Mi-Light WiFi Gateway WL-Box2 (MiBoxer), 2.4 GHz, Tuya

The Mi-Light WiFi gateway WL-Box2 (MiBoxer) connects Mi-Light and MiBoxer devices with a 2.4G RF receiver to your home Wi-Fi network. LED strip controllers, dimmers and lamps can then be run from the Tuya Smart app on your phone, at home or away, and by voice. WL-Box2 is the newer version of the WL-Box1 gateway. It does not support Zigbee: Zigbee 3.0 controllers need the ZB-Box3 gateway (Zigbee 3.0 + Bluetooth).

What the gateway does

• Tuya Smart app – control of all devices and groups from your phone.
• Up to 100 zones – each zone is controlled separately and can have its own name.
• Timers – groups switch on and off at a set time.
• Remote copy – the gateway takes over devices already paired with another Mi-Light remote.
• Voice control – through voice assistants that work with Tuya Smart.
• Do-not-disturb mode and an option to switch off the indicator LED.
