Smart Home Hub 2 ensures faster and smarter home automation
The Smart Home Hub 2 is designed to make smart homes more responsive and reliable. It supports a range of smart home standards, allowing devices from different brands to work smoothly. Thanks to the SmartThings app, users can control and connect more than 3,200 devices from a single platform. The hub works with a wide range of smart plugs, sensors, lights, cameras and thermostats from top brands.
One of the hub's notable features is its automation capabilities. Users can set up routines to turn on lights, adjust temperatures, or automatically activate sensors. The hub also supports voice control, making it easy to manage devices from anywhere. Speaking of performance improvements, the hub offers a 70% faster CPU (than its predecessor) while doubling the RAM for smoother connections to multiple devices.
The device features a slim design with a compact form factor that fits into any home environment. Fast Wi-Fi setup allows users to connect the hub to Wi-Fi and start building their smart home in minutes. As part of the Works with SmartThings (WWST) ecosystem, it offers compatibility with over 4,500 certified devices from nearly 380 partner brands.
Additionally, the Smart Home Hub 2 supports Zigbee, Thread and Matter protocols for better interoperability with a variety of smart home devices. The best part is that the hub is easy to set up, even if the user is new to the smart home. Thanks to the quick setup process, users with no prior experience can get started in less than a minute.
