Smart Hub FAQs
What's the difference between a smart hub and a voice assistant?
A smart hub is designed to connect and control your smart devices, acting as a central control center. A voice assistant (Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant) is an AI system that responds to voice commands, performs various tasks, and provides information. You can sync your voice assistant to your smart hub, but the two serve different functions.
Is a smart hub the same thing as a bridge?
A bridge acts as a translator between devices, so they can communicate with each other. It allows devices on one protocol to communicate with devices on another protocol. A smart hub, on the other hand, connects the devices so that they can be controlled and managed from one device.
Does a smart hub need Wi-Fi?
Your smart hub may need Wi-Fi to communicate with your smartphone or receive updates. However, the Aqara hubs use Zigbee to communicate locally with the smart devices in your home, and this network doesn't need a Wi-Fi connection.
How do smart home hubs connect to devices?
Smart home hubs use protocols such as Zigbee and Wi-Fi to connect with smart devices.
Do all smart devices require a smart home hub?
No, not all smart devices require a smart home hub. You can control some smart devices directly through their mobile apps. However, if you want to create one centralized control system, an Aqara smart home hub lets you do that.
Can I control my smart home hub remotely?
