I learned a lot when Iris moved from “old” to “new”.
Wait as long as you can to “upgrade”. Let some other suckers be the beta testers.
The Iris “upgrade” is what led me to SmartThings. Hopefully I don’t have to switch again when SmartThings forces me to upgrade.
Already been 3 rounds of Beta Testers
We are excited to announce that we are testing the ability to update your SmartThings account to a Samsung account. To make sure this feature works well, we are launching a beta, and with your help, we can bring this feature to all existing SmartThings users!
You may be asking yourself, “Why do I care about whether my account is a SmartThings or Samsung account?” Well, let me tell you. The following are the most exciting reasons to begin using a Samsung account:
Brings you simplicity and access to a wide range of Samsung services
Interoperability between Samsung Connect and SmartThings:
All SmartThings users will be able to use Samsung Connect.
Those of you with new Galaxy phones will be able to use Bixby to control your smart home
Who should sign up for this project?
SmartThings…
This migration has nothing to do with moving you to the new app.
It is coordinating and migrating all information from your ST account to a Samsung Account. You will continue using the SmartThings Classic app just like the rest of us who participated in the Account Migration Beta. It’s the same IDE, just a new account which can use the same email account you are using now for your ST account.
