Hello folks, I’m new on smart home and home assistant but i want to know 2 things so im here begging for your expertise, I want to get one of these offers
I want to buy one of these 2 producs, the brand is nexxt (tuya rebrand), so will they be compatible with the tuya or local tuya integration?
If it is wifi I suggest you avoid it. Wifi battery powered devices can take ages (8 to 16 seconds) to wake up and connect.
If it is Zigbee based you don’t need local Tuya or Tuya Convert. You just need a good Zigbee coordinator, ZHA or Zigbee2Mqtt and to make sure the devices are compatible by checking this list:
This icon meanss it is compatible with ZHA and this icon means it is compatible with Zigbee2Mqtt.
It says wifi in the title, but even if they’re Bluetooth, that is also quite limited - especially by range. Not worthless but there are better options that will also work a lot better with Home Assistant. If you want a wireless alarm system you should be looking at Zigbee based systems.
