Samsung has officially launched the Aeo tec Smart Home Hub 2 in the United States for $119.99, delivering a next generation hub that combines enhanced performance, broader device compatibility, and a compact design suitable for any smart home setup.
Powerful Hardware and Expanded Device Support
The Smart Home Hub 2 features a 900MHz CPU with 70% faster processing power and doubled 512MB RAM, enabling seamless control of up to 150 Zigbee devices and more than 1,000 Matter certified devices from 270+ brands simultaneously. These hardware improvements ensure complex automations execute quickly and reliably across large device networks without lag or delays.
Compact Design with Flexible Installation
One standout feature is the hub’s 50% smaller footprint at just 95mm x 95mm x 25mm, making it easy to place discreetly throughout your home. The device includes a wall mount kit for flexible installation, modern USBC power connectivity, and a USBA expansion port for future accessories. It supports both Wi-Fi (dual band 2.4GHz and 5GHz) and Ethernet connections, giving users flexibility in network setup.
Leader in Matter Adoption and Multi Protocol Support
The Smart Home Hub 2 stands out as a leader in Matter adoption, consistently receiving new Matter features faster than competitors like Amazon, Apple, and Google. The hub supports Matter, Thread, and Zigbee 3.0 protocols, creating a unified platform bridging devices from different manufacturers.
As a Thread Border Router, the hub enables two way Thread network unification, allowing it to join existing Thread networks or permit third party border routers to join through QR codes. Notably, it’s the first hub with confirmed Matter camera support, opening new possibilities for smart home security integration. The hub does not support Z Wave devices, representing Samsung’s strategic focus on newer standards.
Local First Processing for Privacy and Reliability
A significant architectural improvement is the emphasis on local first communication and processing. Rather than routing all commands through cloud servers, the hub prioritizes local connections to execute automations directly on the device. This approach delivers faster response times, enhanced privacy protection, and continued operation even if internet connectivity is lost—ensuring critical automations like lighting and security continue functioning offline.
Advanced Automation and Safety Features
The Smart Home Hub 2 includes adaptive climate control that adjusts thermostats based on occupancy detection, optimizing comfort while reducing energy waste. Energy monitoring provides detailed insights into power consumption from high usage appliances, helping identify energy hungry devices and create routines that take advantage of off peak rates.
Safety features include Home Monitor functionality with air quality monitoring, water leak detection, and smoke alarm support. Realtime alerts notify homeowners immediately of potential hazards, enabling rapid response to prevent damage
Seamless Setup and Voice Integration
Setup is streamlined through QR code onboarding in under one minute. The hub supports Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Samsung Bixby, enabling handsfree control across your preferred voice assistant platform.
Commercial Compatibility
The hub supports SmartThings Pro for business and commercial deployments, making it suitable for multifamily homes, apartments, hotels, and offices requiring centralized device management and energy efficiency.
Availability and Pricing
The Aeo tec Smart Home Hub 2 is available exclusively through Samsung.com at $119.99, with flexible financing options at $10 monthly for 12 months. This competitive pricing makes it an attractive choice for both newcomers and experienced users upgrading to the latest smart home technology.
