Meet Your Hub

The SmartThings Hub acts as the bridge between all of your connected SmartThings
and the Internet. In brief, it does a few things:



Connects to SmartThings – The SmartThings Hub speaks a few different
languages. ZigBee, Zwave, IP and more. Depending on what SmartT hings
you have in your world, the SmartThings Hub basically acts as a universal
interpreter.



Connects to the Internet – Once plugged into your Internet router via the
enclosed Ethernet cable, the SmartThings Hub automatically makes a secur e
connection to the Internet and the SmartThings Cloud.

 Passes Events and Commands – When one of your connected SmartThings

has a message (for instance motion was detected or a door opened) or you
or an installed SmartApp have an instruction for a SmartThing (turn on a
light), and SmartThings hub will be responsible for sending that message
along securely.

Getting Around

The good news is that your SmartThings Hub does all the heavy lifting for you, and
it’s pretty simple. No buttons to worry about. (INSERT IMAGE WITH LABELS)
