hub or app? all I see is an app

Looks like just an app to control wi-fi devices. Wow, what a concept! This will die a long slow death. lol

Blue tooth and wifi device support looks like.. but I believe you are right in that it looks to only be an app.

…Hubspace was designed to be a simple, reliable, and responsible way to bring products from The Home Depot’s proprietary brands such as Hampton Bay, EcoSmart, and other product lines into Smart Home. Hubspace-connected products provide customers with a high-quality user experience to control products in the Hubspace app, once products are connected to the Hubspace platform it offers the ability to seamlessly integrate their products with third-party platforms in the fastest easiest way possible…

…Hubspace was created to make the convenience and sustainability benefits of Smart Home products available to anyone with a smart device and an internet connection – with no hub necessary and at an affordable price…

Fixed the thread title.

Huh, well, this is actually a pretty darn slick move buy HD - proving an ecosystem (I use that term very loosely here lol) for the various smart products they sell will almost certainly boost sales and adoption for them among the totally-new-to-smart-home crowd.

It's a shrewd move, I'll give 'em that!

Didn't Lowes already prove this is a bad idea?
