SmartThings updates
Every SmartThings change that matters, summarised in plain English each month. What's new, what moved, and what to check.
The headline: the SmartThings app can now talk directly to your hub over your home network, even when the hub is offline, but that feature waits on an app update the release notes do not name.
How SmartThings updates work
SmartThings changes arrive through the SmartThings app, scheduled hub firmware releases and Samsung's cloud. Hub firmware installs automatically on Samsung's schedule, with release notes published ahead of each rollout.
Each month we round up what actually changed for SmartThings households: new features, changed behaviour, and anything worth checking in your own setup. Rundowns are named for the month they cover, so 2026.7 is July's.
