smartthings api

The smartthings api tag tracks Samsung’s planned changes to access and pricing for SmartThings integrations. Current coverage focuses on Samsung’s announcement of paid API tiers for commercial partners and a $4.99-per-month personal developer plan scheduled for October 2026. Existing API access is expected to remain free through the third quarter, while ordinary use of the SmartThings app is not changing at present. These developments matter to independent developers, power users, and service operators who connect SmartThings with other smart-home tools, highlighting a shift in how programmable access to Samsung’s platform may be provided and funded.
