As someone who, and I’m assuming here by skin color, is closer to Asian than they are English, I’d expect a little more respect towards languages, culture and identity. Chinese isn’t it a language, Cantonese and Mandarine are; China is a country. But hey, all you Sri Lankan’s look like Indians to the rest of the world.

[@TheDiabeticWay]

would it be possible to use my TP-Link TL-WPA4220KIT 2-Port Powerline Adapter instead of the gateway hub for the other devices to work?

[@karlamontalvo11]

this bridge receives sonoff devices ?? And this bridge could control them?

[@GeekStreet]

yes it can work, the only thing that didn't properly was the button from sonoff and thats the main one I wanted to use.

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

[@ethanf.6848]

How does Tuya zigbee stack up against the new Sonoff zigbee?

[@dmitriykaryakin6214]

Can you please explain what is the purpose of a smart hub? What does it do and can I not just use these sensors with out the hub?

[@joonasfi]

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.

[@dmitrijza1124]

Good video. Do u know why (my) PIR all the time orange ?

[@TheDiabeticWay]

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

[@dmitriykaryakin6214]

Is it buying this hub just for smart curtains and some sensors?

[@holyindian]

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.

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).

[@50k-j2v]

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

[@medawarmichel]

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

[@GeekStreet]

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.

[@garethwilliams8692]

Hey thanks for this. Any idea if Ikea Tradfri bulbs and switches can be connected to this hub? Thanks.

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]

No the hub is not visible in Alexa as it's just a gateway for the items and does nothing more.

[@frofa2954]

@@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.

@@frofa2954 Are you trying to connect different products together? Like getting tuya sensor to get Philips hue light to turn on?

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.
