Tuya Smart
What Is a Tuya Bluetooth Smart Padlock?
A Tuya Bluetooth padlock combines local lock electronics with nearby app communication and optional gateway connectivity.
DIRECT ANSWER
A Tuya Bluetooth smart padlock communicates directly with a nearby phone and, on supported configurations, can connect to cloud services through a compatible Bluetooth gateway.
Point-to-point Bluetooth
Tuya's official documentation distinguishes direct short-range phone communication from gateway-connected operation. Direct Bluetooth is useful for pairing, supported management and nearby interaction.
Fingerprint unlocking remains a local physical access method on BioLock biometric models.
Gateway-connected operation
A compatible gateway converts between Bluetooth devices and cloud connectivity. Remote features depend on the lock firmware, Tuya panel, gateway, network and permissions.
