At present, SmartThings has around 63 million active users worldwide, many of which rely on Scenes, Automations, and the countless IFTTT (If This Then That) smart home scenarios these tools can create. Scenes and Automations feel natural to anyone who has used Bixby Routines before, and they're equally intuitive to users who may be unfamiliar with the IFTTT concept or Samsung's user-friendly interface.
SmartThings excels at bringing countless smart home devices closer together, whether they're connected via ethernet or Wi-Fi and regardless of whether they're Samsung-branded or otherwise. It's not without flaws, as some brands and/or devices have lost support over time, but new brands and IoT products continue to be added to the SmartThings catalogue.
We would love to hear how or if our readers use SmartThings in conjunction with their smart home devices. Do you rely on Scenes and Automations, and how dependent on SmartThings has your everyday (smart) life become, if at all? Feel free to participate in our poll and leave a comment below.
