I have now had feedback from the SmartThings Labs team, who have advised a plan is in place to rollout to more regions, therefore this does not seem like another region restriction, rather a steady rollout.
A reply has been sent asking if a road map is available for this and I will update here once I hear back.
Nice to see a reply but its not exactly informative, there is an if and a maybe and a mention of paying attention to labs ? Not sure how but… Well let’s just see what happens
We’re happy to inform you that the SmartThings Labs will be available in UK today.
To meet your expectations, we’re opening it for UK customers ahead of schedule. Please understand that it was hard to share the specific time frame with you in advance.
We hope you enjoy the SmartThings Labs and give us your valuable feedback.
