Control your home from your phone and voice
With the smart home concept being pushed by big brands, it has never been so popular a time to transform your house into a smart home. Numerous devices and appliances are available to the consumer market, from smart plugs to smart appliances. And the cost of these devices has become increasingly practical and affordable.
The hardest part of your transformation is knowing which products are compatible with your hub or if you require specific apps to run them.
