I LOVE a SMART home! Years and years ago, it all started with a Geeni plug ; now, we have created a larger-than-life SYSTEM. Lol. Still, we just now recently purchased door locks, and IMO, door locks have a long way to go before they can be relegated into the Smart-Home-Worthy category. This is why I purchased a gateway with which to bring about voice-control to the ones we finally decided to keep. My question is, through what I've read Zigbee works on line of sight? That can't be true or correct, right? Plus, how many gateways will I need to control three voice/fingerprint locks, especially if one is for the garage back door, which is located a bit away from the others? Thanks!
Still very confused. One instructional video described CONTROLLERS, HUBS and DEVICES. All very theoretical. This video avoids many retail terms, for hardware: ROUTERS, GATEWAY, BLUETOOTH, BLE, WIRED & WIRELESS.
Edit** Yes you can use the Zigbee protocol without internet. But if you buy a Zigbee & WiFi coordinator then you are required to be connected to the internet but there are Zigbee & USB coordinators available on the market. You just need to combine it with HomeAssistant running on your own hardware (e.g. raspberry PI 4) and you can set up everything locally without internet connection. The setup is much harder but much more powerful as well. And, yes, a single Zigbee Coordinator will be fair enough.
How does this have no comments?! Great video! 😁👍🏽

Zigbee is a mesh network, so you can have many devices connected without a direct line of sight.
Good work!
Thanks.
Sir one suggestion background videos is little more but info is good.
