Hey guys/gals what’s the future for WebCore and Groovy?
SmartThings selling to Aeotech and phasing out Groovy.
Is it worth investing my time to learn (WebCore) and purchase ST & devices?
Or head in different direction?
Thanks
What is future of WebCore?

correction- ST is not selling themselves to Aeotec. ST is licensing the manufacture and selling of the hub in the EU market. This allows them to expand support in that region.
ST will still manage the cloud and all firmware updates.
They will probably announce other partnerships in the future as they move away from the hardware side.
Groovy is not set to be phased out until late 2021. Before that happens, they will offer a new API and alternatives for groovy device handlers and smartapps.
