Hub vs Hub LR
-
Hi, I own the Hub (not LR) and just wanted to ask about the differences compared to the LR version as I couldn't find anywhere the comparison.
The regular version seems to be lacking 5GHz support and Homekit.. are these the only differences?

@beachb_sl the buttons communicate using Bluetooth, not wifi. May I ask you where you have read that they use wifi?
Bluetooth Long Range is a feature introduced in Bluetooth 5.0 (also called Coded PHY) which uses error correcting codes so that the receiver can restore the packet content even if a few bits are lost.

@Emil thanks. Can you please explain more about this? The buttons are communicating via wifi so I’m not sure I understand what this means. Do they change protocols? Is it an optional mode?

@beachb_sl yes and of course the main difference that gives the name to Hub LR: Bluetooth Long Range.
