What is a Smart Hub?
The Smart Hub is a device that serves as a central control point for your smart home devices. It is usually connected to the internet and uses wireless communication protocols such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Zigbee to communicate with other smart devices, such as smart lights, thermostats, security cameras, and more.
The smart hub can be controlled through a smartphone application, a web interface, or even through voice commands using a virtual assistant such as Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant. It can also automate actions based on user preferences, such as turning on lights when someone enters a room or adjusting the thermostat according to the time of day.
One of the advantages of using it is that it allows for easier control and automation of multiple devices from a single workspace.
Overall, a Smart Hub can help simplify the management of a "smart home" and enhance the user experience.

As for Alexa, it has its good and bad points.
On the plus side, it plays Netflix with built-in application, etc.
Overall, a decent choice.Translated from Greek ·- Construction quality

Did you find this review helpful? Disappointment.
-1 does not recognize the doorbell camera (which is why I bought it).
-1 removed two blueprint routines that I had set up.
-1 reminders only work upon arrival.
-/+ 1 removed voice stations (can only be done through the mobile app). Sound quality is very good. Good for photo presentations. Drop-in feature is useful because of the camera. Since I have the Echo Dot 4, which is simply useful in a different dimension (for me).
Otherwise, as an implementation, the Echo Dot listens better and has minimal lag (doesn't understand what you're saying). Both devices connected easily and recognized all the other smart peripherals I had.
My enthusiasm for the Echo Dot led me to purchase this gadget. I don't easily give negative reviews, it's just not what I expected.
I also contacted the company through the peripherals (they never responded), while the company that has the smart home integration skill responded within an hour, suggesting 10 solutions and sending two confirmation messages about the progress of the issue.
A bit lengthy, but I wanted to share my experience. ALEXA is worth it (I recommend it), while this particular peripheral (perhaps due to limitations in the region) is NOT...Translated from Greek ·- Construction quality

Did you find this review helpful? 4 .... because Amazon has written us where you know ... it does not support Greek. On the other hand ... the device is perfect. If you set the initial settings to the address of the United States or Spain or England ... you can also see Netflix, which is integrated. But the weather ... it will not be for Greece. If you want, you can add your own photos for the background ... like an electronic photo frame. It has very satisfactory bass for music streaming ... I also added Greek radio skills ... and Christmas songs ... and the room is filled with music. I haven't tried video calls. Otherwise, it controls my devices with voice. I don't have a smart camera, I haven't tried it ... I will have an update.
UPDATE: ... I activated and called the echo show from my mobile phone ... and now I have video calls with my other house, either from my mobile or from another echo device ... it is also used as a surveillance camera with a tilt from the mobile phone !!!!!!! ... I also activated the sound function ... that is, if it hears a strange sound when I'm away (glass breaking ...), it sends a notification ... !!!!!

It is the evolution of Alexa. Now, whatever Alexa tells you, it also shows you in pictures and not only. Connect to YouTube and Facebook, where it stays constantly connected and can show you the news and everything related when it is in standby mode. What can I say about this device, it is truly a masterpiece and it has amazed me. You can watch news from all over the world from the channels you want (International). It has a touch screen, so you can also call it a fixed tablet. Good music quality for such a device and picture. You can make video calls with your mobile phone to someone at home. Whoever is an Alexa Nerd, it is exactly what they need. I am also looking forward to the other Amazon Echo devices because they have really done a very good job on their subject. Especially for a Smart house and if you have cameras on the front doors and doorbells because the device shows you the image instantly, but also for Smart bulbs and anything Smart
