--- title: Samsung SmartThings date: 2016-05-30 10:05:03 permalink: https://lesterchan.net/blog/2016/05/30/samsung-smartthings/ author: Lester Chan categories: - Internet of Things tags: - Amazon - Samsung - SmartThings - Z-Wave - Zigbee --- On 29th March 2016, [SmartThings was having a 20% discount off](http://www.androidpolice.com/2016/03/29/deal-alert-save-20-on-all-smartthings-products-as-part-of-spring-sale/) most of their products as part of their Spring sale. They are having the sale once again till 4th June 2016 as part of [Memorial Day](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memorial_Day) remembrance. The offer is valid on both [SmartThings Online Store](https://shop.smartthings.com/) as well as [Amazon](http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-SmartThings/b/ref=bl_dp_s_web_12720042011?ie=UTF8&node=12720042011). I bought my items from Amazon because they qualify for the [free AmazonGlobal Saver Shipping](https://lesterchan.net/blog/2013/06/10/amazon-now-ships-to-singapore-for-free-for-orders-above-usd125/) program. I split my shipment into two because any amount more than S$400 (including shipping) will get a 7% Goods and Services Tax (GST) in Singapore. In my first shipment, I just bought the [SmartThings Home Monitoring Kit](https://shop.smartthings.com/#!/kits/samsung-smartthings-home-monitoring-kit) ([Amazon](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B010NZV14U)) for **US$199 (S$270)**. The kit includes: - [SmartThings Hub](https://shop.smartthings.com/#!/products/samsung-smartthings-hub) ([Amazon](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B010NZV0GE)) - [SmartThings Outlet](https://shop.smartthings.com/#!/products/samsung-smartthings-outlet) ([Amazon](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MI5V5N6)) - 2x [SmartThings Multipurpose Sensor](https://shop.smartthings.com/#!/products/samsung-smartthings-multipurpose-sensor) ([Amazon](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0118RQW3W/)) - [SmartThings Motion Sensor](https://shop.smartthings.com/#!/products/samsung-smartthings-motion-sensor) ([Amazon](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0118RQWYQ)) In my second shipment, I bought two [SmartThings Arrival Sensor](https://shop.smartthings.com/#!/products/samsung-smartthings-arrival-sensor) ([Amazon](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GM7V8I8)) at US$23.99 (S$33) each and three [SmartThings Multipurpose Sensor](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0118RQW3W) at US$31.99 (S$43.37) each. This totals to **US$143.95 (S$196)**. In total, my initial SmartThings project for my new home cost: US$199 + US$143.95 = US$342.95 (S$466). I am going to place the Multipurpose Sensors at my main door and at all the windows. This should let me know if I forgot to close them or if there is any break-in.
