WPC ETA CERTIFICATION FOR SMART HOME GATEWAY
INTRODUCTION
A smart home gateway, or hub, serves as a central controller for all your smart home devices. Connecting to your home's Wi-Fi network, it facilitates communication between devices such as lights, thermostats, and cameras. This hub uses various wireless technologies to enable control through your phone or voice commands. Think of it as a smart coordinator that ensures all your gadgets work seamlessly together while safeguarding your data and devices. With a smart home gateway, you can easily customize and optimize your smart devices for a more convenient and comfortable living environment.
