Tuya Smart Home WiFi, Bluetooth, ZigBee Protocol Devices Comparison Instructions

These protocol products have been introduced before, and the following will discuss their respective characteristics around the product performance.

In the open area, the coverage and control radius of WiFi and zigbee products can reach 5m, but the Bluetooth products are generally more than 3m without a Bluetooth gateway; that is, three protocol products have about 5 devices in a single room (usually smart switches, smart curtains, smart lights, etc.) can be controlled normally (excluding remote control, there is no Bluetooth gateway, Bluetooth cannot be remotely controlled, and can only be controlled within the effective distance of the Bluetooth connection), and Bluetooth is the cheapest and ZigBee is the most expensive in terms of cost.

In a wall-blocked environment, WiFi devices can pass through two walls at most, ZigBee devices can pass through one wall, and Bluetooth devices (without gateways) can pass through one wall.
When there is a Bluetooth gateway, the Bluetooth device is the same as the ZigBee device, and there is little difference in the control method, and the control performance of the ZigBee device will be slightly more stable.

Bluetooth devices are really embarrassing. When there is no Bluetooth gateway, the control performance is not as good as that of WiFi devices. When there is a Bluetooth gateway, the performance is worse than ZigBee.
Note: The control distance and performance listed above are not objective test data, and have some personal subjective feelings. They are only for reference. Everyone will have their own tendency to use devices with different protocols. You can choose according to personal preferences.
Summarize

Personally, I am not optimistic about the application of Bluetooth devices. The reason why some people use Bluetooth devices now is mainly because Bluetooth peer-to-peer control does not require networking, and many people do not know how to control WiFi devices or ZigBee devices when the network is disconnected. Control WiFi and ZigBee devices within the local area network, you will find that the advantages of Bluetooth devices are not obvious.

Finally, by the way, when making background music, it is not recommended for users to use Bluetooth ceiling speakers, because the distance between the host and the Bluetooth speaker is far away, and the Bluetooth signal transmission is unstable, which will cause the music to play unsmoothly.
