Hi! I’m new here and am considering purchasing a Smartthings Kit for my second home. They only issue is that I do not have internet at that house. If I purchase a 4G LTE Hotspot will I be able to use that with Smartthings so I can monitor the house and possibly be able to remote start some lights and the thermostat.
My plan is to purchase a D Link camera and a Smartthings kit so I can monitor the 2nd house when I am not there.
Any advise would be much appreciated!
You could defnitely make something like this work. Check out this thread, It should help you in your quest to awesomeness 
Thanks Tim!
It sounds like it will work.
I have a Linksys WRT54G sitting around doing nothing. From what I understand; I can plug the mifi into the Linksys, then the ST hub, correct? Then I have the ST hub on wifi.
I’m guessing in order to access the Linksys and the ST hub I’ll need a laptop with me.
All the Hub needs is an available Ethernet port. We’ve had customers report success with devices like this:

Hi Tyler,
I did some quick research, this is how I think I can setup my 2nd home;
I can purchase a http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/device/usb-modem/pantech-4g-lte to plug into http://www.amazon.com/TP-LINK-TL-MR3020-Wireless-Portable-Router/dp/B00634PLTW which I will plug the ST hub into. Then I can add a D Link camera to the hub and any other additions as needed.
Do you think the above will work?
Thanks!
I don’t have any experience with those specific devices but from a brief glance it looks like those will achieve what you’d like.
Thanks!
