Hubspace serves as the central control application for Afero's ecosystem of smart home products, positioning itself as an accessible entry point into home automation. The app enables users to configure and manage connected devices through an organized interface that groups products by room and property, providing a structured approach to smart home management. The application's core functionality encompasses comprehensive device controls including on/off toggles, light color temperature adjustments, fan speed regulation, and product grouping capabilities. Scheduling features allow for automated operation based on time or sunrise/sunset triggers, while integration with Google Assistant and Alexa enables voice control compatibility. The remote access functionality ensures users can monitor and adjust devices from any location with internet connectivity. User experience demonstrates generally intuitive navigation with straightforward device setup processes, though some scheduling implementation issues have been reported. The interface employs a clean, card-based design that clearly displays device status and controls. Real-world usage patterns show particular strength in power strip automation and lighting control scenarios, with users frequently employing scheduled operations for energy management and convenience. User feedback trends indicate strong satisfaction with core functionality, as evidenced by Bryan Leib's July 2025 review praising the app's flexibility for video studio lighting and Joshua O'Silas's June 2025 appreciation of timer functionality and Alexa integration. However, Justin Eltoft's June 2025 review noted initial scheduling inconsistencies, suggesting potential reliability concerns in automated operations despite overall positive experiences with manual controls. The application demonstrates notable strengths in affordability and ease of use for basic automation tasks, though occasional scheduling reliability issues may require troubleshooting. Ideal use cases include budget-conscious smart home setups, specialized applications like aquarium automation (as mentioned by Jason in July 2025), and scenarios requiring grouped device control without premium automation platform costs.
