Samsung SmartThings F-MN-US-2 Home Monitoring Kit, White $100 (+tax) [amazon.com]
Includes a SmartThings Hub to connect wirelessly with a wide range of smart devices and make them work together
Includes two SmartThings Multipurpose Sensors to receive alerts if windows open unexpectedly, set connected lights to turn on and off as you open doors, and much more
Includes a SmartThings Motion Sensor to receive alerts if there's unexpected movement, set connected devices to turn on and off as people come and go, and much more
Includes a SmartThings Outlet to control lights, electronics, and small appliances from anywhere
Hub is the preferred version 2 with battery back up, more memory, better processor, but not the newest which is a bit of a downgrade.
so, if i need to add or change something just let me know.

Many many devices work out of the box, no device drivers required. In my experience, SmartThings works out of the box with far more devices than any other platform; not even close. On top of that they provide the developer interface for drivers. It allows for a ton of flexibility, if you want to use it, but you don't have to.
This comes from someone who has been using it for about 3 years now.
Just be aware that ST becomes very stupid, almost catatonic, if you lose internet. The units have very weak CPUs (like 1/10th of a pi) and use cloud based servers for lots of thinking.
ST can be very dependent on device handlers you have to download. Think printer drivers. A little irritating.

when it was the latest, it sold for around $99 so i'm not sure why the price hasn't come down to the 70s. the microcenter equivalent probably has a bonus sensor included for just a few bucks more. i also see mc is selling the hub2 along for $45 which is more like it (price discounted, lowest i've ever seen).

I wouldn't completely agree with this assessment. Basic functionality, such as door sensors/alarm functions run locally. Other things do require internet connectivity. They have been moving more things to local execution, hopeful that continues.

I agree. I got rid of my hub. Terrible connectivity and always had to restart everything to get it to work. I'd def look elsewhere for a hub.
The geofencing is awful. I have to remember to open the app sometimes so it can pull location and do things like adjust my thermostat when I'm away. That defeats the purpose of the whole thing. I added my wife's phone to the hub as a location device and it came up with someone else's name. I removed my wife's phone/account but it she still has access to the hub but I can't add her to geofencing or back to the account.
Honestly the whole thing is more is more of a hobbyist project than anything else and is about as reliable as one too.
I wouldnt spend any more than $50 for a hub.
You aren't agreeing with me! I am very happy with SmartThings, works great for me.
I also installed it at my Mother's house and recommended it to several friends who also have it. They are all very happy.
I do agree that the arrival key fob is worthless and not very reliable.
Before you answer, because I think based on every comment I read on ST deals: I don't care about battery backup, especially when the alternative is having a hub I don't have to plug into my bundle full of power adapters and network boxes that lay just under my feet/desk. And even if it turns out that the hub runs like a complete turd on wifi, I can just connect it to ethernet if I need to.
I also read somewhere that the v3 hub has an extra 50 meters of range for devices, true or not?
From what I understand, there's 2 apps, new and old, (new sucks from what I read), but v3 hub can simply use the classic app.
There aren't any really detailed comparisons I could find on youtube, and seeing as how I've learned everything about smart things I know from comments here from slickdealers, I thought I'd ask.
So, keeping the above information in mind (wifi is preferable to battery backup, but can still go wired if need be), which route should I go?
Forgot to mention the specs, I guess v2 has more powerful hardware, but samsung says this doesn't really make a difference in the speed I can turn on/off devices/get notifications etc.
