#1 · Smart home devices

Aeotec Smart Home Hub, Works as a SmartThings Hub, Z-Wave, Zigbee, Matter Gateway, Compatible with Alexa, Google Assistant, WiFi

$149.99 · 8.2/10

This hub supports Z-Wave, Zigbee, and Matter, providing broad hardware flexibility that avoids single-protocol dead ends. While it operates on the SmartThings ecosystem—which still utilizes the cloud for certain functions—its multi-radio design allows local device-to-device communication. It is a sensible middle ground for mixed-brand accessory setups.

#2 · Smart home devices

Aeotec Smart Home Hub2 - V4, Works as a SmartThings Hub, Zigbee, Matter Gateway, Compatible with Alexa, Google Assistant, WiFi (No Z-Wave)

$129.99 · 7.4/10

This revision of the Aeotec hub drops Z-Wave hardware in favor of a lower $129.99 price point focusing solely on Zigbee and Matter. While suitable for modern builds, removing Z-Wave makes it incompatible with many existing security sensors and locks. Check your accessory inventory thoroughly to verify that Zigbee and Matter cover all your target devices.
