if i purchase c8 pro hub only without any subscriptions, will alexa skill work?
will i be able issue voice commands to control devices with alexa, just like on smartthings?
does app allow to controll devices remotely if i do not have any subscriptions?
i do not neet remotely administer hub, only need turn on heaters or lights in advance, from work while i am not on home lan
and final issue: are you planing anytime soon to correct physical design? so hub is white, has ceiling mounting bracket and poe?
Alexa will work without any subscriptions. If you put a device into a dashboard the mobile app (or a browser) can control the device remotely as long as the hub has an active cloud connection. POE not on the horizon as far as anything that has been made public, and color, there have been no public discussions.
If the hub has a cloud connection and you add the devices to the favorites section of the mobile app you can control them without a dashboard or subscription. The favorites kinda takes place of a dashboard for just basic features if you so choose to use it.
Only the shipping is different. On mainland Amazon does our shipping for us, but they won't do it to Hawaii or Alaska, so we fulfill it ourselves from Arizona by USPS.
The hub for Hawaii is the US version hub, with same Z-Wave frequency.
I've been thinking the same thing. My reason is the Hub being black and my router being white may be causing some issues. I would feel better if they were the same.
I’m sure it will be some time after Silicon Labs announces their new zwave 900 series chip. Considering 800 series was announced 2021 the 900 series is likely a few years off.
considering your stated use case is:
what do you feel is missing from the current hub selection that might prevent you from doing all of this right now?
Ventilation holes can be drilled on the side of the base to allow heat to escape.
RP-SMA short extension cables can be used to mount antennas outside of case, and you could buy white antennas at correct frequencies.
Z-Wave is 900 MHz and Zigbee is 2400 MHz

The POE adapter I would suggest you search the forum for one that other users have had good luck with, some POE adapters cause issues with Hubitat radios operation.
