Sales happen all the time, but there is the smartthings connection allegedly coming out soon ish.

New Smartthing hub? Samsung Smart Connect Home router announced yesterday alongside the S8?

Does anyone have any information on the Smart Connect Home router (smartthings hub + mesh wifi)? It seems that this one will have BLUETOOTH, Wifi, ZigBee, Z-Wave, etc… and more hardware power that the smartthings hub 2 (understandably as this is also a router). Is this yet another US only product? (as are the Smartthings enabled 2016 Smart TV sold worldwide) Does this mean that hub v1 and hub v2 won’t support future features developed for the connect home? (such as the long awaited Bluetooth support; remember the hub2 has Bluetooth on the spec. Same as the 2016 TVs (outside US) this is not implemented! I lost faith, it won’t happen)… Surely, a lot of the (already limited) development resources of Smartthings will be/are allocated to developing this new product rather than support…
