Don’t quote me or Tyler as it’s entirely possible these things might change but:
Without preempting our announcements too much, this is essentially the case. This opens another door for someone to become a SmartThings user. This is the first of many “hubless” ways to join the SmartThings platform. If you’re a current user, this shouldn’t change much (or anything) for you. If you develop on our platform, this will open up more users for the solutions you develop. Expect to also be able to control your 2015 and 2016 Smart TVs as “Things” as well (some models excluded).
A Tizen client for Samsung TVs is coming as well. There are (at least) four angles to this: TV as a hub 2015 TV as a device 2016 TV as a device TV as a client As far as I know, no. Not at this time.
Any updates on this situation @Tyler?
