    Basic smart home hub with all the features you really need. The hardware is great however the software can be frustrating at best.

    I hated that I had to buy this to connect my Samsung devices but I had not choice. The app takes a bit to load and collect device info but overall I think it’s nice. I use wink and this one now.

    Great hub. Much better than the wink I threw out. Works well with lights, dimmers, door lock, Alexa, thermostat, and smart outlet. Fantastic support team for detailed requests.

    I was able to utilize this Smart Things App with some Smart Light Features that was built into my home & didn’t utilize for 3 years! Connects easily & hub recognizes everything!

    Does it's job

    For what I needed this for. It does it's job. I've noticed it keeps either going offline or it's not connected to my devices 100% of the time...therefore, not as accurate as I'd like. The app for this is actually quite crappy. The classic version of the app is much more user friendly and gives the details that I'd like (doorlock entry times).

    Works great with smart things devices can be a little tricky with other devices. I would get on the website and see if your devices are compatible before you buy.

    Switch from my Wink to this Samsung. After having it for a few months I couldn’t be happier. Easy switch from my Wink to the Samsung hub using my existing GE zwave switches.

    Samsung could have a great "Thing" going but their app is horrible and takes too long to set up each device.

    Light weight and works very well. However, the setup you have to move it closer to the devices. Then goods well in a central location.

    Had to Replace my home automation hub. It was iris by Lowe’s home improvement. This one seems to work even better and was an easy replacement. Still works with most of my outlets and switches.

    Too complicated, not enough device support.

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

    unnecessarily complicated, doesn't support enough devices (especially Zigbee) without searching for user-provided driver's, doesn't have a very easy to use browser interface, and just isn't easy to use in a mixed environment. I gave up and returned it after finding out that too many of my devices would work after trying to switch from Wink. I bought a Hubitat Elevation and have loved since.

    Needs Improving

    Tried the Samsung setup before switching over to the Google Nest ecosystem. The pairing of devices was a bit of a challenge (for some, not all) and the interface needs some work. It just felt incomplete. I switched to Google Nest and would recommend Google over Samsung. Samsung makes great phones but has some work to do to catch up in the Smart Home category. It feels as clunky as Samsung's smart assistant Bixby did when it was first released.

    This Smartthings hub is just a component in a system. After buying this, I realized I had to also buy a Philips Hue hub to connect LED lighting strips.
