Smart Lock Gateways for Remote Access
A gateway links compatible short-range smart devices to the internet. It can enable remote management when a lock or sensor uses Bluetooth, Bluetooth mesh or another supported local connection rather than direct Wi-Fi.
When You Need a Gateway
A direct Wi-Fi lock normally connects to the router without a separate bridge. A Bluetooth or mesh product may need a matching gateway when you want to manage it away from the property.
Check the product platform before ordering. Tuya devices require a compatible Tuya gateway. TTLock Bluetooth locks require a compatible TTLock gateway. These systems are not interchangeable.
- Remote access for compatible locks
- Status updates and notifications where supported
- Extended management beyond Bluetooth range
- Connection of supported mesh devices
- Smart scenes within a compatible ecosystem
Tuya Bluetooth Mesh Gateway
The Armstrong Bridge is designed for compatible Tuya Bluetooth and Bluetooth mesh devices. It connects the supported devices to a Wi-Fi network and can extend remote management through the Tuya ecosystem.
Place the gateway where it has strong Wi-Fi and remains within practical Bluetooth range of the devices it serves.
TTLock Gateway
The G2 gateway is intended for compatible TTLock Bluetooth smart locks. It bridges the lock to 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi for supported remote functions in the TTLock app.
Use this gateway only with products identified as TTLock compatible.
Setup Planning
Before purchase, confirm the app platform, protocol, Wi-Fi band and power requirements. The gateway must remain powered and connected for remote functions to work.
Avoid hiding it inside a metal enclosure or placing it far from the lock. Test remote access before relying on the system.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does every smart lock need a gateway?
No. Direct Wi-Fi products generally do not. Bluetooth or mesh models may need one for remote access.
Can a Tuya gateway control a TTLock product?
No. Choose the gateway that matches the device platform.
Where should the gateway be installed?
Place it within practical range of the supported devices and where it has reliable Wi-Fi and power.
Will a gateway improve a weak Wi-Fi signal?
A gateway bridges supported devices, but it does not replace proper Wi-Fi coverage.
Can one gateway support several devices?
The number supported depends on the gateway and device platform. Check the individual gateway specification.
