Imagine all your smart home devices all in one smart home app? Now imagine if it didn’t even need an Internet connection! This Smart home hub is seriously the best hub I’ve seen for amalgamating all smart home devices in one place for dashboards and touch panels, but also for Alexa and Google Home integration. I’ve managed to import my Philips Hue, my Ikea products, my Xiaomi Aqara products, and my cheap Chinese Zigbee 3.0 and Z-wave stuff, and I can control it all locally without the Internet! For anything that can’t be controlled natively there is a community creating drivers to make your stuff work, and worst comes to worst there’s always IFTTT. I am yet to find something I can’t connect to it one way or another! I now have just one Alexa Smart Home skill because any device that is controlled by Hubitat can be advertised to Alexa, Google Home and IFTTT… Or not if you want to keep them off the Internet, you literally tick the ones you want to advertise and it’s that simple. The versatility and configurability is endless, it can be as private or as public as you like. This is basically Home Assistant for dummies, and Smart things for nerds.
