Livicom Smart Home
Hub settings screen in the app
There are no other differences between Livi Smart Hub and Livi Smart Hub 2G: their functions and operating procedures are the same so they have the same нub settings screen in the app.
The hub is designed to combine up to 256 Livi radio devices into a single ecosystem of the Livicom smart home. The hub receives data from wireless sensors, controls endpoint devices (automatically when running scripts or by transmitting user commands), transfers data about Livicom smart home to the Livicom cloud server and alerts users in case of alarms at the site.
The hub settings are the same for Livi Smart Hub and Livi Smart Hub 2G. Both hubs use mobile networks and wired internet to exchange data with the cloud server, support automation scripts and they can send alarm alerts simultaneously to the Livicom server and to the security company.

Livi Smart Hub and Livi Smart Hub 2G differ by two factors: a supported cellular standard (2.5G or 3G) and a battery life (15 hours or 12 hours).
