  • Primarily a hardware company, so the app exists to run devices you have bought
  • Zigbee devices depend on the hub remaining supported

TrainHeroic

  • Free trial limited to 14 days without credit card, but conversion to paid mandatory thereafter
  • No published feature differentiation by plan tier; all features appear consistent across price tiers
