    Works well with KwikSet locks and Zwave
    Works well with KwikSet locks and Zwave. Home Assistant on raspberrypi stopped working. I tried to get it to work again but it wasn’t the same as before. I tried this Zwave hub and everything works as expected. This hub runs off the Samsung SmartThings app. Automation for auto lock works too. External access works too. Guest access codes works as well.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Schlage locks can be a pain, but tech support gave the simple solution.
    Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2022
    Verified Purchase
    I bought this hub to talk to two Schlage Z-Wave locks that are in the house we just bought. After banging my head against the wall trying to get them to sync, I wrote to Aeotec support saying I may need to return the hub to Amazon. They replied within an hour, stating:

    Sorry you’re having issues. Unfortunately Schlage locks have been a bit notorious with connection, especially if they existed before you added your home hub or if they were connected to another smart home device previously. Factory reset does not REALLY reset the Schlage locks. We encourage you to attempt the following steps to see if you can get the lock paired.

    1) In your SmartThings app find the Hub in your Devices and then select the icon to open the device page for the hub.
    2) Open the three dot menu in the upper right corner of the hub device page
    3) Choose z-wave utilities
    4) Choose Z-wave exclusion (this puts the hub into exclude mode)
    5) Follow the instructions on your Schlage lock to include/exclude from a Zwave network (typically this is the same process)
    6) you should see a confirmation on the app the device has been excluded
    7) factory reset your Schlage (just for good measure)
    8) restart the hub
    8) pair the lock to the hub following the normal pairing procedure

    After doing the above, everything worked perfectly. I didn't even have to factory reset the locks. I could even sync to the locks by just scanning for devices in the SmartThings app. After getting this to work so easily, I highly recommend. (I also recommend Aeotec include this instruction list in their documentation directly. 😉)

    Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2023
    Verified Purchase
    This hub has been the best solution I've found for the many z-wave outlets and receptacles I've had in place for a number of years. Although it's a bear to install. Some of our outlets are on our flat roof controlling floodlights around the house so I have to run an ethernet cable up there to add the components to the hub. Now, it just died on me. Can't tell if it failed all on it's own or we are in monsoon season so lots of lighting strikes around and we had some power blips and possible surges recently. Nothing else among all our electronics died so I'm blaming Aeotec failure. Should have lasted much longer

    5.0 out of 5 stars It works very well with Bali Blinds
    Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2023
    Verified Purchase
    My primary goal was to automate my Bali blinds, and after a frustrating experience with the Vera EzloAtom. There's not much information on Bali blinds automation on internet or even their manual. Only thing I knew was it's working with Zwave. I was hesitating to get Aeotec because of the price but I should've purchased earlier rather than struggling with Vera to work for long time - it was such a wasting time!

    The Aeotec Smart Home Hub has exceeded my expectations, providing a seamless and frustration-free smart home experience. The ease of setup, reliable integration with Google Assistant, and compatibility with various smart devices make it a standout choice for anyone looking to elevate their home automation. I am now not just satisfied but extremely happy with the enhanced control and efficiency that the Aeotec hub brings to my smart home.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Cloud-Dependent Junk
    Reviewed in the United States on July 5, 2023
    Verified Purchase
    I had originally purchased this as a means of getting my feet wet on my journey to upgrade my newly purchased home into a smart home. After almost a solid week of research, this product seemed like the all-in-one package. It supported both Z-Wave, Zigbee, and Matter, meaning I wouldn't have to have separate hubs for each protocol. Aeotec was given the IP rights for SmartThings, so that was a big green flag to pull the trigger on this company as I figured that meant it was at least reputable and proceeded with my purchase.

    The intent was to set up this device with HomeAssistant. The product description *heavily* implies that this product works locally, only needing WAN access for setup stating - and I quote - "Requires internet access for set-up: Ethernet connection recommended, but Wi-Fi is also available."
    There is also a question asking if it is cloud dependent in the Q&A with Aeotec themselves stating - again, I quote - "This hub is currently cloud dependent, but will become local-dependent in the near future through firmware updates." back in 2021. I had assumed that given the current product decription saying it only needed internet for setup, in addition to SmartThings Edge drivers, meant I could finally have local control, but alas this is not the case. As soon as I pulled my WAN cord to simulate an outage, I could no longer control my devices via the SmartThings App even still connected to the same WIFI as the hub via Ethernet. It outright refused to work and the app said my hub was offline. Home automation still should - in theory - work, but since I only have smart switches and lights, setting up automations was outside the realm of possibilities with my current hardware. This also meant that I had no way of integrating SmartThings with HomeAssistant to control it locally either.

    So why does this matter if the device works as intended without an internet connection? Well for starters, I value my privacy and dont want my devices phoning home constantly. I also dont like giving companies the ability to brick my hardware at the drop of the hat. A company called Insteon shut down back in 2022. Their service relied entirely on the cloud infrastructure to function (just like SmartThings). Once the company shut down it then effectively turned every single one of their IoT products into a paperweight and completely worthless. On the other hand, we have companies like Amazon shutting down user's accounts and devices (Including his IoT security system) for false claims of racism by a delivery driver. With all of this happening in the IoT/Smarthome ecosystem, I refuse to give any company control of my devices and my hardware - and so should you.

    If you disagree with that sentiment and instead want only cloud-enabled devices for your smart home, then by all means treat this review as a 5-star review. The product worked fine - albeit not as advertised.

    Lo instalé en la sala y el control recibe las señales de dispositivos en mismo nivel de la casa, no he probado el alcance para un segudundo o tercer piso. Hasta ahora funciona según lo esperado. El único detalle que creo lo especifica en manual, que no funciona sin internet.

    I had the 1st generation SmartThings hub and purchased this for new home. Works well and SmartThings app has come a long way in the past 3 years. In addition many of the Z-Wave devices have also improved greatly. I have used SmartThings to automate many things in my home (door locks, inside and outside lights, garage door). eg. Light inside the house by garage turns on for 10 minutes (then turns off) when the garage door opens. Light inside garage turns of when motion is detected and lights turn off automatically after 10 minutes (in case I forget). The possibilities are endless. Installing devices with the app can be frustrating and time consuming and is the hardest part. Once installed, scenes and automations are easy to create. Before purchasing an add-on device, make sure it is compatible with SmartThings and check reviews. Some work better than others.
