''SmartThings has added additional compatible devices. One of the first compatible devices to be announced was Amazon Echo, a.k.a Alexa, a personal voice assistant. If you have an Amazon Echo, you can pair it with your SmartThings hub and enjoy controlling your smart home with your voice. Simply say “Alexa” before stating your request, and SmartThings will respond

''A single hub can support a combination of any 4 cameras and will allow you to live stream video for free. If you want to record video, it will cost you $4.99 per month. For this price, you can store an unlimited amount of 2 minute clips. Clips will remain in the cloud for 30 days. The service also includes intelligent buffering, which allows recording to start 10 seconds before an event occurs.''

''You can set it to notify you by sending a text or email, triggering sirens, alerting you with lights, or all three.''

''Like the old hub, the upgraded SmartThings hub connects with more than 200 different sensors, cameras, home automation products, and appliances.

''Finally, SmartThings can support multiple home security cameras, including Dropcam and Foscam models, but it officially supports specific models from D-link and Samsung''
