A Hills Home Hub is a central distribution unit designed to neatly manage and organise the wiring and connections within a modern home. It acts as the brain of your home’s communications and entertainment systems, providing a modular and scalable platform for distributing internet, phone, TV, and audio signals to different rooms. Installed during construction or major renovations, the hub helps future-proof your home by keeping technology tidy, centralised, and easy to upgrade as your needs evolve.

Getting Started – Identify What You Have
The first step in understanding your Hills Home Hub is to open the cabinet and look for the model number and name printed on each installed module. Most components will have a clear label or code on the front or side. Once you’ve noted these, you can match them to the descriptions in this guide to learn what each module does and how it fits into your home’s system. Taking a clear photo of the inside of your hub can also help if you need further support or want to reference it later.

• Hills Home Hubs come in various sizes, but the key difference is whether they are Pre-2025 or Post-2025:
  Pre-2025: These have a ‘Hills Home Hub’ label and no perforations for airflow.
• Post-2025: These have no label but include perforations for ventilation.

Why it matters:
Helps identify your hub type for compatibility with parts and keys.

Identifying your hub can determine whether keys are still available:
– If your hub has perforations (Post-2025), we can supply replacement keys.
– If it does NOT have perforations (Pre-2025), keys are no longer available.

To open a Pre-2025 hub: insert a flat-blade screwdriver into the keyhole and turn with firm pressure to break the
barrel open. You can then replace the camlock via a locksmith or DIY from Bunnings.

Why it matters:
Enables access and secure closure when original keys are missing or unavailable.

4-Way Passive Splitter — SKU: S2126

When distributing your TV signal to multiple rooms through the Hills Home Hub, you’ll have either an active or passive splitter module. While they perform a similar function—sending the antenna signal to multiple TV points—they operate differently and are suited to different setups:

Passive TV Splitters

A passive splitter simply splits the antenna signal into multiple outputs without any amplification. It doesn’t require power and is typically more compact. These work well in smaller homes or setups with short cable runs and strong signal strength. However, because the signal is divided across all the outputs, each connected TV point may receive a weaker signal, which can result in poor reception or picture quality—especially if the original signal isn’t very strong to begin with.

Active TV Splitters

An active splitter includes a built-in amplifier that boosts the antenna signal before distributing it to each TV outlet. This ensures that every TV point receives a strong, consistent signal, even in larger homes or when using long cable runs. Active splitters require power—usually supplied via the hub’s power supply or a dedicated power adapter. They are ideal when you want the best possible picture quality on every TV, regardless of distance from the antenna.

Which One Do I Have?

Look at your TV splitter module inside the hub:

• If it has a power connection or LED indicator, it’s likely an active splitter.
• If it’s a simple, unpowered block with coaxial ports, it’s a passive splitter.

Why It Matters

Choosing the right splitter affects your home’s TV viewing experience. Active splitters are more reliable in maintaining signal strength across multiple rooms, while passive splitters are a budget-friendly option for basic setups.

25W (S2267) – Replacement Hub Power Supply (For hubs with NO Music Module)
60W (S2121) – Replacement Hub Power Supply (For hubs with the Music Module)

Why it matters:
Provides essential power to all hub modules.
Choose the correct supply depending on whether a
music system is installed.

These modules are no longer available.

Any standard network switch can be cable-tied into the hub in its place.

In new installations, we recommend using a POE (Power Over Ethernet) switch to power compatible network
devices.

Why it matters:
Ensures all Ethernet points in your home can connect through a modern, effective switch setup.

Music Distribution

The Music Room Manager is the heart of the multi-room audio system once available with the Hills Home Hub. Designed to sit neatly inside your hub enclosure, this module allowed homeowners to distribute music from up to four central audio sources (like a CD player, radio, media server, or streaming device) to as many as eight different rooms or zones throughout the house.

Each zone could be controlled individually using on-wall keypads or touch panels, allowing you to:

• Select your preferred audio source (e.g., radio in the kitchen, a playlist in the lounge).

• Adjust volume levels room by room.

• Connect local devices via auxiliary input (like plugging in a phone or MP3 player at the wall plate).

Why it matters:
Maintains or restores your ability to control multi-room music if components are still functional.

The Music Module that installs into the hub (HDV-IRR) is no longer available. If faulty, try taking it to a local
electronics repair shop for assessment.

On-wall music controllers are still available from our website.

Although the alarm system and home hub are both Hills-branded, they are separate systems.

Why it matters:
We only provide support for the Hills Home Hub.
The Hills Reliance Alarm system may be wired through the hub, but it is serviced and supported by specialist
alarm technicians.

Note: Hills security products were sold to different companies and are no longer linked to the Home Hub team. We
specialise in Bosch alarm systems for security.
