What we love

If you home is anything like mine, you strive to make it as smart as possible, but there’s still a device or two that doesn’t play ball. For me, it’s electric fireplaces. Luckily, they can be toggled on and off using infrared, and this hub can learn to transmit those signals using Siri, Google Assistant, and Alexa. It also paves acts as a hub for the rest of Aqara’s smart home devices, and I am personally a huge fan of the brand.
