Samsung - SmartThings Hub - White

Purchased awhile back, was waiting to move to a new place. We have it up and running. So far no real hiccups, just our local internet provider causing problems twice so far. When that happened I got a notification right away, so that part works. I connected kitchen, dining room, bedroom, loft and office lights. All work flawlessly. I even bought a switch to plug in my dollar store mr. Coffee. It's set up to start at 6 am with kitchen and living room lights turned low. Love it. Next I want to setup my front door lock. SmartThings setup was real easy, and adding bulbs and zwave stuff is fool proof. Love it. I even hooked it up with Alexa, real seamless.

Easy set up. Plug-and-play and ready to go out of the box. Staff at my local store recommended this to work with my Phillips hue products.

I purchased the SmartThings Hub in order to integrate control of all devices through one app & hopefully eliminate several hubs. Unfortunately, many of my devices are not recognized by the SmartThings Hub: BAS Haiku Connected Fans & Lights, Baldwin exterior locks, vintage Z-Wave switches, iDevices, just to name a few. This Hub works well & performs as claimed. You should simply be aware that there are many devices which it cannot recognize or control. It is well built & is an attractive hub. I added it to my "Hub Collection", as shown in photo & recommend it for your hub collection.

Simple setup, works like it should. Compatible with everything.

I purchased the SmartThings hub to work with my zigbee-controlled light bulbs (from Sengled) and Amazon Echo. The hub is fairly easy to setup, but after that the hub drops connection with the bulbs frequently (showing "device unavailable"). After calling both Sengled and Samsung, I learned from Samsung representative that thee hub's zigbee signal has interference with Wi-Fi signal and therefore the hub must be placed far away from your Wi-Fi router (my router only broadcasts at 2.4G, not 5G). After relocating the hub, the drop connection problem never appeared again. But if you don't like a long Ethernet cable between your router and the hub, think before you buy.

Excellent entry level hub handling multiple wireless options. Easy cell phone setup. Bought a second one for a family member.

Coupled with the latest update my smart hub controls almost everything in my house seamlessly! Easy to set up and use especially with IFTT. Now I no longer have to worry about if I locked the door, if fire fighters can get into my house (the smoke alarm triggers the doors to unlock when they go off!) if they need to, or if the house is to cold or hot. The smart things hub seriously manages the nest thermometer, philips hue lights, the outlets, doors, alarms...etc and automatically starts and stops actions depending on if I'm home or away. The integration with Amazon Echo is great and I can use voice commands to control my zwave devices. I'm glad I upgraded from the v1 to this one. It seems more powerful and easier to use. Highly recommend!

I love this item and it has opened my mind to a lot more options within connected home. This item is compatible with smart home items (cameras, sockets, switches, etc. ) from other manufacturers which is great because you do not have to re-equip your home all at once. This item is compatible with google voice and Alexa which is a game changer. Easy to use and overall very satisfied
