Which smart home hub is best? Which smart home system should you buy? Probably none of them! Whether you own Samsung Smartthings or Philips Hue or Hive this is the end of your Smart Home hub! Since the latest Amazon Echo now has a built in Zigbee hub Amazon have crushed the smart home market. Amazon's Alexa routines are now so powerful that smart home devices such as Wifi motion sensors and Zigbee door sensors will both work directly with Alexa without the need of a Smart Home hub such as Philips Hue or Samsung Smartthings.
Philips Hue and Samsung Smartthings will soon be a thing of the past as Amazon release new Echo products and include built in Zigbee functionality into every device. The Google Nest hub isn't a hub at all, and Google Zigbee hubs simply don't exist. This was a mistake and Google have lost the Smart home race.
Connected Home Over IP is on the horizon, and is further evidence that the industry is moving back to a hubless Wifi Smart Home. Philips Hue and Samsung will almost certainly begin to manufacturer Smart home devices to work with the Amazon Echo directly and will abandon the smart home hub altogether and it's going to happen sooner than you think.
