SmartThings
Samsung’s smart home kit lets you
build your system by adding compatible
products. The SmartThings hub
contains both ZigBee and Z-Wave
radios; it connects directly to a router
and communicates with connected
products, regardless of their wireless
protocol. The SmartThings app sends
instant alerts if there’s unwanted entry,
smoke, leaks or other unexpected
activity; a camera can be added to
capture footage of these events.
