The wink hub 2, on the other hand, is supported by multiple countries. These devices can then communicate with you to offer you home. These Hubs will instantly connect to different sensors, locks, light switches, outlets, thermostats, and other compatible devices in your home. One downside of owning a SmartThings hub is the region locking you can’t use it outside of the US. There are several different versions of the SmartThings Hubs, and Wi-Fi Hubs (with SmartThings built-in). There’re having teething problems which hopefully will be fixed soon.
Overall it’s simple but powerful, Unlike the new SmartThings App. The Wink App has the best interface, it’s functional and simple to use, even for a beginner. So if you’re using Nest units you’ll want to go for the Wink unit, Nest is supported as are a few other brands that you can’t find with SmartThings. Which means you have more options, unless you’re already using Nest products, SmartThings doesn’t integrate with Nest, which would leave your system useless. They can support up to 200 devices, will the wink hub 2 is only compatible with 130. SmartThings edge themselves forward with the amount of compatible devices. There have been rumors of being able to add a battery port, but it’s all just speculation. Something that doesn’t appear on the Wink hub 2. Although you shouldn’t hold your breath as yet, the USB slot can not be used. One noticeable difference is the USB port on the back of the SmartThings hub. The Wink app works nicely, although the response time is slower than SmartThings I’m not sure if this the app or the smart hub. Luckily after the installation, you can return to the older version. The new SmartThings App leaves little to be desired it still has a lot of teething problems that need to be addressed. I’ve personally used mine to turn off lights, lock the door, and adjust the volume of my sound system.īoth devices use a mobile App to control your devices, granted they are both different, but hey, they both need them. This enables you to control your devices with the sound of your voice. They can be integrated with voice control units they both support Google Home and Alexa. Or maybe your morning alarm goes, which triggers your shower to start running.īoth hubs support the popular ZigBee and Z-wave protocols, so if you’re using either of these systems, you’ll be okay with either hub. Imagine walking up to your door, and as you press the button to let you in, the lights turn on.
