now trying to get rid of costs by selling it to Aeotec(?)

Incorrect. Samsung has licensed out the manufacturing/selling of the SmartThings hardware. So far, Aeotec is the only announced partner. The SmartThings platform of software and the cloud is still maintained by Samsung SmartThings.

An Update Regarding our Hardware

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 hardware. We are expanding our partnership with Aeotec to work with our European market and will share more information when available. Please stay tuned to our official channels for future announcements.
