Local gateway support for tap-to-run scenes

The new version of the Zigbee gateway supports locally running automation scenes. If all tasks and devices involved in an automation scene use the new Zigbee gateway, the tasks and devices can be run based on scene settings, even if the network connection fails.

Zigbee gateway linkage data backup and recovery

The Tuya Smart app supports Zigbee gateway linkage data backup and recovery. This means that even if the Zigbee gateway is removed, the information about the previous linkage scenes is automatically reserved. When the devices are reconnected to the network by normal pairing or automatic pairing, the linkage information is recovered.
