help Aeotec Smart Home Hub FAQ

Which smart-home protocols does the Aeotec Smart Home Hub support?

The hub is designed to connect Zigbee and Z-Wave devices, and it also supports Matter-related smart-home integration. Compatibility still depends on the device type and the software platform managing the hub.

Does the Aeotec Smart Home Hub work with SmartThings?

The hub is built for the SmartThings ecosystem and can coordinate compatible sensors, lights, switches, and other devices. Features can vary by region, firmware version, and the device's SmartThings compatibility.

Can the Aeotec hub run automations locally?

Aeotec emphasizes local processing for supported routines, which can improve response time and reduce dependence on cloud services. Not every device or automation necessarily runs locally, so the specific routine should be checked in SmartThings.

Why use the Aeotec hub instead of separate Zigbee and Z-Wave controllers?

One hub can bring Zigbee, Z-Wave, and Matter devices into a central smart-home setup. That reduces the number of controllers you manage, but it also makes the hub and its software the main point of control.
