Samsung SmartThings is a user-friendly smart home platform. A Samsung SmartThings network is made up of both software and hardware. To complete the setup, a hub and a compatible SmartThings app are required. The hub communicates with SmartThings-compatible smart home technology. A Samsung SmartThings compliant hub connects to a router, either physically or wirelessly, and controls all the devices and sensors, ultimately storing the data of all the communications either locally or by sending it to the cloud.
