Announcement | SmartThings Edge for Devices and Automations

Last year, we told you that we are transitioning to an API-first SmartThings Platform. As a part of this, we started investing deeply in improving stability and security. Today we are announcing the beta release of SmartThings Edge - a new architecture for Hubs that use Device Drivers and Rules to execute Hub Connected devices with lower latency, higher reliability, and… local execution.

SmartThings Edge uses Lua© based Device Drivers and our Rules API to control and automate devices connected directly with a SmartThings Hub.
