That's it. I finished. Samsung SmartThings just isn't good enough anymore. I no longer think I can use this home automation and smart home system in my home. I'll explain why and how I'll be evaluating a number of other smart home systems in 2024.

Timecodes for today's video:
00:00 – Samsung SmartThings is dead to me
1:09 – How SmartThings failed me this year
3:39 – Broken promises
6:50 p.m. – The community problem
8:46 – Why you won't get new custom features in SmartThings
11:00 – It's Samsung only now
12:40 p.m. – What this means for us
14:57 – Which smart home system I will use now
