Hi,
sorry for another post, but i am confused because there are many informations :slight_smile:

  1. I will need modul (zigbee, z-wave, fibaro, another type) for outdoor blinds, I would like to control them. Do you have any recommendation?
  2. All products from Zigbee, Zigbee3, Z-wave can be integrated ?
  3. I would like to buy Tuya thermostats, it could by problem? https://www.chytrevypinace.cz/WiFi-Termostat-16A-HDT-ST01W-Tuya-d149.htm
  4. Bticino/ Legrand Living live sockets are with Zigbee - is there anyone who tested it?

Or for Zigbees componets I need some switch or hub, or is it not needed?

Thank you for your help.

Also, you will need a hub of some kind for both Z wave and zigbee, Although sometimes devices like motorized blinds come with their own mini hub built in.

The smartthings hub includes both a zigbee radio and the Z wave radio. However, that does not mean it can work with every possible Zigbee device or every possible Z wave device. It’s just more complicated than that.

Zigbee, for example, has different “profiles.” Some work with smartthings and some don’t. Most devices using the Zigbee 3.0 profile will work with SmartThings as long as they do not require touch link commissioning and are not using the “green power“ features.

See the community FAQ for more details:

FAQ: Zigbee Application Profiles, or why not all zigbee devices work with SmartThings

With Zwave, it’s a little more complicated. Zwave defines certain functions as “basic,“ essentially on, off, and Dim. Every certified Z wave hub, like smartthings, can send a basic command to any certified Z wave device that accepts on or off commands. But other commands, including getting the battery status, sensor commands, multi button commands, etc. don’t have to be supported by the hub. So some devices with those advanced features will work with smartthings, some will work with smartthings if they have custom code, and some won’t work at all beyond on and off. These days, most of the Z wave device manufacturers will include in their product description a mention of smartthings and whether custom code is required.

So the first rule of home automation applies: “the model number matters.“

So if I will buy hub for Zigbee, there is big chance that device with zigbee 3 will be OK. Tuya has integrated native or not?

And about Bticino sockets do you have some informations or tests?

Tuya Zigbee devices has an integration for some models, but not all. Again, the model number matters.

Tuya Wi-Fi, which is used with the smart life app, again has an integration for some models, but not all. Here is a discussion thread:

Tuya Smart does it work?

BTCino does not appear to work with smartthings unless you use an additional device as an intermediary. See the following discussion:
