Hub2 API changes?

[bobfrankston]

Now that hub2 is here I’d like to be able to control my house locally. Are there new APIs and/or a way to run my app locally? If not then what does hub2 give me?

There have been some backend changes but nothing specific to V2.

Currently only certain non custom device types (some switches) and the SmartThings Smart Lighting smart app can run locally. Lots of info on V2 and whatnot already posted.

Local Processing in Hub V2

Continuing the discussion from What's the deal with Nest?: Correct. I was answering this question below in the global sense. i.e., There will always be the possibility of various benefits available to Official Device Handlers and SmartApps that are not available to un-certified Community Developed ones. At the moment, the local processing benefit is inapplicable to Nest in either case. I’m not sure ST has guaranteed that community developed SmartApps/Device Types will be included in local processing right after certification. Yes, it may be included down the road, and this is not yet clear on how or what the process is to enable community developed stuffs to run locally.
