“I have been using Alexa however I wanted to purchase a smart home hub to control my smart devices with more flexibility. I went with smart things and the aeotec hub after a lot of reviews. Easy to install and connect my existing devices and very easy to create routines with more options than the alexa app. Works well with alexa. There are many brands compatible with it, the only negative is there are some brands non compatible, such as Govee”
“An easy to use smart hub. Quick to set-up and connect with devices. The build quality is very good and the styling is impressive. I recommend this product.”

“Smartthings seem to be in the middle of a huge changeover to edge drivers. This is a good thing, because it means local control and no reliance on working internet. However, the z-wave drivers are very basic atm, and config parameters can't be easily edited. I'm having to write my own drivers for some devices. Hopefully this situation will improve next year.”
“My 1st smart home device. Currently still in the midst of getting other accessories to try them out.
Vesternet team are very attentive. I believe they will be able to assist if the need arises.”
“The hub can be used with a range of security related actuators and sensors. Lack of battery fallback means the customers have to provide it by some other means or it will be easier to circumvent such "security" installation.”
