I’ve been a SmartThings user since 2014 and have used and owned the last three versions. Today I’ll compare the second hub to the third generation hub. We’ll also take a look at a couple of the new sensors including the Multipurpose Sensor and Water Leak Sensor.

Any good glass break detectors out there?
Awesome, informative and concise video! I have the V2 and now I know I won’t be upgrading. A new sub for me, love the channel.
+it’s Rose – you are so very good looking! I’m swooning right here!
You… are… gorgeous.
Did they fix the Samsung TV control problem with version 3? We lost access to them last year with aTV firmware update.
How often do i need to change the battery in the mulitpurpose sensor?
The new v3 app wont work on my phone
So beautiful and informative I had to watch this video twice. Any man would be lucky to have you.
This means I don’t need to get the new one 🙂
Thanks for the video! Small tip – please turn down the gain on the mic since the noise is pretty distracting 🙂
Is the app the same one they release last year (currently available 1.6.27)?? I tried it with my old V2 hub and didn’t like, so reverted back to SmartThings Classic app.
Dear Friend, Thanks for your video ,could you also help us to review our smart pordcut http://www.zemismart.com If you like our prodcut ,pls send email to me sky@zhi-mei.com for review details, Rearlly thanks.
How long do the batteries last on the devices?
I use HomeAssistant. The Hassio distribution is easy to insall on a raspberry pi, and can be configured as you need to. Works with all of my Z-wave devices.
How do Alexa announce???
I like the side by side view. Really nice…..
No migration path!? WTH was Samsung thinking?
Is there a home automation package that doesn’t require an internet connection? I don’t need all my stuff accessible “from the cloud”.
Trying to figure out if I dump Wink (finally) and go with SmartThings. Any former Wink users?
I’ve attempted to connect my Samsung Smartcam to no avail. Any ideas?
Thanks for posting this review. Question on the “if statements” – were you able to write nested statements on the fly? This functionality alone would move me to buy v3
Great review and it doesn’t hurt that you look sooo sexy also keep up the great reviews
really good review thanks
