All Tuya Zigbee gateways are universal no matter whom you buy from. My 50 units wired gateway should arrived by this week. I also have Tuya Alexa speakers with Zigbee gateway & IR but have some limitations because not by Amazon.

Tuya Zigbee Sensors need be careful if need Alexa/Google support. I have different batches from different suppliers all not up to my requirements. Already found one that can do 100% Alexa/Google integration but too busy to nego. His price rather high. I also found a universal Zigbee sensors that can support Tuya, Sonoff & Generic Zigbee meaning Smartthings, hubitat, ikea & philips support but price of cos very much higher. Tough decisions. hmm.gif

after installed my mi gateway v3 i finally realize so many confusing problem. My mi bulb cannot detect by the gateway but can all detect by yeelight app.

Door sensor cannot detect. My light strip is 1S cannot detect by app when i use singapore gateway. I use china gateway some stuff also cannot detect and its slow with delay. After press takes 3 to 10 seconds to trigger.

So anyone know what the best server that can use the cross breed sensors? or list what we can buy or is there any manual way we can install?

Nothing to do with the gateway. Only zigbee devices are connected to the gateway, like your door sensor
Bulbs, light strips are using wifi and connect to your router

Yes that the issue i know after I done my research. My question is any server that possible support both?

Does global server device can use at China server?.

After I look through the list I know i can only buy items show in the mi home add devices list.

oh your door sensor is Bluetooth .....
i think there is a problem with Bluetooth now....i read many having this problem
try to update to latest firmware. make sure the gateway and door sensor is nearby

i suggest to buy the zigbee door sensor - both Aqara and Mijia also can use

First of all is the gateway China version? Because I believe the new door sensor only supported under China server so far
If not mistaken it should be communicated through Bluetooth between the gateway and sensor, then gateway helps showing open/close records on apps even you're not around home

How about trying add the door sensors alone first instead of through gateway?
