    Has potential but very disappointed in using. For some items/routines you need to use the original app while others work with newer app. Still needs a few kinks worked out to make it more user friendly.

    I was hoping this would pick up most of my smart home devices and make it a central control location. I've got over 30 smart devices throughout my home and the setup wasn't as easy as I had anticipated.

    SmartThings is great for a new installation but is difficult if you are replacing another brand (wink etc). App does not give clear instructions for those of us who are not tech geeks.

    A lot of server error and offline messages causing the smart things app to be fairly worthless. Customer service was minimal help beside telling me to change areas in my house to place the hub.

    Mostly good. Disappointed that Samsung might be removing the ability to access the IDE website. That has been so handy. Not worth buying if that really goes away.

    I purchased this because I wanted to extend my wifi mesh system (Samsung Connect Home) The SmartThings hub will connect smartthings devices but not extend your wifi.

    It can create duplicates if you already have other smart devices set up in your home, it’s doubled some of my devices in my Google Display, other than that seems fine so far.
