Aeotec Hub SmartThings 2021

Samsung's SmartThings ecosystem has garnered a huge and loyal fan base over the years.  Driven by an easy to use app, low cost hub and accessories, and support for a huge number of devices, it was quite a surprise when Samsung announced it would no longer sell hardware. Many thought this would be the end of the platform but (not so) behind the scenes, Samsung was making strategic partnership with other hardware manufacturers.

Fast forward to 2021 and the new Aeotec Smart Home Hub has been introduced to replace the previous SmartThings Hub V3 that was so popular.  The Aeotec Smart Home Hub works with SmartThings devices, ZWave, Zigbee as well as WiFi and IP devices.  Over 1800 devices from over 100 manufacturers are compatible.  The hub uses the SmartThings app for iOS and Android.

Aeotec Smart Home Hub Works with SmartThings

The beauty of a smart home hub is the ability to integrate devices using technologies like Z-Wave or Zigbee.  With a hub you can add locks from Weiser, Yale or Schlage and control them from your smart phone.  Set up user codes easily and get notifications when the door is unlocked.

Want a more comfortable home?  Add a thermostat from brands like ecobee or Honeywell and set up schedules and control.

The app also supports cameras.  Add the Aeotec Cam360 and you'll be able to check on the house to see what the family or family pet's up to from anywhere in the world.  It's comforting to be able to check-in when you're away from home.

USE YOUR VOICE ASSISTANT

The Aeotec Smart Home Hub works with Alexa and Google Home voice assistants, so you can have hands free control over your devices.  Tell Alexa to turn on the lights or Google to turn down the heat without having to grab a smart phone or tablet.  It doesn't take long to appreciate the convenience of voice control.
