Change Smartthings cloud to Smartthing Fog computing?

(Võ Thanh Minh) #1

Cloud will be load in the future
Smarthome will be active when no internet connection

#2

It may happen sometime, but Samsung has not announced any plans in that direction.

If you are interested in something very similar to smartthings ( but from a very small company) which does operate locally without Internet, and you have a good technical background, you can take a look at Hubitat. A number of community members are now using both, getting the local operation from Hubitat. But it’s a very new product and rapidly evolving, so right now it’s essentially still in beta, one reason that you do need a strong technical background for it at this time.

Perfectly stated.

This is the setup that I recommend as well. The extra $100 you pay for the Hubitat Hub is worth it IMHO.

YMMV
