This hub is for the garage only. You can link to other devises but does not work with a lot of smart brands. This uses Google assistant. So if you use Google products it should work with what works w assistant. I use Google home for nest inside cameras for my dogs and that has a nest app or Google app the Google app will allow you to use other brands to connect too like I have Lorex outside cameras 11 of them that connect to Google home but say a Honeywell thermostat might not but a nest one would. There are always ways to configure things that may work or may not if you are disabled I would stick to one main product line that offers lights, thermostat etc. Or you will have multiple apps for multiple devices. This does require to be mounted at the top of garage door and on a wall. And then it's run off Wi-Fi. You can open door for someone coming over without having to go to door with there app and allows prime members to have packages put inside garage they get a one time code on delivery. I would say start with what is most important that you need weather it be lights, thermostat and work from the most important feature your looking for and add to that brand the rest of house. And read reviews from different sources like nest thermostats don't have good reviews I have 2 different camera systems nest for inside 3 of them to watch my dogs so I don't care so much on those but my outside I have Lorex which are high grade but I wouldn't buy a nest thermostat or lock. Hope that helps and call best buy they will have a rep come to your home and go over everything you want and can put something together for you for everything and you can just buy piece by piece and do yourself or have them install it but they do charge for that but the reps are good w products I had them do whole inside for ceiling speakers music from room to room and home entertainment to camera system and washer dryer etc. All I need is them to fold and put away. But there is a unit to fold cloths now too!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If you mean by smart you can give voice commands then you will need an Amazon echo for example. If you mean can you open and close the garage door with your cell phone then this device is fantastic for the price.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This smart hub only controls the garage door. To open or close the garage door using this "smart hub" you'll have to download the myQ app (Android or iOS) to your phone. There is some integration you can do with Google assistant where you can use Google assistant to close the garage door but it won't open it due to security reasons. If you are looking for a Smart Hub to control devices in your Home the Samsung Smart things Hub is a popular one that can control a wide range of devices from lights, locks, thermostats, etc.
I would recommend:
