hey guys, planning on fitting a house with xiaomi smart home devices; primarily some gateway hubs and door/window sensors to make a rudementary alarm system

but since unifi has recently been having connectivity issues, i was wondering if these devices can still function without internet connectivity? (operating strictly on LAN)

my most concerned use case is if i arm the alarm system using xiaomi home products, and the internet goes out; will i be able to disarm the alarm? and also, will the alarm trigger if there is no internet connection?

hope some of you guys can help me out, thanks!

Safer to buy those with GSM at least if you are away from home your HP will still be trigger. Basic telco plan is not expensive.

May i check with you do the Aqara gateway and app run in which region?
I am thinking to get it with Alexa/Google Home.

If need Alexa/Google integration best to go for Tuya Zigbee ecosystem.

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

yea, there are so many out there made me confuse ..  tongue.gif where did you found those 100% compatible ?

that's why i saw Aqara some say can compatible wtih alexa/googe home with Region choose to other.

But i do not want to do double spending, hence, still digging around here.. haha..

What do you think about WPM ? they have zigbee gateway, some sensors and switches as well.
