The more smart home devices you add to your home, the more important a good smart home hub will become for you. A smart home hub acts as a center point for communication between all your smart devices. Whether they are smart lights or door locks, it all comes under the control of your smart home hub.
A smart home hub brings all your smart devices in synchronization with each other. For example, if you lock your doors, your hub can tell the lights to turn off. In that case, if your hub had a technical glitch, it can be highly inconvenient. So, you should choose only the best hubs in the market when you decide to get one:
Samsung SmartThings
The SmartThings hub will bring all your smart devices together as one seamless device. But you will need some apps that are made specifically for some devices. The SmartThings hub allows you to group your devices by room or automate them with all kinds of functions.
Win Hub 2
The Wink 2 hub is the most versatile smart home hub in the market today. It has compatibility with countless protocols, even thread. Thread is an upcoming protocol that has not even been launched yet! If you have smart home devices made by a bunch of different manufacturers, then the wink 2 hub is your best bet!
Amazon Echo Plus
This is easily the most popular option in the market today with the Zigbee automation hub. While it is not something that is very ‘out-of-this-world’ it is certainly one of the best devices if you want the power of Alexa with some great home automation.
