We’ve been following the comments on the Community regarding SmartThings hardware and wanted to help clarify some information on this matter. Earlier this year, we highlighted plans to enlist companies that are leaders in the smart home / automation space to manufacture and distribute SmartThings h…

[image] marcmale: Smartthings hub is dead… Any intelligent people switch to Hubitat C7 hub!!! Different systems will work for different people, but while Samsung is no longer going to sell or support a Smartthings branded hub, they have entered into a partnership with Aeotec, and at least in …

[image] Ryan7777: Never got a code for a discounted hub. Same thing happened to me, but you can get it from support (with a little patience): Message support@smartthings.com using the email associated with the hub. Explain that you never got the code. Include a picture of the v1 hub (includi…
