Yes, it looks pretty cool and interesting.

But you would have to see if it really can replace these other hubs.

For instance, do you still need the Philips Hue Hub and if not, can you still use the Philips Hue app and all the other third party apps or do you just end up getting locked into the Homey app only?

Also if you use this instead of the Philips Hue hub, will Hue still work with GHome, Alexa, etc.

cant see it replacing your hue hub....
Looks like just another hub to me. Apparently there are issues with Z-Wave range and the voice recognition accuracy looks pretty poor
