Solved! Do I need a smart home hub?

[al9107]

When do I need to get a smart hub like a smart things or harmony hub? I know I can set routines on these hubs but I can already do that on my smart display/google home - is there a difference?

The Harmony Hub allows you to control any device that the Harmony can control. Their IR database is huge. Way more that just the Google.
You may also need a specific hub for devices like Samsung appliances or lighting systems.

Thanks! Are the hubs controlling my devices based on proximity or wifi - meaning to say, do I need more than one hub in the house? Also, can I pair more than one hub to my smart display at once?
