If you’re diving into the world of smart home devices in Lebanon, chances are you’ve come across two of the most popular platforms: Tuya and eWeLink. Both offer mobile apps, smart automation, and integrations with Alexa or Google Assistant — but which one is right for your home or project?
At We Volt, we’re the exclusive distributor of MOES and authorized sellers of Sonoff devices, so we know both ecosystems inside out. In this post, we break down the pros and cons of Tuya and eWeLink to help you make the best choice.
🧠 What Is Tuya?
Tuya is a global smart platform powering brands like MOES, Tongou, Ryan, EPT, and Skydance. It works through the Smart Life or Tuya Smart mobile app and supports:
- Wi-Fi and Zigbee devices
- Voice assistants (Alexa, Google Assistant, Siri)
- Automation between multiple brands
✅ Tuya Pros:
- Supports thousands of devices
- Works with many independent brands
- Great for mixed-device environments
- Fast pairing with QR codes
- Zigbee gateway support
❌ Tuya Cons:
- Zigbee requires a separate gateway
- App layout has more options (may be overwhelming for beginners)
🔌 What Is eWeLink?
eWeLink is the official platform behind Sonoff devices. It’s designed for simple Wi-Fi installations and entry-level automation.
✅ eWeLink Pros:
- Clean and simple interface
- Direct Alexa and Google integration
- Stable performance with Sonoff Wi-Fi switches
❌ eWeLink Cons:
- Fewer device types (mostly Sonoff)
- Less flexibility with cross-brand automation
- Doesn’t support Zigbee without Sonoff-specific hubs
