Hi Geek Street. Can you please inform me if the Tuya Zigbee Hub can be used within Google Home as I can't install it (Google Home doesn't see this Tuya device (just like the smok detectors), while the Tuya lights are no problem at all).
Hi, Great video. We have HomeKit and HOOBS box and some Zigbee dimmer switches. Do you thin the Zigbee hub allow me to patch it through the HOOBS box into HomeKit?
@@GeekStreet yes I've read the same. Apparently their bulbs and switches now work with Smart Things, would be interesting to know if they work with this little guy. May give it a go.. Thanks
Hi just stumbled on this video. So am I right in thinking for the pir sensor to switch lights on your studio do you need smart switches hooked up to zigbee hub? I noticed you had the old switches in your studio so how did that work? I’m new to this so apologise for maybe asking a silly question. Thank bud
Thank you for the video. I had brought a Plantation SHutter motor, and was not able to get it to connect to the hub, the insturctions were horrible. I would just press the button and leave it when they start blinking, but the key is to keep it pressed until it shows up in the app. Thanks for showing that.
Most (if not all) of the sensors here use Zigbee. Zigbee is different, but same category of, wireless networking as Wifi or Bluetooth. Because Zigbee is not directly compatible with Wifi (or wired Ethernet), you need an adapter to "bridge" Zigbee devices into traditional networks so you can connect to them.
Hi, I have a hub gateway model zxgwz-04 and curtain model ZM25TQ, is it compatible? A other question!! which difference hub gateway wire between hub gateway wireless??
Hello and thank you for the nice video. I have 2 questions please: 1- when you get a notification when the sensor alarms, do you get the customized name of the sensor or just its type. For example i changed the PIR sensor name to PIR Living room. Will i get this name in the app notification when the sensor alarm? 2- How can i disable the sensors when i am in the house so i don't get notifications? Thank you
Thanks. 1. You can rename each sensor, and get alerted with the name. 2. You can we setup a automation task to change thing I see what you're thinking and yes you can do you own DIY alarm.
Hi. Did you find out any updates on the temperature sensor ? Any time intervals needed to update by itself or still we need to press the button to update the temperature?
Is it possible to have a light turn on and off by the sensor but also another sensor turn the light on from indoor and turn off after 2 mons? I have tried many ways and still unable to do it so annoying as I have no downstairs ligh on when going out! but ok once I open the door no good when you can't see your keys! :-) Can I do anything to try to resolve this issues if I cannot use a sensor as well as a door sensor to do a use a Smart Automation? Thanks
will the zigbee gateway control non zigbee smart devices? i have old tuya and sonoff smart switches and non came with any zigbee logo on the box or device
i can see some zigbee wireless gateways - im wondering what's the difference between the ethernet version and the wireless one? - any disadvantages with the wireless?
Great video!!! I didn't know I can be so easily set up through phone apps. I always saw some complicated website looking things on the PC in other videos
Just because this is a good a place as any to write this suggestion Sir South. I reckon you should do one of them projects (multi week) of installing a tablet on to a wall and making it the control center of your connected home. I would defiantly do it along with you (low skill permitting). Thanks Sir South
Hi im new at this just wondering since it’s connected to a router can this 1 hub communicate wit all different floors of my house if every floor has a zigbee sensor? So I only need to get one hub for my whole house
I am looking ad that system for a while and I have seen one that is connected to wifi instead of Lan cable. It works fast and way faster than I expected. I love that you can set it up in many different ways. As the moment I use ewelink with motion detection and door sensors. It has also several functions but this zigbee system looks to work better. Do you know the range that the zigbee hub has?
Geek Street I mean if my house WiFi is down, when the motion sensor had detect some movement , in that case the light will still turn on with having WiFi ?
Very interesting thanks for sharing! I’ve just purchased my first LED smart bulb 😂 Hoping to make my house a bit more smart this year, Ring doorbell & Nest thermostat are next on the agenda!!
Really like your video's, keep up the good work. I've got the hub already for my curtains, but I did like the PIR sensor setup in your studio so that's going to be next on my shopping list.
Really interesting video! Is it possible to integrate the PIR Sensor with a zigbee Alarm? So each time human activity is detected will trigger the alarm.
Thank you, great video! I have a silly question. With a Zigbee hub, does it matter that my WiFi is 5gh and not 2.4? I appreciate I can’t use WiFi enabled products, but I assume the hub means it doesn’t matter? Thanks
Hello sir, I follow your channel I watch all videos. Sir, I have one question.. I have tuya compatible Switches , lights , zigbee hub and sensors which i already pair in tuya or smartlife app.. Can this same accessories pair with blitzwolf app?
I have a problem with calibrating the curtains. Smart-life I use a MS108-WR i have three, but one i cant calibrate. I open the curtain and then i choose in the app calibrate then you must choose next and then the curtain must be closed, but how do i get the curtains closed in the app, so i close it with the remote controller, then i choose next, but it comes back that it cant calibrate.
Hi there. I have learnt quite a bit from your videos. Thank you and keep up the great work. Question: will any zigbee device work with any zigbee hub? Do they have to be the same brand?
@@GeekStreet if the devices says "works with alexa" it's mean that is echo hub compatible and the tuya hub not is neccesary?? I thought buy tuya hub and Alexa echo dot, but some friend recommend me buy echo hub zigbee instead tuya hub
@@omarboza7954 most functionality will work with the Amazon Echo Hub I've tested the door and pir sensor but some other sensors may not work for example I tried the vibration sensor and that would not work.
I have watched the video to see how to make the hub visible to Alexa. Too bad that's the only point the video did not cover - at all. In my case there is no way how I get the hub detected by Alexa, and I think I have tried really everything. So, how did you do it? How does the hub show up in Alexa, and what are the device options you can see and/or change from Alexa?
@@GeekStreet That's funny, because Alexa offers the possibility to add hubs, too (Philips hue, Ikea, Osram, Harmony and others), but just doesn't see the Tuya Zigbee hub. I could live with that, but the bigger problem is that also the connected sensors and stuff doesn't show in Alexa - while Tuya WiFi stuff is shown and works in Alexa as expected. Any idea what to do?
Yes, in principle that is what I would want to do, eg use Zigbee sensors connected to the hub to trigger Alexa routines that then can control some other (non-Tuya) device.
@@GeekStreet thank you. I was like 10 cm from the gate and still nothing. Pairing mode is the one, where the one green light is on and the other one is blinking? Does it matter how fast?
The thing with those pir sensors is that they're £21 each.. I don't think it can be justified buying 5 at that price. A fiver a piece I'd be happy to pay.
So what about all these enocean wireless/battery-less senors that smart homes are supposed to be all about???? Why in hell Tuya is not using them??? With all these sensors we are drowning in battery management!!!
Bought a sensor and a zigbee gateway. Its crab. The sensor is very very slow and i cant get a silent alarm. The Zigbee dont have a good signal even it is just beside of my router. Waist of money. No smart home to me. 👎

Thanks for the good demonstration! Is the lamp need to support Zigbee as well ? Or it may be a WiFi ?
