    So many possibilities with this kit. You can start with this and slowly expand to new devices that work with this. It works with Amazon Echo also. It is easy to setup and use.

    The sensors provided are junk. Poorly made and already falling apart. They have been installed for 1 week, often loose connection to the gym and already reporting battery or 77 percent. Great hub? Good software integration capabilities, terrible sensors that should cost $1 each

    I like the fact that I was able to put back in service devices I already had from another provider. I was very impressed with the quality of the support group for SmartThings as I was getting set up. I'm having an issue with the detection of my mobile device from time to time but have not isolated it to the SmartThings product. I know that ISP and device issues can always play a role there. I'll start looking into that when I have the time.

    Easy to setup. Great coverage in the house. Easy to add devices to it and there are a lot of supported devices out there. Also have been able to add non-supported devices easily.

    Easy set-up. Replaced my old Insteon hub which lost it's mind during my last move. Integrates well with Amazon Echo. Very cool controlling attached devices using my voice.

    This device makes home automation simple and easy. So far I have a water sensor, the home monitoring kit, and a deadbolt connected to smartthings. No problems at all.

    The senors and hub work good. The app is terrible. If the smartthings app is improved, this should be a better product.

    We have greatly appreciated the customizable nature of SmartThings, but because it is capable of SO much and integrates with so many other smart home devices, it took us a bit of trial and error to get settings exactly how we wanted them. It also took a little googling to figure out how to accomplish a few tasks. But overall the information is out there and the system works very well.
