Hello Friends !
I am a big fan of Samsung technology and therefore use both SmartThings and the first generation Aeotec Smart Home Hub. This is an excellent device, I am very glad that I bought it and use it to this day. It is very versatile and allows you to connect Zigbee, Z-wave, Matter (Thread and wifi) devices. But the new Aeotec Smart Home Hub 2 is just a masterpiece.
My wife and child use the app on the Samsung TV. They love to turn on everything from the big TV screen. I have a large number of different devices added to SmartThings.
I have most of all Aqara devices, hubs, leak sensors, temperature and humidity sensors, motion sensors of all models, E1 and W500 thermostats, switches, sockets, bulbs, relays with and without dry contacts, T1 spotlights, track lights, LED strip controllers, T1 LED strips, T1M lamp, ball valve actuators, cameras, presence sensors and these are all Aqara. I also use Ikea devices and connected the DIGIGERA hub via the Matter Bridge to SmartThings and Aqara home.
I hope for good luck in that contest, the new hub will be a great addition to my big multi-house. I want to wish good luck to all the participants of this wonderful giveaway and I wish everyone Victory.
Just wondering what the biggest advantage of SmartThings is compared to other platforms, in your opinion?
