لقد استثمرت مؤخرا في SmartThings محور لبيتي لاستخدامها في الأمن والسلامة فضلا عن وظائف المنزل الذكي العامة. خلال الأشهر المقبلة سوف أكون كتابة سلسلة من المقالات مع بعض العقبات التقنية أعبر على طول الطريق.
The SmartThings hub includes support for Zigbee, Z‑Wave, ومنتجات واي فاي, with Bluetooth support rumoured for the near future. There are lists of compatible products on the SmartThings website, but be warned — the licensed Z‑Wave frequencies are different around the world so versions of the hub are localised, and hence the compatible products vary by region. كما أعيش في المملكة المتحدة I have purchased a المملكة المتحدة version of the SmartThings hub which operates on 868.42MHz — the licensed frequency in the المملكة المتحدة وأوروبا.
Sadly the SmartThings hub is currently NOT compatible with “Lightwave RF” products — which is a pity as these are widely available in the المملكة المتحدة and are typically lower priced than Zigbee or Z‑Wave alternatives (which are also far more limited in number)
I am currently using the SmartThings hub with a Fibaro motion sensor (EU version 3.2), a FortrezZ “siren strobe alarm” (المملكة المتحدة النسخة سيون) والتبديل المحلي بلكين (المملكة المتحدة النسخة سيون). I have also experimented with hooking up an old Foscam Fi8918W wireless camera and a Duwi Z‑Wave switch both of which are still a work in progress
