You can think of a smart home hub as the brains behind your entire Alexa, Google Assistant, or Siri-powered ecosystem. Sometimes a hub can be as simple as a smart speaker, but maybe you prefer having a handful of controls at your fingertips. That’s where a smart display, such as the Amazon Echo Show or Google Nest Hub Max, comes into play. Not only do these interactive touchscreens give you up-to-date news and weather reports, but features like automated daily reminders, and smart home widgets can be customized in just a few taps.
