g. , microphone for capturing audio, and output devices e. g. , speaker for outputting audio. In some implementations, the cameras 118 are each configured to operate in a day mode and in a low light mode e. g. , ZigBee, Z Wave, Insteon, Bluetooth, Wi Fi and other radio communication networks. In some implementations, the hub device 180 and devices coupled with/to the hub device can be controlled and/or interacted with via an application running on a smart phone, household controller, laptop, tablet computer, game console or similar electronic device. In some implementations, a user of such controller application can view status of the hub device or coupled smart devices, configure the hub device to interoperate with smart devices newly introduced to the home network, commission new smart devices, and adjust or view settings of connected smart devices, etc. In some implementations the hub device extends capabilities of low capability smart device to match capabilities of the highly capable smart devices of the same type, integrates functionality of multiple different device types—even across different communication protocols, and is configured to streamline adding of new devices and commissioning of the hub device. In some implementations, hub device 180 further includes a local storage device for storing data related to, or output by, smart devices of smart home environment 100.
