Best in breed for category – versatile and powerful without excessive tech skills
I think that unless you want to go with the fully customizable, but you really gotta dive in, Home Assistant, or you are going with the extremely expensive managed platforms by companies that specialize in home automation and theaters, you canât really beat this particular niche. So itâs pretty powerful, and SmartThings has a great community and if you want to learn and get very custom, you certainly canBut if you want pretty powerful out of the box, along with lots of abilities, since it says Z wave, zigbee, matter, Wi-Fi⦠This is pretty good.I am only outgrowing it because of my desire for extreme customization on the rules side. So home assistant will be next for me.I guess my main issue is that they do not handle cameras very well nor very many of them. You can get a custom driver but I didnât find it working very well. Right now it seems like Tapo is one of the better solutions and Aqara door doorbell video really doesnât good job on it!But for having something that can get a lot done and is very versatile, yet doesnât require extensive training, this is probably about as good as they get. I like it more than Apple but I still use a couple of the apple features just because I have the iPhone and iPad. Iâve got a door locked that can use NFC off of my phone. Thatâs a no-brainer

Works as Intended!
Super easy to set everything up that integrates with z-wave! I have all Yale locks and this hub was the only solution available to fully integrate everything remotely. I highly recommend this hub for SmartThings!

Easy set up
I bought this Z wave hub to work with my Schlage Connect Deadbolt lock and it does that just fine. However, when I tried to link it to my Alexa Dot 3 using the Smartthings skill it would not recognize the Aetoc hub. Not only that it caused the Alexa to have a green light to come on and circle the Alexa Dot. I tried calling Amazon Alexa support but was put on hold for the tech to try to fix it on his end after trying to fix the issue. I was on hold 20 minutes and just hung up and decided to just reset the Alexa Dot. That fixed the light flashing issue. I have not tried again to link the Aeotect Hub since its not a big deal to connect with Alexa for me. The Hub does work with the SmartThings app. I first put the hub next to my router but after working briefly it stopped working. I moved the hub a liitle bit in front of my router and it has been working well.I have it connected to my router with the supplied ethernet cable.

Awesome product
Really awesome, went thru a few things before I found you’d. Exactly what I needed. Bought a house 3 years ago, alarm.com calls and says if I didn’t pay they’re subscription our smart home devices won’t work anymore, works great for zwave devices, no subscription every thing is controlled thru the smart things app and some thru Alexa.

Cloud-Dependent Junk
I had originally purchased this as a means of getting my feet wet on my journey to upgrade my newly purchased home into a smart home. After almost a solid week of research, this product seemed like the all-in-one package. It supported both Z-Wave, Zigbee, and Matter, meaning I wouldn’t have to have separate hubs for each protocol. Aeotec was given the IP rights for SmartThings, so that was a big green flag to pull the trigger on this company as I figured that meant it was at least reputable and proceeded with my purchase.The intent was to set up this device with HomeAssistant. The product description *heavily* implies that this product works locally, only needing WAN access for setup stating – and I quote – “Requires internet access for set-up: Ethernet connection recommended, but Wi-Fi is also available.”There is also a question asking if it is cloud dependent in the Q&A with Aeotec themselves stating – again, I quote – “This hub is currently cloud dependent, but will become local-dependent in the near future through firmware updates.” back in 2021. I had assumed that given the current product decription saying it only needed internet for setup, in addition to SmartThings Edge drivers, meant I could finally have local control, but alas this is not the case. As soon as I pulled my WAN cord to simulate an outage, I could no longer control my devices via the SmartThings App even still connected to the same WIFI as the hub via Ethernet. It outright refused to work and the app said my hub was offline. Home automation still should – in theory – work, but since I only have smart switches and lights, setting up automations was outside the realm of possibilities with my current hardware. This also meant that I had no way of integrating SmartThings with HomeAssistant to control it locally either.So why does this matter if the device works as intended without an internet connection? Well for starters, I value my privacy and dont want my devices phoning home constantly. I also dont like giving companies the ability to brick my hardware at the drop of the hat. A company called Insteon shut down back in 2022. Their service relied entirely on the cloud infrastructure to function (just like SmartThings). Once the company shut down it then effectively turned every single one of their IoT products into a paperweight and completely worthless. On the other hand, we have companies like Amazon shutting down user’s accounts and devices (Including his IoT security system) for false claims of racism by a delivery driver. With all of this happening in the IoT/Smarthome ecosystem, I refuse to give any company control of my devices and my hardware – and so should you.If you disagree with that sentiment and instead want only cloud-enabled devices for your smart home, then by all means treat this review as a 5-star review. The product worked fine – albeit not as advertised.

I had the 1st generation SmartThings hub and purchased this for new home. Works well and SmartThings app has come a long way in the past 3 years. In addition many of the Z-Wave devices have also improved greatly. I have used SmartThings to automate many things in my home (door locks, inside and outside lights, garage door). eg. Light inside the house by garage turns on for 10 minutes (then turns off) when the garage door opens. Light inside garage turns of when motion is detected and lights turn off automatically after 10 minutes (in case I forget). The possibilities are endless. Installing devices with the app can be frustrating and time consuming and is the hardest part. Once installed, scenes and automations are easy to create. Before purchasing an add-on device, make sure it is compatible with SmartThings and check reviews. Some work better than others.

Lo instalé en la sala y el control recibe las señales de dispositivos en mismo nivel de la casa, no he probado el alcance para un segudundo o tercer piso. Hasta ahora funciona según lo esperado. El único detalle que creo lo especifica en manual, que no funciona sin internet.

Very expensive but easy to install. i hooked up an old zigbee door lock from Roger’s in minutes. Does support a vast amount of devices.
