V3 hubs is out of stock everywhere in Canada and in some stores in US (Amazon, for example).
Are we that close to a V4 hub?

Only if third party manufacturers are going to design and build it, apparently. :wink:

This seems to fall in line with what was hinted a few months ago in that podcast…Samsung is getting out of the smart home hardware business and will focus on the cloud platform/API. Looks like it will be up to third parties to build the hardware, including the hubs for users who want Z-wave and Zigbee devices.

I have to believe a formal announcement will be forthcoming.

Oh Lord. If that happens I hope it works better than their Switch 6, Gen 5 :grin:.

I’m slow on the uptake… it took me three looks to realize that page has the SmartThings V3 hub yet says “Brand Name: Aeotec” and “Aeotec” on the outside of the box.

Version listed is the same one for V3 ( IM6001-V3P22 ).
It looks like they are only certifying V3 hub for enhanced security.
