The Aeotec Smart Home Hub is the current SmartThings hub, built for Aeotec after Samsung stopped making its own. It talks to devices over Zigbee 3.0, Z-Wave Plus and Wi-Fi, so it can run lights, sensors, locks and plugs from hundreds of brands through the SmartThings app on iOS, Android or Windows. It replaces the SmartThings Hub v3 and does the same job: scenes, schedules, notifications and energy monitoring in one place. It suits people who want one hub for mixed Zigbee and Z-Wave gear and are happy to live inside Samsung's app; anyone wanting local-only control or deep automation should look at Hubitat or Home Assistant instead.

Owners rate it well as a straightforward SmartThings hub that handles Zigbee and Z-Wave gear reliably. Complaints center on cloud dependence and occasional pairing or app hiccups.
The Aeotec Smart Home Hub is a SmartThings hub that connects and coordinates the smart devices in a home. It replaces the SmartThings Hub v3. It communicates over Z-Wave Plus, Zigbee 3.0 and Wi-Fi, so it works with devices from many brands.
The hub is controlled through the SmartThings app on iOS, Android or Windows. From the app you can adjust settings for individual devices. You can also set up scenes and scheduled events for a single room or the whole home.
The app can send notifications from sensors, remotely control smart lights and appliances, and monitor energy usage. The hub requires an internet-connected Wi-Fi router, and an available Ethernet port is recommended. A smartphone or tablet running the SmartThings app is also needed.
