Reddit take

Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • And ironic I don’t Alexa for automations, it’s just for voice entry to control my SmartThings hub.
  • If you’re looking for something with better Matter support you can still buy the v3 hub (which supports Zwave still) for only $149 on this site
  • I also have a SmartThings Hub in case that can be used too.
  • I have zigbee smartwings shades. They’re pretty plug and play with the smartthings hub, which also seamlessly connects them to Google home.
  • smartthings hub can run z wave and zigbee devices. there’s an app for the hub to manage your locks.

Cons

  • I was going to buy some at some point, but didn't because I realized they wouldn't natively connect to my Smartthings Hub. They do now apparently though.
  • I use a smartthings hub and most of my devices are Kasa plugs and Lutron caseta switches.
  • With that, It is connected through a SmartThings hub, and for switches I want to remain on, I set a routine that says if that switch is off longer than 5 minutes, turn it back on.
  • The latest Smartthings hub doesn't have zwave, don't see why anyone would want it.
  • Be sure to avoid the v4 hub, they’ve dropped Zwave support on the latest model for whatever reason.

The V2 hub doesn't support any modern security with z wave and it has an ancient by comparison 500 chip which is 3 versions out of date by now.

My SmartThings hub (circa 2018 Samsung) *seems* to be failing. One of the locks kept disconnecting, I assumed it was a Kwikset problem and they sent me a replacement. But as soon as I pulled the "broken" lock, *another* lock started disconnecting frequently.
