Welcome to The Thinking Home: Hardware Hub, the official community forum for discussing the physical components that power a truly intelligent home.

This space was created to dive deeper into the hardware that makes a private, reliable, and sovereign smart home possible. This is the place to:

Discuss Hubs & Coordinators: Share your experiences with Home Assistant, Hubitat, Zigbee2MQTT, Z-Wave JS, and other platforms that enable local control.

Review Devices & Sensors: Offer your honest feedback on everything from smart switches and bulbs to motion sensors and environmental monitors.

Ask for Recommendations: Get community feedback before a reader makes their next hardware purchase.

Troubleshoot Issues: Work together to solve hardware-related challenges.

The goal is to build a community-driven knowledge base focused on hardware that respects the user and aligns with the principles of Intelligent Sovereignty.
