    Never really worked with any ease. Takes a lot effort and forethought and still never really lived up to the hype.

    Is a communication problem between the Hub and the switches. They need to solve this problem before you buy it

    I had high hopes for this, however, I wasn't able to connect to the Internet. I checked the website help pages, and no luck. I liked the battery backup and small profile. I returned it and bought a Wink2 that connected right away. It seems like SmartThing didn't like the setup on my Asus RT-AC87U router, or defective product. I'll never know.

    I returned this because it was impossible to hook up my Z wave locks and thermostats. I spent hours on the phone with customer support but never got them to work. It was supposed to work with any Z Wave lock or item. It probably works with Samsung locks and security items but not other manufactures items.

    Stay away - "Device unavailable"

    Multiple Samsung devices randomly shown as "device unavailable". To make matter worse, you don't even receive a warning when that happens, you will have to check the app to find out. Google "Samsung device unavailable" and you will see a long list of customers having the same issue.

    Took me a bit to get it hooked to wifi. It never did see my thermostat and switches. Returned it and hooked up vera and tech support was better than Samsung to get me going. Worth a try but just not for me I guess.

    Compatibility, Ease of use

    Rated 5 out of 5 stars

    Easy setup

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This product did everything it promised and I was able to add "things" that worked against several of the communications protocols of this hub. This includes Hue bulbs, Nest thermostat with a customer API, MyQ garage door opener and a Samsung camera. The mobile app is easy to use and relatively straight forward to set up customer routines and lighting controls.
