SMARTTHING TRACKER

SmartThings has always been an awesome home/work automation platform.  They've recently released a brand new GPS tracker that not only tracks your asset but also triggers home/work automations upon that asset entering and/or leaving a predetermined zone.  Two cool things put into one device.  Let's check it out.




PROs - small design,  entering and/or leaving automations,  SOS feature, Tracking Log, Multiple ways to refresh the location,  power saving mode


CONs -  LTE Cat.M1 chip might not work in 3G & 2G areas (based on my research about the chip, so I'm not 100% sure), non-replaceable battery, no buzzer,  micro usb (should be USB C or wireless for 2018),  no auto on (if it loses power and you recharge it, you'll have to turn it back on manually)
