Find the version of your SmartThings Hub

SmartThings Wifi is a mesh Wi-Fi router with SmartThings and Plume built in. SmartThings will replace your current Wi-Fi router and allow you to increase the strength of your home network by using additional Wi-Fi sub hubs.

The SmartThings Hub (2018) is the newest version of SmartThings’ core hardware, released August, 2018.

Some key features include:

• Wi-Fi connection: Connect to SmartThings cloud using either Wi-Fi or hard-wired Ethernet.
• Local processing capabilities: Some functionalities can run locally with the Hub. Some automations powered by Zigbee or Z-Wave devices will not have to make a round trip from the device, to the Hub, up to the Cloud, and back.
• Range: 50-130 feet, depending on your home's construction.

The SmartThings Hub v2 (2015) is the second generation of the SmartThings' core hardware, released in September 2015.

Some key features include:

• Local processing capabilities: Some functions can run locally with Hub v2. Some automations powered by Zigbee or Z-Wave devices will not have to make a round trip from the device, to the Hub, up to the Cloud, and back.
• Battery backup: Hub v2 comes with 4 AA batteries. This battery backup allows certain automations to continue, even without power, for up to 10 hours.
• USB: To set the groundwork for future expansion, Hub v2 includes two USB ports.

The SmartThings Hub (Hub v1) is the first-generation Hub. This Hub is no longer manufactured or sold in the official SmartThings Shop, but it may still be found through other vendors.
