付費 SmartThings API 方案
Samsung 推出收費版 SmartThings API 方案
三星為其 SmartThings API 引入付費層級，宣布推出全新每月 5 美元的方案，適用於非商業用途的個人開發者，旨在將公司智能家居開發者平台的存取權限貨幣化。此項改動旨在協助資助企業級功能，以及即將推出的開發者中心（Developer Center）樞紐，三星同時計劃擴展整合功能及使用數據洞察，協助開發者優化自身程式碼。
新收費機制主要影響使用 Home Assistant 等第三方平台的開發者，以及採用自訂智能家居自動化流程的用戶，而核心 SmartThings 應用程式的體驗則維持不變。此收費機制將於 10 月起實施，在此之前 API 存取權限仍維持免費。
對消費者而言，這項新收費可能為依賴第三方整合的自製智能家居設置，帶來額外的持續性開支。此舉反映出平台供應商將進階開發者工具及服務納入訂閱模式背後的更廣泛趨勢。
英文原文
Samsung introduced a paid tier for its SmartThings API, announcing a new $5 monthly plan for non-commercial individual developers designed to monetize access to the company's smart home developer platform. The change is intended to help fund enterprise-grade features and a forthcoming Developer Center hub, with Samsung also planning expanded integrations and usage insights to help developers optimize their code.
The new pricing primarily affects developers using third-party platforms such as Home Assistant and users with custom smart home automations, while the core SmartThings app experience remains unchanged. The rollout begins in October, with API access remaining free until then.
For consumers, the new fee could add recurring costs for DIY smart home setups that rely on third-party integrations. The move reflects the broader trend of platform providers placing advanced developer tools and services behind subscription models.
