About Samsung SmartThings
Originally an independent startup founded in 2012, SmartThings was acquired by Samsung in 2014 and has grown into one of the largest open IoT ecosystems. The platform allows users to connect and manage thousands of smart devices, including lights, thermostats, cameras, and sensors, using its mobile app and compatible hubs. For developers, SmartThings provides a robust, cloud-based API and developer workspace to integrate new devices and create applications ('SmartApps') that extend the platform's functionality. It supports a wide range of communication protocols, including Matter, Zigbee, and Z-Wave, making it a versatile choice for both consumers and developers building for the connected home.
