What is a Smart Hub?
The Smart Hub is a device that serves as a central control point for your smart home devices. It typically connects to the internet and uses wireless communication protocols such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, and Thread to communicate with other smart devices, such as smart lights, thermostats, security cameras, and more.
The Smart Hub can be controlled via a smartphone app, a web interface, or even through voice commands using a virtual assistant like Google Assistant. It can also automate actions based on user preferences, such as turning on lights when someone enters a room or adjusting the thermostat according to the time of day.
One of the advantages of using it is that it allows for easier control and automation of multiple devices from a single interface.
Overall, a Smart Hub can help simplify the management of a "smart home" and enhance the user experience.
How does it help me make my home smarter?
Remote Control: With the smart hub, you can control your smart home remotely using your mobile phone or computer. This allows you to manage your home even when you are not there.
Energy Saving: The smart hub can coordinate your devices and help save energy. For example, it can control your smart lights and turn them off automatically when they are not needed.
Automation: Automation is a key factor in the operation of a smart home, and smart hub devices significantly contribute to the creation of automations. This may include creating automatic rules for turning devices on and off, adjusting the home's temperature, setting lighting, and much more. Automation helps you save time, reduce energy costs, and make your life easier. A smart hub can facilitate the creation of automations in your smart home, as it acts as a central controller for your various devices. It can connect your devices and coordinate their functions using built-in sensors and other technologies. It can also work with other smart home systems, such as the smart lock or smart camera.
Advantages of a Smart Hub
A smart hub is a device that connects multiple smart devices in your home and allows you to control them from a central location. Some of the advantages include:
- Convenience: You can control many smart devices from a central point, such as a smartphone or tablet, making your life easier.
- Time-saving: You can control multiple devices simultaneously and schedule various actions, such as automatic temperature control in your home, allowing you to save time.
- Increased security: With the smart hub, you can control your security cameras and alarm devices, allowing you to increase the security of your home.
- Cost-saving: With the ability to control lighting and thermostats remotely, you can save money on your bill.
What should I consider before buying a Smart Hub?
- Compatibility: Ensure that the smart hub you choose is compatible with the devices you have in your home. Check the specifications of the smart hub and make sure it supports your devices.
- Platform: Ensure that the smart hub supports the software platform you wish to use. Some smart hubs use different platforms, so make sure you have the correct platform for the smart hub you want to purchase.
- Security: Ensure that the smart hub you choose has good security practices and has been updated for the latest security threats. Smart hubs are connected to the internet and can be a target for malicious attackers.
- Features: Ensure that the smart hub you choose has all the functions you need.
Connectivity with Bluetooth, Thread, and Wi-Fi
- Bluetooth: Connects to smart devices via Bluetooth and has a range of approximately 10 meters.
- Wi-Fi: Connects to smart devices via Wi-Fi network. Supported by smartphone.
- Thread: A wireless protocol developed by a group of companies, designed to allow its protocol devices to communicate even when the WiFi network is weak.

Good quality construction. The sound volume is OK for its size. It's not for throwing parties, but it's fine.
On its own, it doesn't do much; everything is controlled from the phone via the Google Home app, and in collaboration with the Google Nest, it gets the job done. You can do the same job just from the phone without the Nest.
The Google Home app is for users without many demands... or with a lot of patience and understanding.

For the limited things it does, it is very good. However, for everything else, it is not very useful. It does not listen very well to Ok Google, it has issues with the cameras with Xiaomi, overall if you have it to play some Spotify, it's fine. It is not suitable for more than that

Most of the time it works fine. Sometimes it disconnects and can't find the devices, so it loses commands.

Did you find this review helpful? Very good device, the speakers are loud and have relatively good sound. Of course, they cannot be compared to regular speakers, but for simple music or video and conversation with Google Assistant, they are great.
Like other Google products, their connectivity is very easy but requires a mobile phone. Unfortunately, either the processor or the software is a bit slow (e.g. animations freeze or it takes a while to open a result from Google).
I use it in English, so I don't know if Greek works and how well (use Google Assistant on your phone to try it out).
I would recommend it for a bedroom, kitchen, or any other location where you need Google Assistant and a screen to view results or control smart devices. If you want something simpler or don't want the screen, I highly recommend the Google Nest pebble 100 times more.

A beautiful display from Google with several extra features from the Google speaker, due to the screen.
Easy connection via GH.
Very good sound, much better than the regular Google speaker.
With the ZigBee sensors for temperature/humidity that I have, it does not display the temperature, it stays in the loading state, and it does not display the climate devices, although they appear normally in the app. Maybe this specific issue will be fixed with an upcoming update.
In general, it works correctly, I have no complaints.
As for the price in Greece, it has gone up a lot, that's why I bought it from a Bulgarian eshop for €62.50, hence the 4 stars.Translated from Greek ·- Construction quality

Excellent, it easily connects with both Wi-Fi devices and the mobile application. The only downside is that you need to know English well because it does not include Greek language, but other than that, it is a gem on its own. It deserves five stars

Did you find this review helpful? I have it here for three months and it does its job very well. If you have bad internet, sometimes it needs a restart. Its screen is quite good and of high quality. It has powerful speakers. It has no issues with connecting Nanoleaf and Xiaomi smart plugs (Mi Smart Plug). I highly recommend it.

Especially at the price of 50 euros, it is worth every penny and more.
In addition to everything else it offers, it can be used as a baby monitor, especially if you connect it to a Google Nest Camera.

Did you find this review helpful? I don't remember how I lived without this. I turn on the a/c, lights, look for my phone (essential). We even had a (children's) party with music from it, very good speaker.
The only thing that bothers me a little is that the Xiaomi camera doesn't stream well on Nest, but I consider this to be a camera problem. The next one will be tp link and the problem is solved!

Did you find this review helpful?Analogically, for its price, it is preferable to the simple speaker. You have central - optical control of all devices and it is a fairly good media playback station. The interaction is better than the simple speaker. The sound is quite satisfactory. However, some additional features require premium accounts (meaning payment). Anyway, just as a photo frame, it is worth it (through Google Photos, you can update the photos very quickly, without memory cards and USB sticks).

The quality of the material is amazing and I didn't expect such clear and powerful sound.
I bought two, one for the living room/kitchen and one for the bedroom.
It is perfect as a clock/alarm on the nightstand, whether you only want it for that or for routines and control throughout the house, plus it also shows me the quality of my sleep.
It is easy to navigate both by voice and by hand.
I highly recommend it for anyone who has or wants to create a smart home and for anyone who wants to have a smart assistant.Translated from Greek ·- Construction quality

It disconnects almost daily and only reconnects with a restart, which essentially makes it useless since its role is to execute commands whenever you need it. There is no way to set a static IP, which would help with the stability of the connection.

One of the best purchases I have made. Daily intensive use in the kitchen for music and news through YouTube (sharing via mobile for easier access). I will probably buy a second one soon.
(Note: It would be convenient if it had a playstore for more applications, but it definitely WORTH its money!)

The main use I make of it is to have it next to the bed and use it for the following:
a) Alarm clock (with nice and gradually increasing sounds)
b) Clock next to the bed that does not bother at all with its low brightness screen
c) Music or sleeping sounds before sleep
d) Cast from mobile any youtube video
e) Nice photo frame that pulls material from my google photos account
f) Sleep tracker with interesting statistics on how/how much you sleepFor these uses, and with the quality of construction it has, it is definitely a great option, especially during the periods when it is sold for less than 50 euros, I wouldn't even think about it.

For 49 euros right now, it is excellent! Luxurious and well-designed packaging. High-quality plastic material charger. Amazing high-resolution screen quality that looks like it's 4K when you look at it! In terms of touch, it gives you the impression that it is a thick glass with slight scratches. Very powerful speaker of good quality, but not as good in sound as the MI smart clock, especially in bass. Also, the processor is not as snappy, but it gets the job done! If it were more responsive like the Mi and had better sound, it would be the top! What interested me the most was being able to set alarms and talk to it to play anything from YouTube, which it does without needing premium or YouTube Music, unlike smart clocks. Sometimes I ask it silly things and it answers and I laugh.. That's it.. :D

Ok, the screen is pretty nice, also the sound is great. I found it on sale and bought it, but I realized that it doesn't have the ability to make video calls, and in order to call someone, they must have the duo app installed. I have an issue with Netflix as it doesn't display anything on the device, but sends it to the TV. It's still early though, and I will watch YouTube videos to learn how to use it. For now, the Siri on my phone is way better. The only thing I managed quite easily was to control the lights of my Xiaomi and the TCL Android TV I have in the bedroom.
Edit: After a month or so of use, the device started to shut down or make strange noises from the speaker. I will probably return it for inspection because it seems like it's not worth the money at all.Translated from Greek ·- Construction quality
