Or Samsung "Smart Things".. but unlikely to last 30 years..

Is there anything that actually works with it directly? I have a growing number of connected devices around me, and none of them can talk to SmartThings, except floor heating controllers that do so by half-broken integration with Tuya...

Trying to figure out (without success) how to hook A/C units to SmartThings, I learned that apparently Samsung/ST is abandoning their existing "we'll figure it out for you in the cloud somehow" architecture, moving towards "please buy our hub/edge device, and run some Lua scripts on it" architecture, which actually doesn't feel like an upgrade.

Well that's what I figure: you buy their thermostat. We don't use ours for hvac control, just water leak monitoring.

Can you imagine what Samsung (or any large corporation) would want for a centralized controller for an entire school district?
