The woox siren is pretty loud:
And my Zigbee Frient smoke detectors are even louder.

There is no siren matter yetâŚ
There are several videos on the same channel as above.
From what I have seen the SmartThings Hub V4 is Matter compatible with thread, zigbee, WiFi 2.4, WiFi 5.0, ethernet, USB-A, USB-C (for power), BLE, 512MB Ram 8GB Storage.

Interesting.
Samsung has previously released some home automation devices only for the Korean market, including a zwave security system panel, a Bixby smart speaker, and some smart locks.
So it will be interesting to see if this ever gets outside the Asian region.

Iâve been talking to him for a while now. Interestingly, itâs not the same person in every video. I notice the details of their handsâtheyâre different, and their tone of voice is different. He once told me it was the Samsung ST Pro, now heâs talking about the V4 version. This is all very interesting, to say the least.
Nothing certified for zwave yet.
It looks like the v4 has the same ram capacity as v2 which is twice v3. So for hub users currently on soft or hard limit is that constrained by ram or storage? Iâm expecting it is possibly ram, are all installed drivers resident in memory? In which case it will be better than v3 but not really better than v2? It will have a faster cpu I suppose.

Maybe this time the USB port isnât useless.

Maybe iâm missing something, but if you plug a Z stick or anything similar into a smartthings hub, how are you going to access the software to run the network? It requires either windows or Linux or OSX, none of which are available to us on a smartthings hub.
Plug Z-Stick 10 Pro into a host controller and find the serial port identifier (that can be a PC, Mac, RPi, etc):
- Windows - Open up âPorts & LPTâ under Device Manager. The Z-Stick 10 shows as a COMX device (where X can be a number value range of 0 - 1000).
-
Z-Wave may show up as COM6 (COM numbers depend on the USB port used
-
Zigbee 3.0 may show up as COM5 (COM numbers depend on the USB port used)
-
- Linux - under your command prompt, type in âdmesg | grep ttyâ which will give you a list of all tty devices connected. Z-Stick 10 Pro will show as a âttyUSB0â device.
- Z-Wave may show up as ttyUSB1
- Zigbee 3.0 may show up as ttyUSB0
- OSX - Choose Apple > System Preferences, then click âNetworkâ. You can find Zi-Stick as a USB Modem device
- Can be listed as (two devices will appear with different numbers, one will be Z-Wave and the other as your Zigbee 3.0 network):
- /dev/cu.usbmodem-XXXX (where XXXX can be a combination of a number 0-9 such as 1229)
- /dev/cu.usbserial-XXXX (where XXXX can be a combination of a number 0-9 such as 4211)
- /dev/tty.usbserial-XXXX (where XXXX can be a combination of a number 0-9 such as 6921)
- Can be listed as (two devices will appear with different numbers, one will be Z-Wave and the other as your Zigbee 3.0 network):

Just having a USB port isnât enough. You could power it on, but you couldnât run it.
Again, unless Iâve just missed something.

First: the big grin smiley indicates that I was joking.
Second: I know exactly how USB works under Linux. Donât get me started, because I know itâll end in a lecture - especially when it comes to tty (and modem) devices. BTW: lsusb exists.
Third: A firmware update could in fact add support for Z-Wave sticks. Who knowsâŚ
Rightâno zwave logo, in spite of what some bloggers have said.
And no zwave certification filed with the alliance.
So far, it looks like those who suggested this might be an updated Station but without the charging plate are likely to be right.
Can just zigbee devices be migrated to the V4 and keep z wave devices on the V3? Iâm at the âhard limitâ on the v3.

Letâs wait and see if there will be an Aeotec version. They surely want to continue to sell their Z-Wave devices.
And yes, you can manually migrate devices between your hubs. With the downside that automations that involve devices from two different hubs wonât run locally.

Itâs a little bit complicated. If you want to keep them all in the same âhub group,â assuming it works like other smartthings hubs, then the primary hub owns all the edge drivers and devices, and you have the same memory issues. The other hub just works as a satellite.
If you set them up as two different âlocationsâ even though they are physically in the same building, then, sure, you could have Zigbee on one and Z wave on the other, but as @Andreas_Roedl noted, then routines using devices from both locations will not run locally.
So it depends what youâre specifically trying to accomplish.

Was hoping the V4 with increased memory would solve my memory limit. Guess I need to start looking at other brands of hubs.

oh man this is super exciting as ive been at the hard limit for months now! But no z-wave support is a fail. This will be waste if theirs no zwave support. im way too deep with zwave devices to give it up. PLEASE samsung, add z-wave!

If you watch the videos on the same youtube channel you will see the zwave logo which I am sure I did, unless I was halucinating?!
Edit there was a zwave logo in the videos must have been for something else.
