Bluetooth Mesh Network
The Beysen Smart Plug utilizes Bluetooth 5.0 to form a robust Bluetooth Mesh network. This technology offers several advantages:

- Reduced Wi-Fi Congestion: Since the plugs communicate via Bluetooth Mesh, they do not add significant load to your home Wi-Fi network, ensuring your internet speed remains unaffected.
- Reliability: Mesh networks can offer more stable connections as devices can relay signals to each other.
