Pros & Cons
Pros
Installation is a breeze. Auto detects things which is great. Definitely a solid piece of hardware for any home automation solution.
Highlights
Quality
Quality is “samsung standard” meaning very good
I am very pleased with this purchase for my home automation purposes
While using my phone is fine there should be a pc interface not unlike the ecobee3
Packaging/appearance
Remedied that by importing an app from the smartthings community using github
Competitiveness
I have just dipped my toes in the water but i have a smartthings hub which is connected to my schlage century smart lock
I would recommend this to anyone who want to get into doing their own smarthome automation and security
