I love the SmartThings platform. I feel it’s about time we start to talk about the next version of the hub. When you think about it the Home Automation industry makes it extremely easy to “jump ship”. The reliability, technical support, GUI, device integration, etc. play a major role in sticking with the Smartthings hub or moving all of your devices to a new platform. I used another platform before switching to Smartthings. I won’t mention the name of my prior platform but it became very unstable, I was constantly looking for answers. Smartthings is awesome. They are brand new but look how far they came and how quickly they did so. I have ideas of features i would like to see in the next version of the hub and I’m sure together we could get a solid list going of ideas that would impove the hardware considerably. ** Check out the Home Center Lite hub. That’s a great looking device. Gives big hopes to what could be possible with SmartThings version 2.0. What do you think? **

[image] ATLGator: Thanks @Ben! Also, will the hub unit price change after the pre-order timeframe, or will it go up? Just making sure it’ll actually be better to wait. We expect the price to remain the same.

Or use international mailboxes services available in your country (Buy in US, ship it to a zip mailbox -usually located in Miami- and then bring it to your country). The downside is that you are not able to buy in the ST shop (international credit cards not recognized :disappointed_relieved: ), but amazon works great.

Just got around to trying to order, was busy yesterday… and it is already sold out???

Best Buy distribution? Wow, that’s a big change for ST…

Any hints to when the UK launch will be Ben?

[image] Ben: We do have Best Buy in Canada… Your wait may be a little longer but that is another option. So is that a confirm that ST is coming to Best Buy? :smile:

Probably. I see they are already in the Microsoft Store… http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msusa/en_US/pdp/SmartThings-Smarter-Home-Starter-Kit/productID.308805700 Best Buy and other retail channels would make sense eventually.

Hope they are ready! I know people have mentioned in other posts, but the concern still remains if ST servers will be able to handle a mass increase in users.
