Customers are enthusiastic about the SmartThings Home Monitoring Kit for its easy setup, home automation capabilities, compatibility with other brands, and affordable price. Many customers appreciate the expandable nature of the kit and the reliability of the motion sensor. However, some users have expressed concerns about the app's usability, occasional false alarms, and battery life of the wireless devices.

This system is easy to configure with simple, thorough instructions, very good and prompt tech support and is highly expandable with add-on modules from the same brand as well as many others. I've used a number of other non-Samsung modules with it and they all seem to be working very well.

Been wanting something decent, without having to pay a monthly subscription. When first linking the power doorlock, and switches around the house, there was a bit or retrying to get them to connect. After connecting, everything has worked flawlessly. The accessories that come with this kit aren't the greatest, and we don't use them. However, other fixtures that we've purchased are fanastic with this hub. Pretty awesome pulling into the driveway at night and having the outdoor lights turn on and the front door unlocking automatically.

This system works well with a variety of reasonably priced options. I did find a bug (known issue) with the mobile app and the Samsung Galaxy phone but that is really the only problem. I was hoping for a little longer range on the motion detectors but I think that overall the system performs very well for the price. I like the ease of use and the wide range of partners.
