How to choose your connected devices well?
The protocol guides the choice. WiFi (Tuya/Smart Life ecosystem) connects directly to the router, without a gateway, ideal for a few devices. Zigbee is more economical and reliable for many sensors, but requires a gateway (hub). A relay module makes switches and devices remotely controllable. A connected thermostatic valve regulates each radiator according to schedules, a source of heating savings. Check compatibility with your application and voice assistants (Google, Alexa), as well as power supply (neutral required for some modules).
