Description of Yandex hub for devices

Yandex Universal Hub for easy and quick connection of various devices to a smart home with Alice. And a single point of control for all devices. With the Hub, a smart home can do more. Fill it with sensors and lots of other Zigbee devices. The hub will connect them to Yandex Station, and you will control your smart home through the application or by voice. Connect Yandex sensors with Zigbee to the Hub directly, combine them with other smart home devices and set scenarios. Many processes will become automated. The Hub connects via Wi-Fi to light bulbs, kettles, vacuum cleaners and thousands of other devices from different manufacturers. The Hub is also a 360° smart remote control. Even if you have a simple TV or air conditioner at home, connect them to the Hub using an IR connection and control it without a remote control. Through the House with Alice application or through the speaker by voice: "Alice, turn on the TV"

Type of review

I took a hub + Aqara climate sensor in order to maintain the desired temperature in the warehouse, where the presence of people is irregular, and high temperatures are highly undesirable. I set up two scenarios for turning on / off the air conditioner with a delta of 1 degree: 24-25 C. For an incomplete week, the schedule shows three failures of the scenarios, two for OFF and one for ON. Unpleasant, you have to regularly monitor this moment. In the scenario settings, it is possible to select…

Pros
  • Stylish appearance. Hub + IR remote. It is more convenient to control the air conditioner than with native remotes.
Cons
  • The shortcomings are connected, apparently, with the software.

There are deviations, generally tolerable.

Those support replied that they put it on the priority of adding, but to be honest, this is most likely an excuse. The consoles, in principle, became attached to all kinds of TVs and receivers, not bad, so I had to tinker with the split, but I set it up. In my opinion, this hub is not so much a hub, but more like a simple IR sensor with a Zigbee network, and it should cost, like simple IR sensors, at least five times cheaper. So far this is my conclusion. Maybe if support can significantly…

Pros
  • I took it in the forefront because of Zigbee, since there are many devices operating on this protocol and there are no good hubs for them.
Cons
  • Few supported devices on Zigbee. Commands sometimes take a very long time to complete. And this despite the fact that I tied not so many devices to the hub.

No complaints, I recommend the product for purchase.

The hub of a different manufacturer was my favorite because it could function as a backlight in a variety of colors, and it simply plugged into an outlet without requiring any additional wires or adapters. With its positives being: A speedy connection between the hub itself and the sensors (temperature, water leakage) that are attached to it. Got cons: When I am configuring scenarios, after selecting a signal and clicking to listen to the signal, the hub does not produce any audible feedback…

A good product, I advise you to try it.

I recommend to buy, the product is of high quality.

Good hub, my first. I haven’t had time to appreciate it yet, but I’ll immediately notice from the minuses: as a TV remote control via the IR port on my Sony TV, there is no way to control the function buttons. those. there is no way to fully manage smart TV and, for example, make a script to open YouTube. If you file an auto-running application for watching TV on the TV, then it works as expected.

Pros
  • Design, easy setup
Cons
  • Functionality

Unsatisfactory quality, I won't buy it anymore.

As a prototype - a good development. As a commercial smart home system, it is of no interest. I had to sell on ebay on the first day after purchase. Has pros: They made the hub as a separate device. There are sms and push notifications in scripts. Got cons: "Local scripts" do not work without the Internet. Even "local scripts" work with a big lag. Zigby button + lamp = second lag. The list of supported devices is extremely limited. There is no local interaction with the most popular yeelight…

A good product, but having its own defects.

I really liked the hub of another manufacturer, which was stuck (without wires and adapters) into an outlet and could play the role of a multi-colored backlight. Pros: Quick connection of the hub itself and sensors (climate, leakage) to it. Has some cons: When setting up scenarios, I select a signal, I click to listen to the signal, the hub does not make a sound. It turns out that when setting up the signals, the sound comes from the phone. When the scripts are triggered, as expected, the sound

I was surprised by the quality for this price.

I took it instead of the IR remote and for the Max speaker to start studying Zigby. It was very easy to set up, everything connected quickly, even better than on the IR remote control. I am very satisfied with the purchase, we will study!

Pros
  • Good design, easy to set up and everything is clear
Cons
  • No

Not worth the money, I will not advise this product.

Complete set, box, device quality - all for solid 5 stars. has learned how to "package" its products and continues to use successful solutions. There are no questions about unpacking and the first touch. Everything is set up quickly, clearly and “pleasantly” in terms of usability. A good product, I do not mind that I overpaid, and did not buy analogues. As I connect zigby devices, I will supplement the review. ate: I'm lowering my rating. Only the AKAra module was able to connect via Zigby…

Pros
  • cool design Easy to connect Good IR remote settings
Cons
  • itself sells cheaper on other sites, you can save from 500 to 1000. If I knew, I didn’t buy it on the market, but took it in another store, it’s very disappointing)))

Great quality, did not expect at all for the price.

I couldn’t set up the TV remote control in manual mode (I didn’t catch the volume up button), but when I looked among the ready-made options, I found the right company. The main functions of the TV now work with voice. Previously, I could not turn on TV from the column, now I can :) We are waiting for more advanced integration with the functions of smart technology. Pros below: Easy connection if you already use the Smart Home system. No manipulations were required to connect the hub and the…

Looks great on the outside. There are no complaints at work. Its pros: Remote control and hub 2 in one. True, now the smart remote has removed the box. In terms of speed, the teams will work, I perfectly did not see the difference with the hub, or simply through the column. Its cons: Reviewed on May 11, after operation since the launch of sales. The smart remote control built into the hub works disgustingly (almost dead), in parallel you have to use the old separate smart remote control, since

Connected to the system instantly. I was pleasantly surprised that Aqara temperature sensors for Mainland China easily connected to this hub. Plus connection in detailed and convenient statistics on temperature (for sensors). But the Aqara Magic cube for China could not be connected, it does not see because of the region. The Xiaomi Mi Smart Power Strip Wi-Fi extender is connected only through the MiHome application, it can be seen in the Smart Home and can be controlled, you can set up…

Pros
  • Ease of connection, the ability to connect both via Wi-Fi and Ethernet, IR remote control mode, response speed, Zigbee 3.0.
Cons
  • I would like to have more support for Bluetooth-devices. Does not support Aqara devices for Mainland China. Poor functionality of the Smart Home application.

The goods are normal, money is not wasted!

Bought in general under the import substitution program) In general, everything works, the response is no worse than mihome. But bluetooth devices (temperature sensors, door sensors, spots, etc.) cannot be thrown out of the house, and as a result, you still cannot refuse the xiaomi hub. And the Smart Home application is far from the same mihome in terms of functionality. Trite in scenarios, you cannot select two conditions. Let's hope for further improvements in the functionality of the smart…

Pros
  • Fast connection, easy setup. Devices declared by the manufacturer are supported and connected without problems.
Cons
  • No support for BLE devices
