Has anyone tried this with Fibaro stuff. The hub is much cheaper.

Why its crap`?

- everything connected to samsung site. So this is only one possibilty to add controller and setup.

- it has interesting UI design, but almost everything should be configured in mobile application.

- I didn't find possiblity to write code like lua.

- I tried it 1-2 month ago, and support of Fibaro devices is tiny. It supports several devices but only partly. For example I was able to turnOn, turnOff dimmer. But wasn't able to set desired level.

 

So my impression: developers wanted to make it as simple as possible, but we lose a lot in functionality. This is only IMHO.

I'm running one now, very simple set up. Nice and easy to use app. Looks like some Fibaro stuff will work but needs developing.
New TV's for 2016 will have it built in.

I am not a fan of Samsung software. Hardware wise they are good, if not great.

 

Just an example: Samsung released new version (1.5.0) of 'Smart View' app that totally changed from previous version/series (1.2.x and before) and broke the 'remote control' functionality which is main reason why people use the app. For months I have tried to reach support to point to them the 'remote control' functionality is not there (Oct to Dec 2015). Only until I leave a poor review of the app then they finally fixed it. Not to mention their TV release a firmware update and likely breaks the 'Smart View' app from working properly and have to wait for weeks or months before it gets fixed.
