The second-generation Samsung SmartThings Hub is designed to be the brain of your smart home ecosystem, much like a wireless router serves to connect everything to your Wi-Fi network. The hub syncs wirelessly with a myriad of smart devices and appliances from Samsung and many other manufacturers. Connect to and manage your kitchen appliances, door locks, thermostats, motion sensors, alarm systems, lights, smart TVs, audio devices, and more.
The official SmartThings app for iOS, Android, and Windows turns your phone or tablet into a remote control, giving you complete command of your smart home setup. Along with controlling your appliances directly, the app allows you to set up timers, activity notifications, and automation. You can also program your devices to turn on and off at certain times throughout the day with the SmartThings Routines feature. The hub works with the Alexa cloud service as well, letting you control your connected appliances with an Amazon Echo via simple voice commands.
Amazon is now offering the Samsung SmartThings Hub for $20 off its normal price, bringing it down to just $80. This model was rated very highly by PCMag and was named by The Wirecutter as the best smart home hub currently available. If you already own smart appliances or are considering taking the plunge into the burgeoning world of smart homes, then the Samsung SmartThings Hub is an affordable and user-friendly integration solution.
