Why do I have to add a gateway before I add a Zigbee device?

Dear user, we are sorry for your inconvenience. Zigbee devices must have a gateway to control. The Zigbee protocol and Wi-Fi protocol are different. Currently, mobile phones do not support the Zigbee protocol. To manage your Zigbee devices with your mobile phone, you need a Zigbee gateway to convert the Zigbee protocol into a Wi-Fi protocol. Furthermore, a Zigbee gateway centrally manages Zigbee devices and ensures that these devices are working properly and securely. In addition, a gateway can connect to these Zigbee devices even when the network is disconnected.
