Is there a difference in terms of wired or wireless tuya zigbee hub other than connection type?
*
I think Tuya wired zigbee can connect 120 devices but wireless zigbee only max 50 devices.

hey thanks for replying. appreciate that.

isit true that smart switches that does not have neutral wire spoils more easily?

to describe my case more detailed, i want to install smart switches around my house entrance, which is directly below the switch box. theres 2x 2gang, 1x 4 gang switches. I want to change to 1x 2gang, 2x 3gang smart switches. they control led lights and fans in my living room.

if smart switches with neutral wire has less problems than non neutral,  how much does roughly cost to pull a neutral wire for my smart switches? and converting to 1x 2gang, 2x 3gang?

I'm just worried that my money got wasted. i watched tons of aqara non neutral switch reviews, they break down in 1.5+ years of usage.
*
If those switches is just directly below the switchbox then just get a qualify electrician to pull a neutral to all of them. No need worry how long the no neutral switches can last anymore.

If it's outdoor you can used a solar panel to charge it or solar + battery as backup.

I think Tuya is just provide smart platform that provide solution for house automation mostly. Many brand is using Tuya platform. It can be any brand. So, I wouldn't say rebadged.

Just have a look at their app.

So my understanding is that Zigbee 3.0 is meant to be universal across brands so no more closed ecosystems i.e. you can pair a tuya switch to an Aqara gateway.

Has anyone tried this? Can you pair an Aqara/Mi Zigbee 3.0 hub with a non-3.0 Tuya smart switch? Will that work or do both hub and peripheral need to be Zigbee 3.0?
*
The answer is NO

does it mean its impossible to pair a Tuya switch to Aqara hub or they must be both Zigbee 3.0 to be possible?
I'm keen on getting an Aqara camera hub as well but only Tuya/Moes offers a smart dimmer switch...... if not possible to pair together then I have to forget about Aqara and just get a Tuya/Moes hub
*
Even both is Zigbee 3.0 is not possible. So if you really need a smart dimmer, go for Tuya if Aqara does not have one. Btw, it's not impossible you can get an RPI with HA but it's rather complicated

Reason I asked was because I found a shopee comment on xiaomi's zigbee 3.0 hub saying they're using it as a gateway for other brands using HA.

Theoretically, this is supposed to be how it works. Even Tuya mentions it in their help center:
So if Aqara/Xiaomi's gateway does comply to Zigbee 3.0 standard, then they should be interoperable with Tuya's. I just don't have any Zigbee 3.0 devices to test myself.
*
Yes, need used HA but are you ready to spent some time to play around with it?

I already am using HA. My confusion is that they're not using a Zigbee Coordinator Stick, but an actual branded hub (Xiaomi) to connect with other brands.

Didn't really follow the HA forum lately, maybe no need the Zigbee USB stick now.

Alright. As long as their item wont expensive, im ok with it. Haha!! What else do we nid for smart home? The item, and server? Google home? Google assistant?

If you intend to install more than 30 devices, I suggest you get a Zigbee wired gateway. If less than 30 get can used wireless Zigbee gateway. Google/Alexa/TMall Genie etc only if you need to use voice to control the smart devices.
