The “unlimited data retention” feature was released today and costs $5/month. This lets you use SmartThings like a “black-box” to capture what has happened in your home, something that can be really useful for energy monitoring or analyzing how your home is being utilized. Plus, you can view all of this data in visualizations like dashboards, waveforms, etc. on your laptop or mobile devices.
