    Javascript/NodeJS SDK to create SmartThings SmartApps

    • I like the looks of the SmartThings ecosystem as there's an official Node.js SDK available. It gets major points for me too as it allows me to utilize any back end service I want -- I'm something of a tinfoil hat wearer, and strongly dislike the idea of using Samsung / Google / Amazon / etc. servers in my home automation. That will likely be a breaking point for me, as I currently have no Alexa / Google Home / etc. services and am hoping to keep it that way.
