There’s a lot to talk about here.
- What is a hub?
- Pi like computer
- ZigBee radio
- Z-Wave radio
- WiFi radio
- Alexa, Google Home are not a hub exactly
- Philips Hue (ZigBee but not everyone’s)
- TCP (gone and forgotten)
- SmartThings – good hub but things are changing
- Old hub will need to be replaced to add more features
- Wink – disappeared in the Wink of an eye
- Other vendors – hub’d to death
