Replacing Hub v1 with an upgrade

[bobwiggins]

I have a SmartThings Hub v1 which has been getting more and more unreliable over the past few months. It is to the point I need to reboot it at least once a week as most devices don’t respond. I have been looking into replacing/upgrading the hub but as I have discovered, it appears SmartThings does not sell a simple hub any longer. They appear to have replaced it with a SmartThings WiFi router/hub combo ET-WV525BWEGUS.

I already have a Linksys Mesh network and do not want to replace it with the Samsung SmartThings Mesh network so my question is can the ET-WV525BWEGUS be configured as a hub only (disabling the WiFi functionality).

Does anyone know who to integrate the WiFi router/hub into an existing Mesh network?

Thanks

If you want to wait several more months, the hubs should be back in stock by Q2 2021 I believe. They will be rebranded as Aeotec Smart Home hubs.

I’m assuming that there is no ability to migrate from V1, meaning that I’d basically have to start all over again

Not at the moment. I’m in the same situation and it’s discouraging.

Well, if there hasn’t been a migration yet, there won’t be one. The mere thought of manually resetting up my home sends shivers down my spine.
