Our Verdict

The Hub2 V4 is Aeotec's pivot toward Matter — and that pivot removes Z-Wave entirely. At $129.99, it is $20 cheaper than the V3 ($149.99) but supports only Zigbee and Matter. With just 30 Amazon reviews at launch, real-world reliability and integration data is thin. The case for buying it over the V3: if you have no Z-Wave devices and never plan to buy any, you are paying $20 less for a hub aligned with where the Matter standard is heading. The case against: 30 reviews versus the V3's 2,126 means early adopters accept integration risk that V3 owners absorbed over several years. The Aqara M200 at $69.99 covers the same Zigbee, Thread, and Matter protocols with 266 reviews, adds PoE wired power and an IR blaster, and costs $60 less — a harder value argument to dismiss. Right buy for: buyers with zero Z-Wave devices who specifically want the Aeotec ecosystem and are willing to accept early-adopter risk given the low review count.
