Why Choose the Hybrid V5-L(WZ) Controller? The V5-L(WZ) is designed to give you ultimate control options. It combines Zigbee technology with RF compatibility, ensuring it works perfectly with all Hi-Line remotes, wall panels, and other devices using the 2.4GHz RF frequency. This makes it highly adaptable depending on your needs:
- Hybrid Zigbee (V5-L(WZ)): If you want a solution that works with popular smart platforms like Philips Hue, including full integration via the Hue Bridge, then the V5-L(WZ) is ideal. This controller not only allows control through Zigbee but also integrates effortlessly with Hi-Line RF remotes and wall panels, giving installers and users multiple control options without any hassle. This flexibility is perfect for those who require a reliable system that can adapt to any situation or installation.
- Pure Zigbee or WiFi?: If your setup only needs Zigbee control without the added RF capability, the V5-L(WZ) still stands out with its robust compatibility across various Zigbee platforms. However, if Zigbee isn't a necessity for you and you prefer a simpler, more straightforward option, consider our V5-L(WT) WiFi Controller. The V5-L(WT) is well-suited for users who want to control their lighting through Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant without adding Zigbee to their system. It simplifies installation and setup by focusing solely on WiFi connectivity, making it an easy choice for those looking for basic smart control without added complexity.
Understanding your control needs is key. If you require a hybrid system that integrates seamlessly with Philips Hue, Tuya, or other Zigbee-based ecosystems while also working with RF remotes, the V5-L(WZ) is an ideal choice. For simple voice control via Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant, the V5-L(WT) WiFi Controller offers an excellent, straightforward solution.

Important Compatibility Note:
This controller is Zigbee + RF (2.4GHz) and can be used in two different ways:
-
No hub needed – local wireless control:
If you do not plan to use Alexa, Google, or any smart app, this controller can still be used effectively with Hi-Line’s 2.4GHz RF remote controls or touch wall panels. No Zigbee hub or internet connection is required — ideal for simple, reliable wireless installations.
-
Smart app or voice control – Zigbee hub required:
To access control via the Tuya Smart Life app, or to use Alexa, Google Assistant, or Philips Hue, a Zigbee hub is needed. Supported hubs include:
– WG-Z Tuya Zigbee Gateway (recommended for use with the Tuya ecosystem)
– Amazon Echo 4th Gen, Echo Studio, Echo Show 10 (Zigbee built-in)
– Philips Hue Bridge (for Hue system integration)
-
Looking for WiFi control without a hub?
If you prefer direct WiFi control without needing a Zigbee hub, check our V5-L(WT) controller. It connects directly to your Tuya Smart Life app and supports Alexa and Google Assistant without any gateway required.
What does the WG-Z Zigbee Gateway do, and why choose V5-L(WZ) over V5-L(WT)?
The WG-Z allows you to connect Zigbee controllers like this one to your WiFi network for full app and voice control.
Zigbee offers low-latency, low-power communication and builds a mesh network, making it highly stable — especially for larger installations.
The WG-Z supports up to 128 devices in a single system and is ideal for scalable smart home or commercial setups with multiple zones.
