I was wondering the same thing last night as I was playing around with the connect app on my new galaxy S8 and reading another post about others who are trying to migrate things over (and breaking things). First of all, I just bought a hub about 6 months ago AND I recently purchased an expensive AC …

What am I missing? I cannot see anywhere that is states that the existing hub will be made obsolete?!? People are speculating and worrying over nothing. Yes eventually hardware does become obsolete and needs replacing but there is no mention of this happening not to mention there are far too many us…

I too am interested in this. I wonder if the new Samsung Connect Home will have a new and replaced SDK, potentially rendering the existing user codebases (SmartApps etc) obsolete?

As part of the Samsung Connect launch it’s probable that you’ll see new developer tools unveiled later this year, but we don’t have a…

Thank you very much for that answer. I have had mine up for just a few days shy of one month, all is well.

Haven't opened the box yet as I am currently refurbishing my home. I waited, researched these buys to make sure I wouldn't experience…

When it comes to technology, watching prices after you buy something can induce buyers remorse. Tech is constantly improving and replacing other versions. Once you buy, just start using and enjoying your purchase instead of being upset over advancements in new products that were not even available a…

Hi Tyler, can you tell me if there are any plans to release the SmartThings Hub into the Australian market? All of the people I have spoken to have had to bring them in from the States. We need our own version to comply with Government regulations. Thanks, Mike
