Finally, I found someone talking about UPGRADING a system instead for the first time install. Thank you very much. I have the SmartThings V2 but want to upgrade to the Samsung Smart WiFi / Hub mesh system.
@hejotorzs
I have Smartthings version 2 for almost 2 years now. Paralel I installed local openhab2 server and gradually I started to move all devices to OH. Now I have enough experience in OH to say it opens wide range of bindings and posiibilies compared to Smartthings. However if somebody wants simple smarthome and not tech guy without programming skills. Smartthings can be perfect choice, as it supports wide range of things and has fexible and simple roule creation tool for normal users. OH is also working on such solutions but they are not there. I really enjoyed this video and learned about ST from older videos. Thanks István

Maximum how many device connect this smart thing hub
@dannysmith365
Nice video but did you realise you made a video without really telling us what it can do.... Some examples would be goodm
@chfin7251
Great video. I am buying Smartthings v3 now. My first home automation.
@NoTengoIlusiones
Thanks for the video Bill. Sugestions for the next video with Smarthings v3 deep dive. (1) cover non usage of samsung sensors ( the offer is very limited and plugin them should be a no brainer, litle value add for the video) (2) Cover the openhab integration as you mentioned (3) Cover the IFTTT integration ( if possible) (4) Create a few rules to understand the capabilities.(5) mention a few concrete limitations vs openhab/ smart assistant (6)Smarthings App and Hub. Why both? In summary , a review of v3 in all its glory, what makes me buy this, invest time( even more expensive) instead of a Raspberry Pi3 with homeassistant/ openhab. Cheers and thanks for the video again.
@wesb217
Do you think buying the v2 at a discounted price is worth it at this moment ?
@boby4509
Thanks for the video, but if the device is connected to you wifi already what difference would it make if you have the hub or not, as you can still control them through the app on your phone. Are there any additional features or?
@JohnFernau
Have you ever looked at Hubitat? Very similar to Smart things but with local processing.
@dennisnguyen8346
Sorry for a dump question. Just want to confirm that the Smartthing Hub/OpenHab are not be able to control any wifi devices? In my case, I had a couple of Hue bulbs and wifi light switches had been installed and they are working perfectly fine with the Google home hub. But they're not "smart"/"automated" yet. I'd like to expand my smart home like adding an motion sensor to control those light, etc. I dont think I can program/schedule/interact with them via the smarthing hub/openhab hey?
@vanson420
Is there a monthly fee with the Samsung? Wink just forced us users into paying a monthly fee os of the 20th of May.
@edelmirasoto1372
Quick question, im a total rookie with automation, my router only connects to 10 things max, if I get this hub, can I connect more than 10 devices with smarthings? I want to connect multiple smart devices, not necesssarily to communicate with each other, but being able to connect more devices, if this is not it, what can I use? Thanks, great video
@edtharp
I'm new to smart homes. Does this eliminate the need for hubs like Hues & Nest? Do you need something like this if you get a Harmony hub? Thanks in advance. Subbed
@toit
Thanks for another great vid! Can you share some examples or generalizations for where OH would be an advantage over ST? Having never used ST, I am not sure where the limitations begin.
@sethzarny6033
Yoyo. I am having difficulty loading the binding for Samsung Smartthings and Openhab. What is the link to your video showing how to load the binding? Are there are other resources you recommend to help with this linkage? Thank you Seth
@aldojoseaguileramekin7763
Hi Yoyo...It will be asome if you can make a video how to use Samsung Smartthings in LOCAL environment. I know they release some functions but there many doubt what will work or not. They just say try it!, but we are talking of a big budget here... it is not smart to do that. Another nice video can be to make a tutorial project with OpenHub from zero up to make an automation, maybe to turn a light on with a motion sensor. This will help to clarify a lot of things.
@iteasier
Hi YoYo Tech, I have the Smarthings 2. I have also been considering getting a motion sensors for my house. Originally, from your previous video, I was looking at Aeon Labs Aeotec Z-Wave Multi-Sensor 6. Or should I consider the Samsung SmartThings Motion Sensor. Would that work better with my smart things. Not to mention its a few dollars less.
@fulesmackofule
Thanks for the good explanation! I wasn't sure why the hub was needed as I have the SmartThings app coming with Samsung Galaxy S9+. Seems like that is not enough to control these sensors as those use some other protocols than simply being connected to WiFi. By the way, how can you set up sequences of actions when something is triggered? Is there a website where you can configure your brain with events and logical connections of actions? Thanks.
@ROBERTELECTRIC1
is there monthly fee for hub to use ?
