You know the feeling . . . when you’re driving to the airport for that much awaited vacation and the thought hits you “did I lock the door?” Or, you’ve just snuggled down deep in your warm bed, and you hear a noise “do I need to worry about intruders?”  Or, you’re going from room to room getting chores done, or in the computer room and you want to hear your favorite streaming music, but the sound just doesn’t quite transport to all the places you are in your home.

 Hive Hub offers Automation at your fingertips – it allows you to connect easily and control lights, locks, electronics, and other smart devices from one convenient place. Hive Hub is compatible with most connectivity standards including, Z-wave, Zigbee, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Honeywell and 2gig. You can sync everything together and it’s ultra easy to install.

Hive Hub offers Entertainment and Convenience with it the unique wireless home audio that will fill your home with music. The incredible speakers also offer auditory and visual notifications of what’s happening in your home.
