hi everyone.. i have some smart switches from smatrul around my house. uses wifi.

thinking of upgrading to these switches for better feel when pressing instead of the touch panel which can be annoying when it doesnt detect the touch once in awhile.

but says it requires a Tuya Zigbee hub? i have no idea what zigbee is... and would prefer to not add any other hardware.

what exactly is zigbee? do i need to buy additional hardware n connect to my router? if yes, what hardware? how well is the coverage as my house is a 2 storey terrace which requires 2 mesh wifis n still cant really get full speed on the furthest mesh.




also my best friend just bought an apartment n his dreams of having a smart home is a little delayed as he has to prioritize his finances on other parts of the house....so thinking of getting him the same switches to start him on his journey. i assume will require this zigbee hub thingy?


anyone know of any mechanical smart switches from smatrul that uses wifi n needs no neutral? tried going thru their official store n those mechanical ones says require zigbee

ive only used smatrul and tuya and prefer smatrul along with the smart home app.
