Last Updated on：2024-01-11 06:53:04

Advantages: 1. Tuya Beacon is mainly applied in chips. It features ultra-low cost, which is much lower than that of standard Bluetooth. 2. Tuya Beacon provides a lightweight smart solution for products with low security requirements. 3. Tuya Beacon-enabled devices can be remotely controlled using a mobile phone through a direct connection or a gateway, featuring flexible networking capabilities. 4. A gateway supports a maximum of 128 devices, and a maximum of 128 gateways is supported in a home, that is, a total of 128 × 128 devices in a home. 5. Tuya Beacon enables local scene linkage and small- and medium-scale group control. 6. Tuya Beacon-enabled devices are not prone to 2.4 GHz communication interference.

Disadvantages: 1. Tuya Beacon has lower communication capability than standard Bluetooth. It features short-range communication, weak wall-penetrating ability, and weak concurrent message processing capability. It supports only the minimalist communication protocol, which may cause network congestion. 2. OTA is not supported. 3. The chip resources and supported product complexity are limited. 4. Certification can be implemented only by reducing the power, which is risky.
