Are Tuya Smart, Smart Life, Geeni Smarthome, and Merkury Innovations the Same Company?

Sure. For years “Kenmore” appliances were made by Maytag and Frigidaire. (And Maytag itself is just one of several brands made by Whirlpool, while Frigidaire is owned by Electrolux.)

As we have discussed many times in the forum, Nortek, one of the largest manufacturers of Z wave devices, often sold the exact same device under five or six different brand names, literally just with a different label on it

In the PC market, this term is OEM.

Jasco is another Home automation manufacturer who makes the same device and then sells it under different names or provides it to other companies to sell under their own name. You can get the same Jasco device sold under the Jasco name, the GE name, or now the Honeywell name. I think they also used to make the DragonTech models.

Nowadays there is yet another complication as many Chinese factories Will offer the exact same physical case to multiple clients, resulting in devices which look identical but which may have different internal parts or firmware.
