the benefits are outweighed by the simplicity delivered with the mqtt solution.

Why did you choose this product over others?:does what it needs to do, just be aware it's much deeper than a normal switch and not quite the same dimensions as a normal UK one, but I needed one that would work without a neutral and this did the job connected to the hub straight away and was easy to configure

The MOES Tuya ZigBee and BLE Multi-Mode Smart Home Gateway is a versatile hub designed to connect and manage many smart home devices. It supports ZigBee 3.0, Bluetooth, and BLE Mesh protocols, seamlessly integrating up to 128 devices into your smart home ecosystem. This gateway works with the Tuya Smart Life app, enabling remote control, automation, and voice commands via Alexa or Google Assistant.Users appreciate its compact design, ease of setup, and compatibility with various smart devices like sensors, lights, and locks. However, some reviews mention that its range might be limited in larger homes, and additional extenders could be necessary for optimal performance.

Our zigbee switch was positioned behind large brewing pots and would not connect to the router. A long LAN cable with this hub solved the problem. Once the router was configured for 2.4g this hub “talked” to a mobile phone. Low cost c/w Hive and works well.

Never got this gateway to work or connect to any smart devices.Can link it to the app but that is as far as it goes. I have tried over the past year time and time again.but nothing. If anything it messes with my WiFi signal so has sat in a box since day one. I have multiple other smart devices but not a single one has ever been connected to the gateway because it never can find them. Total waste of money.

It just wouldn't connect to my modem. The setup guide is very basic, as usual. I'll do more research and pay a bit more next time.

Followed the instructions and set it up using the Smart Life app in no time at all. Works well with my 3 way ZigBee smart dimmer switch allowing me to integrate it and control it via Google home.

Working very well. I'm happy with the product. I can control switch any where from the world
