One of the original smart hubs in the industry, the Aeotec Smart Home Hub Gen 3 is our go-to smart home hub. This device is reliable, especially because it has the ability to have a hard-wired ethernet connection – which ensures your smart home stays connected. It also supports all the major automation protocols including Z-Wave, Zigbee and – importantly – Matter.
With this hub, you’ll also be using the Samsung SmartThings environment, the most popular smart home platform which offers support for tons of devices and – of course – the Rental Home Automator app.
