Moes Tuya Zigbee 3.0 Hub Gateway, Smart Home Bridge Wireless Remote Controller, Compatible with Alexa/Google Assistant.Work with All Tuya ZigBee3.0 Smart Products (2.4G WiFi), 2MQTT, White

I'm totally blind. I a few days ago got some new TUYA Zigbee electrical outlets and power strip. Those items wouldn't work directly with the Echos. The Echos only saw one of the outlets on each device and not all of them. So I figured being I just received those devices! I would go and buy a TUYA hub and see if that made any difference at being able to get access to all the electrical outlets. So I went with this brand to try. I received the hub. It is small and is square shaped. The Micro USB cord plugs into the back of it and the prongs go up to the top of the hub not down towards the bottom. The pairing button is also on the back of the unit ware the Micro USB is. On the top of the unit near the front edge of the unit as far as I can tell are two LED's. The right most I think is power. The one just to the left of that is the setup/connected LED I think. That is the one that blinks fast when in pairing/setup mode. At least using the light detector that I went by. The hub cannot be wall mounted. The hub comes with a short power cable that you can plug into a USB cell phone charger. The cord maybe 14 inches or so in length. I got the hub online usinb the TUYA Smart App for Android. Didn't know what App to use for sure; So used the TUYA and not the Smart Life App being their was a few of Smart Life Apps on the Google play store. Had issues with the App working with the Talkback screen reader! But that isn't the hubs issue. I got my new Zigbee power strip online to the hub and it showed all 4 outlets and the USB ports. The hub would even let me turn off the whole strip or just one of the outlets and even let me be able to turn off the USB ports. I even brought it online to Alexa and was able to turn off each plug, the USB ports and the full power strip.

I purchased the MOES Tuya Zigbee Hub Gateway to expand my smart home setup, and it has worked flawlessly. The setup process was simple and straightforward, and it connected to my Zigbee devices without any issues. The hub offers a stable connection, quick response times, and integrates well with my existing smart home ecosystem. It’s compact, efficient, and a great addition for anyone looking to streamline their smart devices. Pros: - Smooth and hassle-free setup process - Stable connection with fast response times - Seamless integration with existing smart home systems - Compact and efficient design Cons: - None

For the record, I loathe leaving negative reviews. Bought this zigbee hub early April 2023. Then, early Dec 2023 it stopped working. It just won't connect, and I can't get it to reset. Nothing, nada, zip, zilch. There's two lights that are on. A red one, and a blue one. Pressing and holding the button on the back (for five seconds, and sometimes more) doesn't give me even a flicker from them. I'd installed this hub, and then didn't even so much as look at it until it stopped working. It was in a safe out of the way location. So, there's no reason to up and die like this. I'm very disappointed with the product.

I have had Samsung "smart" (quotations added for irony ) things hubs for 2 properties the last 7 years. This device is waaay cheaper and seems to work better than Samsung. My devices connect easily. I get a notice if something drops offline. It's tiny. The app is a little funny with some Chinese sprinkled in here and there but it works great. I didn't get an automation to run (water sensor wet then close valve) but you need to leave the device(valve) as last position on its reset page. It doesn't need to make sense unless you read this and have the same experience. Then it will. And unlike smart things you can connect BLE and wifi and z wave to the same hub ! Duh. Brilliant! It was compatible with my water sensors of various brands. They all connected easily. I paired it with the smart life water control valve for flood protection. Also way better than LEAKSMART. AVOID THEM.

Does the job but requires rebooting several times a month.
