Aeotec Smart Home Hub (SmartThings)

Aeotec Smart Home Hub (SmartThings) (SmartThings) — a Matter controller, Zigbee (built-in), Z-Wave (built-in). It can directly pair 9,530 of the 9,530 devices in this database.

MSRP: $134.99

The Aeotec Smart Home Hub is the standalone SmartThings hub with the widest radio coverage in the lineup: Zigbee, Z-Wave, and Matter controller support in one box. It has no Thread radio, so Matter-over-Thread devices need a separate border router on the network. SmartThings retired its legacy Groovy drivers; most mainstream Zigbee and Z-Wave devices have Edge drivers, but niche devices may pair with reduced features.
