While you compose your smart home system, you should keep the function of your smart products in mind. In this article, we'll see what you can do with a smart hub per room.

• In the living room
• In the bedroom

The most important place for a smart home hub is the living room. This is where you'll lay down on the couch. It's convenient to be able to switch off the lights without having to get up. With a Chromecast, you can turn off the television using voice commands. You'll no longer need a remote because of this. And when you have guests over, you can have your guests choose music via your smart speakers.

With a hub in the bedroom, you'll no longer have to think about your alarm. Set up a routine via the app of your smart hub. The hub will perform multiple tasks when you tell the hub you're going to bed. The hub will make sure all the appliances are turned off, it can read your first appointment out loud, for tell you for what time your alarm has been set. The hub will play an audio book for 10 minutes, so you can fall asleep without worries.

You're often using your hands in the kitchen. You can tell your smart hub to set a timer, so you'll know when to put the potatoes in the oven. The hub can also read recipes out loud when you ask it to. Or ask the hub how to cut onions without crying.

You can set timers with your smart hub during your working day, so you'll know when it's time to get up or take a break. You'll say productive for longer that way. Choose a smart speaker for this room. That way, you can have the hub play your favorite playlists and adjust the lighting in the room. As a result, you can stay focused on your work.

When you give the first task to your hub, it'll know you're home. Hubs with a display will know the moment you walk past the device thanks to motion sensor. Your lights will switch on right after you come home because of this. Set your thermostat to turn off automatically when you leave your house.
