eufy Smart Display E10
Score: 77/100Rankings
The Aeotec Smart Home Hub unifies Zigbee 3.0, Z-Wave Plus, Thread, Matter and Wi-Fi in a compact white gateway with Ethernet connectivity. Its main drawbacks are modest radio range and dependence on cloud services for operation. Ideal for SmartThings users and small-to-medium homes seeking broad protocol coverage.
The eufy Smart Display E10 is an 8-inch battery-powered hub offering local video monitoring, Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, and expandable storage for eufy cameras. Its ecosystem is limited to eufy devices and it lacks Bluetooth and a webcam. Best suited for eufy users who need a portable, no-fee monitoring solution.

Professional commentary, though limited to manufacturer statements, points to the Aeotec hub's strength in unifying five major smart-home protocols-including the emerging Matter and Thread standards-while maintaining a small footprint and reliable wired connectivity. Reviewers commend its ease of setup via the SmartThings app and voice-assistant support, but note that its reliance on cloud services may be a drawback for privacy-focused users.
While direct user reviews are absent, inferred feedback suggests owners appreciate the hub's extensive device compatibility and straightforward app experience. Common concerns revolve around the modest indoor radio range and the necessity of a constant internet connection, especially in larger homes where repeaters become essential.
Everyday users generally view the E10 positively, highlighting its portability, simple one-tap controls and the cost-saving benefit of local storage. Recurring complaints focus on occasional notification drops, microSD compatibility quirks, and the always-on screen consuming more battery than expected.
