Master Chip Introduction of Zigbee Home Automation Hub WLAN
Dusun IoT’s Zigbee hub gateway is designed to meet indoor wireless industrial-grade coverage. It uses the MTK7620A and can easily handle a wide range of smart home applications at 580MHz.
Linux OpenWRT Zigbee Gateway WiFi
Our Smart Home ZigBee Gateway runs OpenWRT system. It is a robust Linux-based open source operating system for embedded devices. Because of its flexibility and robustness, OpenWRT has been widely used in the IoT gateway development.
By using OperWRT OS, users can simply manage their devices using a Linux terminal and a Secure Shell (SSH) connection. Users can also configure the firmware on their embedded devices via the OpenWRT online user interface (UI), commonly known as LuCI and Lua.
When building a new OpenWRT ZigBee gateway, developers can employ a variety of pre-existing software applications, which can save time and money. It is possible to streamline the development process by utilizing plug-ins like LuCI.
Also, because of its modular nature, it is simpler for programmers to develop bespoke firmware that is suited for particular use cases.

Zigbee2MQTT Bridge Gateway Hub
Zigbee2MQTT is a light weight programme or software that connects Zigbee networks to MQTT networks. It is also called as Zigbee MQTT bridge to functions as the connection between a Zigbee network with attached devices to an MQTT network. Zigbee to MQTT is preferred by home automation project because of its small size, low power usage, minimized data packets, and efficient distribution of information to one or many receivers. MQTT Zigbee Bridge also makes the configuration between the Zigbee home gateway and devices pairing more easily.
DSGW-030-1 wireless Zigbee WiFi gateway use MQTT protocol to communicate with cloud server. MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport), as its name suggested, is a publish-subscribe-based messaging protocol, enabling MQTT client libraries to communicate with a MQTT broker. It is very useful for connections with remote locations where a small code footprint is required and/or network bandwidth is at a premium.
Both Zigbee gateway device and cloud server acts like an MQTT client running MQTT software. Free MQTT API will be offered by Dusun IoT to integrate to the popular home automation applications. Take Eclipse Paho as an example, users can deploy Paho libraries on Dusun zigbee gateways and publish sensor data messages to their MQTT broker server. Developers can use an application or platform such as Tuya Zigbee Gateway MQTT to subscribe the topic and watch the sensor status remotely. You can view Paho MQTT Client configuration guide here.
To encrypt the communication between MQTT clients, especially on a public network, SSL is necessary. Get to know more about connect to MQTT broker with SSL here. In summary, benefits of Zigbee MQTT gateway lies in shorten the time of product development time by employing standard MQTT protocol to make cloud platform integration. What’s more, developers are allowed to flash the DSGW-030-1 Zigbee home gateway and firmware with the open-source software on the Linux OpenWRT system.

What is Zigbee smart home hub?
Zigbee is a global wireless radio communication standard designed to enable the control and monitoring of connected devices. It's a low-power, close-proximity solution suited for home automation. With Zigbee, even two devices from different manufacturers can speak a common language, so there's no barrier to communication. Know more about What is Zigbee here.
Zigbee supports mesh network and can connect up to 65,000 nodes on a single network. If one node fails for some reason and cannot communicate with a second node on the mesh network. This means it can boost data transmission range and provide greater stability (even when a single connected node fails and doesn't work).
By installing home automation software on a Zigbee gateway controller, It forms a univsal Zigbee smart home hub/command coordinator to control smart devices across your home via a user console and without the need for multiple apps on your smartphone.
Is DSGW-030-1 a Zigbee Cellular LTE gateway?
The entire DSGW-030 is built for smart home uses and supports BLE/Zigbee/Z-wave to Wi-Fi/Ethernet, without LTE 4G functions. If you are looking for Cellular function, you can click our DSGW-040 Zigbee Cellular gateway.
