This is the fourth episode of GearBrain's series on "How to Build a Smart Home".  This episode focuses on the role of the smart home connected hub.  These devices are the foundation and controllers of your smart home.  They come in all shapes and sizes as well as work on different wireless  protocols.  We explore all the things you need to know about hubs before you buy one and set it up in your new smart home.  

This podcast will help you learn about the five different types of hubs which help control your smart home and help you save money on your energy and water bills.  

You can use The GearBrain, our new compatibility to help you find a smart home hub that is compatible with your existing smart devices.  It's free and easy to use.  And if you can't find it, let us know and we will find the smart device for you within 24 hours, if not sooner.
