AduroSmart ERIA Smart Home Hub/Gateway, Compatible with ZigBee Lighting/Sensors/Plugs/Thermostats/Locks, Works with ERIA APP/Alexa/Google Assistant/Apple Shortcuts

This is a great hub that I started using with my Osram Lightify lights. It's what all of us smart home junkies dread....a company like Osram shuts down their cloud and leaves you with a product that won't work with Google Home anymore. I saw that I just needed a Zigbee-compatible hub, like this beauty, in order to get these lights working with Google again...and it worked perfect!

It took a bit to connect. Mainly finding it in the search. Now it's good, but I have had to reset it due to the lights getting froze in a sync mode. Turned out I had to reset the whole hub to rsync and then add them again. I do wish that google had more integration with these so I didn't have to use 2 apps to change colors or routines. It does work with voice and it does the job for the most part as long as its synced. I go weeks it seems without using my lights bc its automated to voice, but a change in routine...like peeing in the middle of the night seems to not always work. The lights, not me peeing.Update...this hub sucks. I've resyced it 20 times maybe. The lights never sync now to the hub. It has to be reset everytime. I have a cheap hub for bilulbs. Guess what? It doesnt stop working. Ever.and I've had since last christmas. Also, syncing to google home...idk if that is a real thing anymore. Reality is now blurred for me and smart devices are at war in my house when I'm not home. This hub loses everytime I think. It is the weakest link in smart tech. The picture is from my lights getting stuck in a certain color mode right after making a deal with a light elf to get them to work and my hub not go out. ( didnt lose much in the deal, he needed a sander. Hes moving to the Woodlands with his cousins so...)

Beware: this unit must be connected by wire to your ethernet network for the initial configuration. Perhaps this fact is buried in the description but it came as a shock to me since I only have wifi. I managed to rig a reverse bridge and get it working but this is a lousy design. The instructions for Alexa are also poor but I managed to get this working too. Much more work than it should have been.

I've ordered zigbee device(blinds), planned to automate it avoiding opening and closing every morning and night. What I discovered was a lack of zigbee compatible hub. I was told to use Samsung SmarThing, but it was nowhere to be found. After going thru back and forth between buying and returning of many so-called zigbee hubs because none of them really worked for me, I ended up with AduroSmart ERIA Zigbee Home Hub/Gateway and walla! it discovers my device! Now I do not have to worry about opening and closing my blinds every single day, but just schedule it on aduro smart app! I love it! I hope this lasts long time. 5 star all the way and strongly recommend for anyone looking for zigbee-compatible hub.-=-=-=-=-=-Re-writing a review and giving it a 4 star instead of 5 because, not all blinds work, every time it misses 2 or 3 blinds, sometimes 4. (I have 9 of them, all in the same flr). I instead started using "Moes Tuya Zigbee 3.0 Hub Gateway" which works perfectly.

The product works good for the most part. I occasionally have an issue with the device/smart bulb disconnecting from my wifi network. I also occasionally have an issue with the device/smart bulb not responding through the Alexa integration. All in all it is not bad. Hopefully they work out all the kinks.

The app was buggy. It could be more user friendly. It didn't come with instructions. I ended up returning it because it wasn't fully compatible with all certified ZigBee devices. I think you'll be okay if you only use AduroSmart devices, but there's no guarantee with anything else and that may limit you.

Took a little bit to get it to link up to the alexa device but probably because I had a wink hub before this one, I like the app it's simple to use and really like the size of this compared to wink, would recommend to anyone.

It would be nice to evaluate the device but, you can't because the app for the device does not work on an Android phone (Samsung S7). The applications installs on my phone but will not allow the creation of an account. In fact the I AGREE selection after reading the TOS (Terms of Service) does nothing. Nothing at all. Since there is no web interface and no other method of configuring the hub, it's a paper-weight.I contacted their tech support. Their response was:Response from Support:Good Morning George,I received your message, We are aware of an issue and have identified it as a UI error with Samsung phones we have a fix being rolled out that will be live globally by Monday at the latest. I apologize for the inconvenience.Kind Regards,Jordan CarsonAduro Technologies LLC153 W. Rosecrans Ave Suite 02Gardena, CA 90248Nothing has changed. The app has not been updated and continues not to work at all.My recommendation is NOT to purchase this item. Why would any respectable company release an app and not test it on the most popular Android phones. I'm packaging mine for return tonight as I do not want a device that cannot be used.
