I have three locations, the first with SmartThings Hub v2 and the latter 2 with Samsung Connect Home (SCH) hubs. Given the limited number of compatible devices for SCH, all three locations are managed by the SmartThings (ST) app. In other words the SCH locations were installed and the WiFi functionality provisioned using the SCH app. However, all hub devices additions and smartapp installs and operations are managed by the ST app.
The big disappointment with the SCH hub is that there appears to be no local processing as enjoyed in the Hub v2 location. If the internet is down all local lighting controls are also down.
Within the IDE, equivalent z-wave lighting configurations (Same GE part number and DTH) in the V2 and SCH locations show Local and Cloud respectively.
Changing the DTH between Z-Wave Switch Generic and Z-Wave Switch had the same result.
Has anyone verified that there is no possibility of local processing in the SCH? If so, I would not recommended the SCH for anyone that experiences internet outages and is used to lighting and security automation and/or group associations via “Smart Home Monitor” and “Smart Lights”.
