MOES is a smart home brand launched in 2017 by Wenzhou Morning Electronics, a company founded in 2014 that runs its own factory. It sells switches, dimmers, plugs, thermostats and radiator valves, lamps and gateways built largely on the Tuya platform, and the devices are controlled through the MOES app or Tuya's Smart Life and Tuya Smart apps.
MOES devices connect over Wi-Fi, Zigbee or Bluetooth and are managed through Tuya's cloud. Zigbee and Bluetooth devices need a gateway, and MOES sells several, including a wired Matter gateway with a built-in Thread border router that can share bridged devices with Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa and SmartThings.
That suits buyers who want low-cost Tuya-compatible switches, sensors and thermostats with broad voice assistant and open platform reach. It is weaker for people who want a single vendor-run integration: the open platform routes (Home Assistant, Homey, Zigbee2MQTT) are maintained by Tuya, platform projects or community developers, and user reports on Matter bridging through the gateway are mixed.

Much of the range is Tuya Wi-Fi, and the multi-mode gateway uses 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi. Third-party summaries describe MOES as built largely on Tuya, with Wi-Fi and Zigbee devices.
MOES sells Zigbee 3.0 gateways, a Zigbee signal repeater and many Zigbee switches, modules and sensors. A Matter gateway page says it can add up to 128 Zigbee or Thread sub-devices.
A Bluetooth mesh gateway and multi-mode gateways with BLE are sold, listed as working with Alexa and Google Home or the Smart Life and Tuya Smart apps.
The MOES Matter gateway has a built-in Thread border router and supports Thread devices, according to MOES. Its wired connection is Ethernet, with USB-C power.
MOES says its Matter and Thread gateway is Matter certified and bridges Zigbee and Thread sub-devices. It is paired in the MOES, Smart Life or Tuya Smart app, then the Matter code is shared to another platform. A SmartThings community thread on the MZHUB model reports that Tuya devices usually bridge well, but some devices never appear and SmartThings setup can be difficult. The MOES app also added Matter device support in 2023.
The MOES app listing says it is compatible with Alexa and Google Home, and MOES gateway pages list Google Home. The Matter gateway can also share devices with Google Home.
The Matter gateway page lists SmartThings as a supported ecosystem, and says several ecosystems can be connected at once. User reports on SmartThings pairing vary.
Home Assistant has a built-in Tuya integration, listed with Tuya and a community member as maintainers, so MOES does not maintain it. It is cloud push, needs a Smart Life or Tuya Smart account and a QR code login, supports most platforms except lock and remote, and does not expose everything the app does. We did not confirm whether a MOES app account works, or ZHA support for MOES Zigbee devices.
The Zigbee2MQTT project has device pages for MOES products, including the MS-104Z light switch module. The project is community run, not maintained by MOES.
A MOES app by the developer NovaCore Labs covers Zigbee MOES switches, presence sensors, wall remotes, a smart circuit breaker and plugs. It lists Homey Cloud, Pro, Pro mini and Self-Hosted Server but states Homey Bridge is required, needs Homey v12.4.0 or newer, and says Matter cannot be handled by a driver other than Athom's. An Athom and Tuya app was announced, but a February 2025 update says Tuya revoked API access and Homey removed it from the store.

Tuya developer platform

Tuya runs a developer platform with cloud APIs for device management and smart home use. It is Tuya's, not MOES's. We did not confirm a local API for MOES devices.
Checked 11 November 2026 against the brand's own pages, app store listings and each project's own page. “Not found” means we searched and found nothing, not that it is impossible. Compatibility changes often. Spot an error? Tell us and we will fix it.
Common questions about MOES
Does MOES support Matter?
Yes, officially. MOES says its Matter and Thread gateway is Matter certified and bridges Zigbee and Thread sub-devices. It is paired in the MOES, Smart Life or Tuya Smart app, then the Matter code is shared to another platform. A SmartThings community thread on the MZHUB model reports that Tuya devices usually bridge well, but some devices never appear and SmartThings setup can be difficult. The MOES app also added Matter device support in 2023.
Does MOES work with Alexa?
Yes, officially. Listed on the app and gateway pages. MOES describes linking through the Smart Life app or by enabling the Smart Life skill in the Alexa app.

It lists Homey Cloud, Pro, Pro mini and Self-Hosted Server but states Homey Bridge is required, needs Homey v12.4.0 or newer, and says Matter cannot be handled by a driver other than Athom's. An Athom and Tuya app was announced, but a February 2025 update says Tuya revoked API access and Homey removed it from the store.
