We’re excited to announce the release of Samsung SmartThings Hub firmware version 0.29.8. Once downloaded, your Hub will briefly go offline as it reboots and applies the update; most customers will experience less than one minute of downtime. We will update the status page when the release is complete.
Hub Target:
Samsung SmartThings Hub 2015 (Hub v2)
Samsung SmartThings Hub 2018 (Hub v3)
Release Date: 03 March 2020 ~ 05 March 2020 Note that this release will be spread over a few days, so you may not see your Hub update the first day of the release period. We will post on this thread once all users should have received the update.
Release Notes:
Features
Reduce DHCP retry interval to improve the likelihood of initial IP assignment
Firmware update for the Aurora Battery Powered Wireless Switch
Stability and performance improvements
Expose select mesh diagnostic info in IDE
Fixes
Fixed issue with updating WiFi credentials via SoftAP on Hub V3
Fixed an issue that prompted the mobile app to display a security related warning after adding a Z-Wave S2 device
Security patches to kernel and other software packages
Finally!!! Hopefully this diagnostic information will grow to be enough for users to fully troubleshoot connectivity issues in their zwave/zigbee mesh networks.
@SmartThings – Would it be possible to get an official answer about the status of FW updates for the ADT hub? It sure would be nice to get all those general improvements instead of being stuck back at version 20.x…
@ahndee, @mustbdoug - If you search around the community forum regarding ADT, you can see that it depends on ADT when they will release a firmware update, and as far as I could see from comments and communication between ADT and ADT panel users, it is most likely an EOL product.
I heard the rumors but — considering that the ADT Hub was first available at the end of October 2017, well after the v2 hub which still receives updates — all the ADT users would probably appreciate an official statement from @SmartThings if that product is indeed dead.
Paul_DeFeo attached my last response above but after talking with Smartthings support the last time about this what I got is they do not control the firmware on the ADT hubs. The entire thing is supported update wise on the ADT end. Basically smartthings sends them the updated firmware and ADT should be pushing the update but you see the boat that we are in. There hasn’t been an update for over a year. Currently I have been experimenting with moving as much as I can to the connect home wifi hubs that I enabled. (2 active smartthings hubs at the same location, I have the ADT hub and the Connect Home. This is not recommend by Samsung). So far haven’t really seen any issues. Also have been heavily working on home assistant since extremely customizable and now has an integrated smartthings connection. I could see myself moving to it and just porting the alarm status and sensors over until it stops working.
@David_Van, it is an ADT product at the end. It is like blaming Google, that Samsung hasn’t updated your Galaxy S7 with Android 10. Or blaming Amazon for selling you a Nvidia Shield and Nvidia Connect dongle.
The Nvidia Connect is the same story, the Hub firmware is built into the firmware of the Nvidia Shield. Nvidia hasn’t released an update with a newer Hub firmware.
Edit: These rants about the ADT products come up with every firmware update release. The release notes are clearly list that this is a firmware update for v2 and v3 Hubs. I don’t understand why people are only posting these questions here, why not on the ADT community forum. Oh, because ADT hasn’t got any community forum… So here is a link for all of you , ADT users to reach out to ADT and ask about when your ADT panel will have a SmartThings firmware update:
