Samsung is getting rid of free API access and moving to a paid-only model later this year.

Free Access Through September 2026: Free API access will remain fully available throughout September 2026.

New usage limits and the phase-out of free access will not begin until October 2026.

Of course, they're giving you the ability pay them for the privilege of accessing your own devices. Yay.

For those using our APIs for personal smart home configurations, we are introducing a dedicated $4.99-per-month paid plan starting in October 2026
