When setting up a smart home system, a special device is required to synchronize the use of individual electrical appliances. This equipment is called a ZigBee gateway. It allows for the control and management of other devices that support the technology in home automation, using mobile applications or voice assistants.

One important advantage of the ZigBee gateway is the ability to remotely configure the operational parameters of electrical appliances. There is no need to lay additional cables or physically connect them to a single node to combine multiple control elements into a single system. By connecting to the internet or a local network via Wi-Fi, the universal ZigBee gateway provides communication between your commands (voice or smartphone-based) and the change in settings of your electrical equipment.

One feature of the control node is the ability to create automated scenarios. The ZigBee gateway can receive and process data about the operation of several individual devices and change their parameters of operation.

What is needed to start using a smart home

Individual control elements can be easily integrated into a single system using the Livolo ZigBee gateway. To do this, you need to:

1. Purchase a controller as well as smart switches, motion sensors, and other devices that support ZigBee technology and connect them to the internet.
2. Download and install the mobile application to control the equipment via a smartphone.
3. Configure the operation of the electrical appliances by creating separate scenarios.

For convenient management of a smart home, you can purchase a Livolo tablet with the necessary software. Setting the required parameters of the system's operation is much more convenient with a stylish assistant with a large diagonal.
