Power users who built SmartThings integrations using webhook-based SmartApps for their own homes are getting caught in this including the Home Assistant integration.
These aren't apps being sold or shared. Samsung already removed the ability for personal SmartApps to be shared with other users, so these integrations are tied to a single account and exist solely to automate that user's own devices.
Now the new plan is $5/month from individual users for something that does maybe 1,000 API calls a month.
Paying $60/year just to receive webhook events from my own smart home has to be one of the Dystopian decisions only samsung can come up with. Nothing less than a FUCK YOU CHARGE
"Why am I paying $60 a year for webhooks?"
Samsung: "Because fuck you, that's why."
