it could be useful to someone using their TV as a smart home hub and wanting to add zigbee support

I wonder if these can be used as a zigbee router in an established Zigbee network, like Z2M or ZHA?

What we really need from Samsung is a dongle that adds back Z-Wave (after they got bribed to discriminate against that best-in-class HA protocol).

I have a bunch of urlhasbeenblocked zigbee products and they (the company, not the products) disappeared off the face of the earth. The hub was now a hockey puck. I wouldn't be surprised if Samsung ever killed all SmartThings product. I will only use Home Assistant and products that work with HA going forward.

I have a Smartthings v2 hub sitting unused in case my primary v2 dies and I need to replace it, because it had more memory for devices than the updated V3. (I added a V3 to my network to have the option to add matter thread devices, but so far haven't found anything worth adding that way since it would require automations using matter and zwave/zigbee devices (which are on my primary hub) to execute through the cloud instead of locally.
My predominantly zwave devices have always seemed more stable than zigbee, so I agree that it was a loss when they seemed to move away from zwave.
Eventually I may just migrate everything to home assistant.

I use v2. Does it not do zwave now?

Still works and always (probably) will until it dies or becomes incompatible because of further villainous behavior by Samsung. Migrating to Home Assistant isn't the answer, because SmartThings is far superior mostly since it's universal/ubiquitous in use. But Samsung got bribed by Zigbee and especially the Matter alliance who pulled the typical Apple Corporation dumbing down of everything, dumping us back into Wi-Fi unlicensed 2.4GHz hell.

Not the best solution, but I'm increasingly incorporating SwitchBot devices because of its hub's Bluetooth protocol that shares Z-Wave's low-power characteristic -- integrated with SmartThings.
