I was not a fan of Zigbee, but after trying a Tuya hub I see many advantages.
Sensors can be very cheap (e.g. motion sensor for 12€), small and with longer battery life. Plus they are a lot faster than Wifi stuff, because establishing the WiFi connection costs 2-3 seconds.
I was positively surprised that many non-Tuya devices pair with the hub and can be used with Apilio! I am seriously considering to sell the Philips Hue hub and connect the bulbs with the Tuya hub.
