I would not call it v4 but rather 3.x. There are a few existing threads on ST licensing out the hub and sensors to other companies. Aeotec is the first to offer the products (hub and sensors) for the EU market. ![EmqVeVGXIAMxLPP](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/smartthings/original/3X/4/d/4ddf05162b4e49beaf5d1e574afdacd585771f43.jpeg) ---

Official announcement. As @jkp said, for now it just appears to be a rebranded version of the existing model. > [@An Update Regarding our Hardware](https://community.smartthings.com/t/an-update-regarding-our-hardware/208259/): > > 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. ---

Cool! thanks for sharing. 🕶 What’s the model number? Also can we see a picture of the back of the box? (You can block off the serial number or any identifying information), I just want to see the logos.) ---

Yes, of course 🙂 M/N: IM6001 - V3P22 3 more photos: ![6_IMG_0867](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/smartthings/original/3X/7/a/7a12a7e1c4d1347aee17222a7493aef1cfdd5a77.jpeg) ![7_IMG_0867](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/smartthings/original/3X/4/6/468d3c034063326872266e56abd866ccbc34cf49.jpeg) ![8_IMG_0867](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/smartthings/original/3X/e/6/e6cc244ef5d5ee3027f1d1b4caab36c5f3ebe807.jpeg) ---

Thanks! OK, it’s using the same model number as the Samsung SmartThings V3 hub for the EU frequency, so it looks like it’s just a new logo on the case. And they got their Zigbee certification posted: > **[Aeotec Smart Home Hub - Zigbee Alliance](https://zigbeealliance.org/zigbee_products/smart-home-hub/)** ---

SmartThings is a trademark licensed by Samsung to **athorized** third-party manufacturers… Hahaha ---

> [@GSzabados](#): > > SmartThings is a trademark licensed by Samsung to **athorized** third-party manufacturers… ‘ **Included** Ethernet cable’ probably should have been ‘Includes’ too, but at least it is a word. They are not exactly disguising the manufacturer are they? ---

And “informations” shouldn’t be plural also.
