Welcome to the SmartThings RainMachine wiki! SmartThings - The Heart of Your Smart Home SmartThings lets you control and monitor your home using your smartphone from anywhere in the world. You can secure your home for a fraction of the cost of a traditional home security system; stay connected to loved ones wherever you are; save money on energy costs; and control and automate lights, locks, temperature, electronics, and more to create a smart home that automatically reacts to your preferences and gives you peace of mind.

How? It all starts with the SmartThings Hub.

Once you download the free SmartThings app, you can use your smartphone as a remote to monitor and control all of the smart lights, locks, cameras, appliances, and other sensors in your home from wherever you are. The SmartThings Hub acts as a messenger. When your connected devices have important things to tell you (“Sara’s home!” “Someone left the front door open!” “There’s unexpected motion by the back door!”), the Hub will relay that information to your smartphone. As long as you have a Hub, you can add as many SmartThings-compatible devices as you like to create a fully connected home.

Ethernet-connected Hub plugs directly into your Internet router and supports ZigBee, Z-Wave as well as IP-accessible devices. It includes a power cord and is compatible with hundreds of smart devices today and even more in the future.

The free SmartThings app is available to download for iOS, Android, and Windows.
