I have a single hub too, it's called 'me'. The TV has a switch on it that allows me to change the channel (also has a remote control), volume colour settings etc, the thermostat on the wall enables me to set the heating for set times and manually adjust if required, my stereo, like the tv has buttons on it (and a remote control available - never use it as can't get it to turn the records over) to select the required option, be it CD, radio or tape or turntable. I don't have a soundbar, so maybe that's why I don't understand the need for these single hub thingies that from my limited understanding is just a lazy option from turning, tuning, setting electrical items that have a manual options available. Happy to be advised as to what benefits these things offer.

NOW I understand! It keeps your hands free for 'other things'.

I love this clip. The Mrs has left one my kitchen. Convinced she's listening in on me while she's away for the week. Useful if you're too lazy to get your smart phone out of your pocket. Which I am.

Something for the paranoids out there to consider...your Echo is always listening...and Amazon keeps the recordings.
