Shop E Store Samsung’s Smart Home Hub 2 is on sale and is designed to be the center of a connected home. It works like a SmartThings Hub, so setup should be quick, even if you’re new to using smart gear. The goal is to get your devices to talk to each other and automate everyday tasks with minimal effort.
According to Samsung, the Hub 2 supports Matter and is Zigbee certified, which helps different brands work well together. It works with iOS and Android and the onboarding flow is optimized; therefore, you can get started in less than a minute. Sync it with Wi Fi, open the SmartThings app, and start adding lights, plugs, sensors, thermostats, cameras, and more from hundreds of brands.
Once everything is connected, you can create routines that activate at the right time. That could mean lights turn on when a door sensor is activated, a thermostat adjusts when you leave, or a camera starts recording when motion is detected. Control is via the SmartThings app whether you’re at home or away, and voice control is available if you prefer to go hands-free. The entire setup is meant to look like a single command center rather than a mess of separate apps.
The hardware itself is compact with a clean design, so it matches a shelf or media stand. The wireless setup keeps cables to a minimum and the quick-start approach is aimed at beginners who want results without a long learning curve.
If you’re wondering what a hub actually does, think of it as the brain that allows devices to speak the same language. With Smart Home Hub 2, Samsung cites support for more than 3,200 devices through the SmartThings app. That scale makes it easier to add new devices gradually rather than buying them all at once.
