Basic understanding of Wifi / Zigbee smart home
A WiFi smart home and a Zigbee smart home are both types of smart home systems that allow you to automate and control various devices in your home.
Both systems are able to be intertwined as long as they are all connected to the Outsmart app.
Example of automation: Once the Zigbee motion sensor detected a motion, the WiFi smart light will turn on.
WiFi Smart Home (Pros) :
- Connects to 2.4 GHz WiFi technology directly to your home network.
- Can connect to a wide range of devices, including smart remotes, smart thermostats, smart plugs, security cameras, and more.
- Offers easy setup and integration with other WiFi-enabled devices you may already have in your home
- May require a very strong and stable WiFi network for optimal performance.
- Taking up the bandwidth of the home WiFi router, which may cause a lag in speed and response.
- The product will get disconnected frequently because all the wifi products are trying to get connected, but the router is unable to perform up to speed.
- The product will auto-reset, and the lights will go back into pairing mode because of inconsistent connectivity.
- Lag in streaming online movies, Youtube videos, etc.
- Lag in gaming
- Devices such as mobile phones, televisions, laptops, and tablets are also taking a lot of load off the WiFi router.
- It is not ideal to automate a smart sensor with a smart light; the automation will only react for about 5–8 seconds.
