Deco M9 plus could act as a Wi-Fi/ Bluetooth/ Zigbee hub for smart home devices, users can refer to this article to add your smart devices to the Deco network:

Nowadays, more and more IoT devices are Wi-Fi and Bluetooth compatible while Zigbee devices have a limited market share. Since there is no updated plan for more compatible devices yet and if you have tested a Zigbee compatible device already, it is highly appreciated sharing the detailed models with more users.

 

For example:

@TP-Link 

 

Once using another zigbee hub (compatible with Tuya smart life), can I use the M9 zigbee capabilities to expand the zigbee signal in the house but in that same zigbee network?

@TP-Link Let's be honest:
M9 Plus has Zigbee and USB and many users gave more money for it (and not M5 for example) because of this, but:

- Zigbee Hub is useless and uncompatible with anything, except TP-Link Products, which are not actually Smart and they are very limited

- USB Port was promised to be for "future use", now TP-Link states it is only for 5V output (still saying that 10$ TP-Link has more USB possibilities than Decos)

- M5 has MUCH MORE software support and updates, actually it even simulates Mesh (which other Decos like M9 Plus can't, because they are not Mesh, as stated in my topic)

 

So Deco M9 is just piece of plastic, which is useless =) 

 

Congratulations to all the users who fu* up for the frivolous support and the bad company. which spews unfinished products on the market with fake advertising.

  @Momcho TPLink can we have the option to disable Zigbee on the M9Plus. Is such a useless feature with limited compatibility and yet you do not allow users to the option to disable it. This is really bad!!! On the verge of getting rid of it...

@Momcho @TP-Link this is just nuts. 

I'm on the same scenario - bought the M9 Plus instead of other brands because, among other reasons, I thought I could extend my home automation scenario with Zigbee devices.

Oh, was I wrong. 

 

I mean, what's the meaning of having a different network on the device to connect to Zigbee if IT ONLY SUPPORTS TP-LINK DEVICES???? 

 

What's the meaning of having it on if it's USELESS for most users? Why can't we disable that???? 

 

At least I guess we can use the USB port to power a decent Zigbee dongle. But good luck with the interference.

  @TP-Link I'm new here and just trying to get connected. I've got my Zigbee Sengled Bulbs connected and working through the Deco m9 app. How can I control them using either Alexa or Siri now? Apple seems to require that I use the Sengled Home app but it doesn't find the bulbs because the Deco hub isn't a Sengled hub. Please tell me there is a way! Thanks!
