So a Samsung Canada Support agent told me that Smartthings is Discontinued.
I went to buy another few sensors from Samsung.com/ca as I have done many time before, but this time there was no option to buy from Samsung. Just a button to “Find Retailers”
For the multipurpose sensor it gave me 3 options
- Amazon.ca (not sold by Amazon, only resellers, selling the 30$ sensor for 80$ plus shipping)
- The source.ca - No longer carries this item - discontinued.
- Visions.ca - Discontinued - limited stock only, available for instore pickup only 8 hours away
so… no sellers in Canada.
So I contacted Samsung support through the website chat…
here is what followed…
TLDR;

Are Smartthings being discontinued in Canada?
I used to buy sensors from Samsung website directly here in canada

Hi Tristyn, Currently on our website we do not have Smart Things and there is no ETA for their stock information
Tristyn
it says i can buy from these retailers then gives me a list of amazon.ca (there are only scalpers selting 30$ sensor for 80$), the source (discontinued), and Visions Discontinued)
