Ring Base Station
The Ring base station is one of those hubs that’s completely necessary for what it does. In my Homey Pro experiment, it was firmly in the “can’t go anywhere” category. This is a good reminder that some hubs aren’t just about connectivity—they’re core to the system’s purpose.
Pros
- +Central component for Ring’s security ecosystem
- +Purpose-built for alarm and security reliability
Cons
- -Not realistically replaceable by a universal hub in many setups
- -Adds to hub count if you’re trying to minimize hardware
