Samsung HVAC any good?

Devices & Integrations
1

Anyone here using Samsung’s split heat pump/cooling units with ST? Any experiences you’d be willing to share, about the integration with ST, or reliability/quality of the products overall would be very welcome.

Eyeing the Samsung DVM S Eco multi-zone split unit to drive 5 or 6 indoor units (ductless and low static ducted) in my (1930s era) home. Seems to use a single WiFi adapter option at the heat pump to manage and control all indoor units (vs. having each unit connected to WiFi). Most installers around these parts (NY/NJ area) are pushing Mitsubishi but Kumo Cloud is not native ST. I could make do with IFTTT/Alexa integration, but prefer native ST (if you have opinions on Mitsubishi multi-zone with branch boxes, those are welcome as well).

Thanks in advance!

I used ST with Samsung DVM S Eco to control 4 cassetts. It worked fine but was the only thing I use ST hub for, so I switch to a driver that did not require the physical hub and that worked for a while until I guess the developer lost interest. In any case it ceased to work and switching back to the ST hub the hub could not connect. I bought an Aeotec hub and after 6-months it still cannot connect. I only have manual control of the units (and only from the room they are in). Samsung support has been courtious but useless; they keep asking for data, but I did not buy their product to become a debugging expert.
