Global Smart Hubs Market Definition

The Internet of Things (IoT) connects smart home devices such as lights, locks, security cameras, doorbells, and thermostats which are easy to use with the help of installation these gadgets can be used in the homes, but still in some cases some sort of mechanism is needed to control them. If multiple products or services are in use, there might need for a home automation hub to control everything and these smart hub devices are used to control that. A smart hub is a hardware device that is used to connect the devices on a home automation network and controls communications.

Many hubs use ZigBee or Z-Wave protocol that operates via wireless radio frequencies (RF) to create a mesh network of devices and can communicate with other devices such as smartphones hence the availability of all these hubs is fueling the growth of the Smart Hubs Market. Smart home hubs offer control of smart home products which operate on the same frequency as the hub is operating. Devices that are controlled by the home's Wi-Fi may not need a hub because they use the same protocol to operate but if not then an app like IFTTT which is a free platform that allows connecting with different apps. Some hubs such as the Wink Hub 2 and the Samsung Smart Things Hub support multiple protocols along with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, and Z-Wave. Wink Hub 2 even supports upcoming Internet-based protocols.
