Which is the best Z-Wave hub or gateway?

There are two 'best' options for a Z-Wave gateway hub to automate your home. If you're looking for a gateway that works out of the box and is simple to set up (albeit, not without system customisation limitations), Aeotec Smart Home Hub (https://www.zwaveproducts.com/products/aeotec-smart-home-hub-works-as-a-smartthings-hub-z-wave-zigbee-gateway-compatible-with-alexa-google-assistant-wifi) is your best option. If you want to build your own gateway that operates locally and privately, you should use Atrim Stick (https://www.zwaveproducts.com/products/atrim-stick-800-series-z-wave-home-assistant) and Home Assistant which matches open-source software with 800 series Z-Wave Plus.
