Mandatory gateway
1, millet smart socket is divided into Bluetooth version, WiFi version and zigbee version. If you do not want to cooperate with the gateway to use, then buy the WiFi version is good, and the WiFi version of the Xiaomi smart socket is relatively cheap.
2, in fact, the gateway price is not very high, tens of dollars, if you change hands out then it is estimated that it can not be sold in full, and you can also put it away until the next time you set up the smart home of the Xiaomi ecosystem.

3, if there is no gateway can use the wifi version, the smart socket is not a Bluetooth signal, is a similar Bluetooth signal. Of course, some of the ones bought now have their own Bluetooth gateway, and the gateway is needed for family linkage.
In short, the millet smart socket needs to be used with the gateway, as long as it is the wifi version, it does not need the gateway, and it can be used after the direct installation of the Mi APP configuration. Bluetooth version or zigbee version is required to connect to the gateway can be used. Among them, the zigbee version of the millet smart socket has more than the wifi version of a power consumption statistics function, which is also more practical.
