    I recently switched hub from another hub that all of the sudden was going to charge a monthly fee... I am so glad I did! It was very easy to set up and after resetting my smart lights all my smart devises work with it.

    We have two of these - one in each home. Water sensors connect fine, however we do lose connectivity at times with our Schlage lock. Likely the lock not the hub itself.

    Cool 'New' Technology, BUT

    Great, new technology for having a smart home. There are few competitive systems. The hub was easy to set up. Even the Samsung SmartThings devices where almost impossible to connect to the hub. I almost packaged the entire thing up and returned it, had I not spent so much time and money trying to get it to work. When everything worked, it's great. As things get off-line, it's not worth the work to get the system back in working order. I'm not convinced that other manufacturer systems are better. Checked 'would recommend' because there wasn't a 'might' option.

    Bought the hub because of research this hub kept coming up as the best of the bunch and most versatile with non-Samsung devices. Combined with Google Home it's pretty nice. Just wish there were more camera's that were available.

    We got this to replace a different brand that was dropping the service. I love most of the features. I'm not a fan of the way the app works. I've learned to get along with it though.

    I use this to connect most of my home automation products.. wish it was able to connect to EVERYTHING, so only have a few things to setup using other apps. So far it’s been good to setup some switches and other things I have purchased.

    I use the Samsung Hub to control my smart outlets and my ecobee 3 lite thermostat. I was surprised to find out I can even use it when I'm not connected to my wifi. It works well and controlling it with the smartthings app is very convenient.

    Bought this for my sister, who had to move to an unfamiliar city. The Geek Squad set it up and has worked flawlessly since. She can see her apartment from her phone while she's away. Reasonable price as well.

    I added some home automation to my house. Before I had another brand and it was laggy etc. in my new house I did smartthings. This hub responds quickly. When I hit the device on the app it responds right away. Would buy again.

    Automation made easy

    I had several Z wave devices from different manufacturers in my home, and I was looking for a good hub to consolidate them into one app. I’m a bit of a techie, so setting up and pairing items to the SmartThings hub was quite easy. The App requires you to create a free Samsung account, and it’s very user friendly. The best part is that it works with Google Home, so it makes controlling all of my devices much easier. If I’m away from my cellphone, I can just tell the speaker to turn on my lights or to set the thermostat to a certain temperature.

    This brings my whole house together finally! It completely automated my whole home. After buying the additional sensors which I recommend they’re completely customizable. Every setting is up to u. And I love it!

    We’re just starting to make our home “smart” & the Samsung SmartThings Hub made it very easy to begin. We’ve been able to link our outside lights so far & helps with security when traveling.
