    What Are TTLock and Tuya Gateway Systems?

    TTLock and Tuya gateways act as the bridge between your smart lock and your smartphone. They let you manage doors remotely, track access logs, and integrate locks with voice assistants like Alexa and Google Home.

    • TTLock: A dedicated smart lock platform offering Bluetooth and Wi-Fi management. Perfect for fingerprint, PIN, or RFID locks.

    • Remote Access: Lock and unlock doors from anywhere — ideal for landlords, Airbnb hosts, or hotel reception setups.
    • Real-Time Monitoring: Get instant notifications when someone enters or exits.

    • Smart Home Integration: Works with Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple HomeKit.
