🔷 Best Smart Home Hubs 2026

"I’ve been using the Homey Pro for a few months now, and I have to say—it’s one of the most powerful and versatile smart home hubs I’ve tried. The setup was surprisingly smooth, and I love that it supports so many different protocols (Zigbee, Z-Wave, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and more). Unlike other hubs tha..."

"I like to consider home assistant the god of smart home hubs, and so far it is. There’s tons of things you can do, and any compatible devices (which includes a lot) can work together seamlessly. As far as connectivity goes, it connects to your home network with Ethernet, requiring no wireless setup,..."

"This is an excellent product which is very easy to set up using Samsung SmartThings app.I purchased the hub primarily for use with my LeakSmart sensors and valve. The company behind LeakSmart (not Aeotec) is out of business now. I was able to pair all the sensors and valve successfully, and configur..."

"I've had so many Echos over the years, beginning with the 1st Gen, can't live without them anymore since so much of our home is Alexa connected. I originally got a refurbished 1st Gen Echo Show 15", not knowing the 2nd gen was coming out. So glad I returned it for the new 21" Echo Show, it's absolut..."

"Set up was easy. Didn’t take long to add to a detached garage door. Added a second sensor for a second door and everything is working fine. A good product to have if multiple people use the garage doors and somehow are not attentive to whether the door is closed or not."

"So glad I made the switch to Tapo! Works well so far, connects fully with the rest of my TP-Link products and Google Home, and this allows me to have sirens in various locations throughout my house. I have a detached garage and needed something to alert me if garage doors were opened overnight and t..."

"If you’re serious about home automation and want a system that can handle anything you throw at it, this hub is an absolute must-have. It’s incredibly powerful and versatile, but let me start with a fair warning: to truly unlock its full potential, you’ll need to be somewhat technical. That said, th..."

"Got this to replace a Wink bridge after they, rather abruptly and rudely, swapped to a pay model.Unboxed, connected to my router (patch cable included) and downloaded the app while the unit powered on. Used the app to create an account, pressed the button on the back when prompted and my iPhone con..."

"I'm not new to Smart devices. For the past two years, I have been using a Samsung Smartthings hub with their door and motion sensors. The problem? Every 2-3 months I was replacing the batteries in those sensors. I was completely dissatisfied with Samsung devices.Aqara was not the first remedy I ..."

"I love the starter kit...the Echo Hub is very nice and the accessories (plugs, bulbs etc) are very easy and quick to set up. This is a good way to get started, and then add additional devices (even cross platform)--ie Ring Devices, Kasa Smart Switches etc."

"Originally I was going to maybe rate this 4 stars, but honestly, this is EXACTLY what I've been looking for and nothing even comes remotely close to it, so I'll go ahead and list everything it does great, followed by what needs improvements, and finally what you should NOT purchase this for... and a..."

"Lutron was founded by the inventor of the dimmer switch, and has more experience and a broader range of them than anyone else. These are an easy way to replace a regular switch, or add a new switch anywhere without new wiring. An optional hub (included with some kits) expands its capabilities, but i..."

"At first I thought it was completely broken because there was no light when I plugged it in to my USB adapter. I thought maybe the voltage was wrong, since it did not come with it's own adapter, so I looked at the specs. They were correct. Then I decided to see if just the LED was broken and it was ..."

""The Unified Hub My Smart Home Needed—PoE and Matter are Game Changers!"I’ve been waiting for a hub that finally ties everything together seamlessly, and the M200 is it. Coming from the older M2, the addition of Matter Controller and Thread Border Router functionality means my setup isn't just Aqara..."

"My good experiences with other SwitchBot devices over the years encouraged me to try the SwitchBot Hub 3 for some extra functionality with a SwitchBot Lock Ultra Touch Combo that I purchased recently. What is really nice about this unit is that it does so many different things. I like having tempe..."

"This allowed us to keep using our old Pro 3 cameras after we accidentally removed them from our original hub after a move. This was easy to use and our cameras had no issue joining the base station- hooray for avoiding another subscription fee!"

"Am very pleased with all of the TAPO products that I have purchased (hub, camera(S), door bell, extender(S). The hub provides an easy way to integrate and centralize all of my storage needs.The migration from my older (smaller) TAPO hub was painless and went very well, i few clicks and a complete r..."

"If you have SENGLED light bulbs (or any Sengled smart product, Im assuming) that no longer work with Alexa BUY THIS!!! I know its super frustrating to spend more money in order to get something you already paid for to work again BUT if you have multiple bulbs like I do (aka my entire house!) Its way..."

"This hub makes a solid connection to my 2.4 gHz WiFi network and provides good coverage.Most (and so far for me, all) Aqara smart items bridged through it can be addressed in HomeAssistant through the HomeKit integration. No need to bother with Matter - unless you want to. The IR blaster, however, ..."
