Hub-Based vs. Wi-Fi Systems
The Sengled Smart Home Hub offers advantages over direct Wi-Fi connections for smart devices, particularly in larger setups.
| Feature | Hub Based | Wi-Fi |
|---|---|---|
| Coverage | One Hub per household | Depend on router |
| Quantity of bulb | 64 | Depend on router |
| Portfolio expandability/interaction | Easy | Complicate |
