For comparison, you can buy the C-7 hub directly from Hubitat [hubitat.com] for about the same price using the C7INTRO discount code, but it doesn't include the lighting kit in the above bundle. They may also add sales tax (see my note above), but either way it's not as good a deal.
- Sale price is $129.95 (regularly $149.95)
- Discount code SEPTEMBER10WELC takes off another 10%
- You may need to sign up for their mailing list via their website for the code to work, or it may work without signing up. Try it and let me know.
- FWIW, I wasn't charged sales tax. Your experience may differ. If it does, let me know the details and I can update this post.

Hubitat doesn't quite have as many integrations as Smartthings, but many of them can be ported over, and Hubitat is adding more native integrations weekly.

To be clear, I'm not endorsing this product. I've been following it for some time, but I haven't yet used it myself. I'm just sharing the best price I've seen on it to date for those who might be interested.
mostlycompletely unnecessary.However, if there are automations that SmartThings can't and almost certainly will never be able to handle due to its need to remain mostly plug-n-play, entry-level-user friendly, idiot-proof, remotely/automatically updateable by Samsung, etc., then this or another home automation solution might be of interest. Not slamming SmartThings at all -- in its lane, it's very good. It's worked well for us for years now. The knowledge and skills, the time commitment, the willingness to experiment and research, etc. necessary to use something like Hubitat, HomeAssistant/Hassio, Domoticz, Vera or any number of other solutions that are more flexible but significantly less user-friendly are certainly not things someone 99% happy with SmartThings would be expected to commit to just to mitigate that 1% unhappiness. But for someone who wants more flexibility or, like me, simply likes to fart around and learn new stuff, an option like this is a relatively affordable, low-risk way to see what else is out there and, hopefully, provide a more robust solution than SmartThings is designed to offer.
I'll also point out that SmartThings is hardly flawless. On average I get at least one message a week from SmartThings reporting some incident or other. A quick look at their incident history [smartthings.com] demonstrates why some people get frustrated with SmartThings's requisite cloud control and want a solution that works locally. There were at least 10 incidents last month; there have been two separate incidents today alone, and it's only the first day of the month.
I freely admit I don't understand the people who like to threadcrap on stuff like this. Just because YOU don't see the value in it for yourself doesn't mean that it doesn't have value. There's a big difference between "not a good product because it's made with shoddy materials and will break the first time you use it" and "what I have already meets my needs." But it's the internet and trolls gonna troll.
To be clear, I am not calling you out here, buell; I think your input above was very good and not TC. Just making a general comment while avoiding creating a separate post.

Perhaps it is mostly user preference but I find Hubitat much more flexible, intuitive and easier to configure everything from simple rules to complex state dependent controls. Not to mention it operates mostly local without the need for cloud access.
Without trying it yourself it is difficult for me to recommend switching, this is a choice you would have to make. But if buying new I would certainly recommend Hubitat to anyone that asked me.

So, I have been transitioning my toys to Hubitat. It's not as clean as ST, but I think it's the future.
When Internet is down or the service is discontinued (like Iris?), SmartThings which is cloud based is simply a brick.
Hubitat and other local hub that do not need Internet will continue to work even if the company is down because they don't rely on a cloud account.
