“Hello, Home” is just the smartthings terminology for their event log. It never was speech processing. It’s just a page in the official mobile app that lists the things that are happening with your system in what is supposed to be a friendly “conversational” style. It now appears under the “notifications” tab in the official mobile app:
" hello Home actions" was the original term for what are now called “routines.” again, nothing to do with speech processing.
So in order to have voice control you either have to have an echo or some other device that does process speech. You can do it somewhat with anything that can send a voice text to IFTTT. Or another voice processor like an android phone, UBI, etc. But there’s nothing built into the SmartThings hub itself to process voice commands.
