Samsung Devices with integrated SmartThings Hubs

Thought they were going to specify the radios supported or at least warn potential buyers. They advertise that:

Different smart home products use different communication methods—such as Zigbee, Z-Wave, Thread, Matter, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth. A hub allows them to work together

experience a fully connected home without the hassle of additional hardware.

They make it sound like any hub of the list connects everything but in reality many don’t support Zigbee or Thread (they need a dongle which is additional hardware) and most don’t support Z-Wave (only the standalone hubs do and not all).

At least it looks like the dongle is a thing of the past and modern models already include Zigbee and Thread.
