Summary
Samsung’s SmartThings is rolling out new pricing for its smart home API, charging $4.99 monthly for individual developers and hobbyists — including Home Assistant users — who aren’t using it for business. The company claims this funding will boost platform stability, new device connectivity, and enterprise features. While aimed at supporting growth, the fee could reshape how tinkerers and DIY smart home enthusiasts interact with the ecosystem — and whether the upgrades justify the cost.
