Will Smartthings be like Homekit

[koamkoam (Bob A Booey)]

I don’t get why ST is stopping the handling of the hubs. Ya think maybe Samsung will be coming out with like a Samsung version of Homekit? I mean like Samsung just released ST in android auto also TV’s, Refrigerators and Samsung phones have ST in them. Just sent get what’s up. My ST Hub V1 keeps discounting and im looking to upgrade and can’t find a new hub in stock something is not adding up.

An Update Regarding our Hardware

We’ve been following the comments on the Community regarding SmartThings hardware and wanted to help clarify some information on this matter. Earlier this year, we highlighted plans to enlist companies that are leaders in the smart home / automation space to manufacture and distribute SmartThings hardware. We are expanding our partnership with Aeotec to work with our European market and will share more information when available. Please stay tuned to our official channels for future announcements.

so no stock? really ST you couldn’t have Aeotec “rebrand” before selling all the stock of the ST hubs? So people with dead hubs have to wait MONTHS? I could have a new Tesla built in 2 weeks…wow this is going to be amazing new hub I guess huh

It’s exactly the same device as the current V3 hub, just with a different logo.

It appears that Samsung made the decision and then started looking for partners and that created a supply chain gap.
