I assume that by “1-wire hub” you are referring to a device that allows you to 
access several distinct physical 1-wire busses as a single logical bus. I think 
the hub as a point in which a single 1-wire bus “transparently” branches out 
into several physical distinct busses.

In some cases you do not need a hub, because if you connect multiple bus 
masters to a single owserver host, the “root” view will show you all devices 
found under the different busses:

/26.xxx
/26.yyy
/bus.0/26.xxx
/bus.1/26.yyy

In my opinion you need a 1-wire hub only if the physical location at which the 
different 1-wire buses branch is far from the location at which your owserver 
host is located, but again with the availability of low-cost single board 
computers, it could be easier to place an owserver host at the branching 
location.

This said, iButtonLink sells the linkhube: 
https://www.ibuttonlink.com/products/linkhube 
<https://www.ibuttonlink.com/products/linkhube> (which is a bit expensive, in 
my opinion.)

The unipi product does not seem to be a “1-wire hub” in the sense defined 
above, as already noted by Jan.
