What smart hubs from Google are compatible with Smartblinds?
To connect Smartblinds directly to Google Home, you need a Google smart hub that supports Thread, such as the Google Nest Hub (2nd gen), Nest Hub Max, Nest Wi‑Fi Pro, or the Google TV Streamer (4K). These act as Thread border routers for reliable communication between Smartblinds and Google Home. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
