SmartThings Features and Updates
Q3 was an exciting quarter for us with new product launches and a variety of SmartThings app updates, including:
- The Aeotec Smart Home Hub 2: The Smart Home Hub 2 is available for purchase on Samsung.com. This next-generation hub, supporting Matter, Thread, and Zigbee, has 70% faster CPU performance for reduced latency, and double the RAM capacity of the Aeotec Smart Home Hub to support more devices. It also has a smaller form factor with a wall-mount option and USB-C power.
- Personalized Experiences: SmartThings now offers expanded routine recommendations based on a user’s Home Profile survey results, helping deliver a tailored experience for each user.
- Coffee Makers: Users can now add coffee makers to routines in the SmartThings app.
- iOS Updates: Quick Remote has expanded with five additional device types, including air conditioner, robot vacuum, air purifier, air dehumidifier, and wine cooler.
Hub Updates
We’ve rolled out many new Hub updates as well, including:
- Thread Enhancements: Hubs have been upgraded to Thread 1.4 with support for Credential Sharing, TREL (Thread Radio Encapsulation Link) for better connectivity (NAT 64) across IP networks. Users can now also unify the Hub’s Thread network with nearby Thread networks directly from the SmartThings app (see more below).
- Zigbee Improvements: There is now reduced “popcorning” when controlling multi-gang switches and outlets with local rules.
- Expanded Matter Support: Hubs now support flow sensors and HRAP (Home Routers and Access Points) device types, including Network Infrastructure Managers and Thread Border Routers.
Matter Updates
- With 2-way Thread network unification, SmartThings becomes the first major platform enabling Border routers from different ecosystems to join our Thread network, or vice versa. This enhancement makes setup easier, extends coverage, and delivers the performance users expect.
- We are proud of our partnership with the Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA). See what they had to say about SmartThings in their latest success story.
Developer Center Updates
- Test Suite for Hub Connected Devices: Thank you to our partners, Eve, Hue, Meross, and Eufy, who have used our latest self-testing options in Test Suite for easy and free certification. Learn more via our recent LinkedIn post or developer documentation.
