More discussion in the European topic:

Smartthings hub 2 - European frequency 868Mhz

Hi to all of you European Smartthings friends. I thought its about time we have a Smartthings forum which we can discuss and exchange ideas about the new and improved smarthings hub 2. Since the European frequency differs from the US version of smart things etc, We need to buy correct z-wave product to match the European version of smartthings. Basic point of the forum is to exchange knowledge, tricks, hack, ideas, solutions, tips, and help each other to find compatible products to the European frequency of smartthings. The US version is already announced and Smartthings developer has informed me to stay tuned as the European version will be announced aswell in the coming weeks.

Hey!

Great news -SmartThings will be available in the U.K. at select Currys PC World stores and online at Samsung.com and currys.co.uk beginning September 10.

So its here…

They finally have it for sale today… but word of warning…

Living up to Currys normal “high” level of customer service (UK readers will note the irony!) they are selling the hub, the things and bundles…

So firstly its their own bundles…and secondly… the bundled items are all still at full price as far as I can see.

On their SmartThings page there is no sign of the starter bundle…

But. They are selling it.

Through accident or design they have decided to go with an item name that doesn’t include the word SmartThings and uses a picture of the Version 1 starter kit.

But it is available here - http://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/smart-tech/smart-tech/smart-home/smart-home-starter-kits/smart-home-starter-kit-10135868-pdt.html

Hope that’s helpful to someone.

The first picture is gen one, but it looks like the third picture in is gen two for the UK.

[Aaron (Aaron S)]

Yea… Ignore the picture. We’re working on getting it fixed.

It is a new version Hub. We are selling a new version of the starter kit in the UK (in stores and online) that includes a Hub, multi, presence, motion, and outlet for 199gbp.

Your query:
hello, you have recently started selling the samsung smartthings hub. Samsung have recently released version 2 of the hub. Which one are you selling? Version 1 or 2?
Thanks
M

[Aaron (Aaron S)]

They are selling the second version SmartThings Hub (but this is the first version they’ve ever seen bc we didn’t sell the original Hub in UK). I’ll flag this for the right people to discuss with KH.

Thanks and sorry for the confusion.
