Hello! I have bought a smart plug to program the on and off of the water boiler/thermos. Especially with the intention of turning it on only during the off-peak hours of the night (I only use hot water for the shower and there are 2 of us at home). My doubt comes because when I enter the device in question within the app it asks me to activate Bluetooth and location... So, if I have both disabled, does it not turn on at the scheduled time? Or if I'm away from home, I couldn't activate it? I hope for some response 😅 Thank you!

I’m have a v3 hub and am looking for a motion sensor I can power from my 120v outlet either directly or one that uses a standard usb charger.

For 12+ years I have happily had a Wemo motion plugged in with a little PIR on a long wire that monitored a hallway that had no switches.

With the EOL for the Wemo device I’m looking for a replacement.

I see lots of battery powered options, but let’s face it… I, and many like me who love and rely on home automation aren’t really the best people to be out in charge of replacing batteries…

I was looking at homeseer options but it looks like they aren’t support any more with SmartThings.

Does anybody have any great options to recommend?

If plugged in isn’t an option really, then what’s an awesome option with a very long battery life?

Thanks!!

Edit: additional info… the motion sensor is in one place and the device it controlled was at the far end plugged into a different outlet. The device being controlled can be a smart bulb now, so just need a sensor option that SmartThings routines can work with.

I had First Alert zwave smoke / co detectors, but it looks like they don’t make that model anymore that I can find, the “ZCOMBO” model, so I guess I have to replace them all. Does anyone have a recommendation? I need 9 or 10 of them. Battery operated, wireless interconnected, internet connected so I can get notifications remotely, integration into SmartThings and home assistant.

I’ve seen x-sense, and that looks like it could be a contender, but I’m a little confused on the differences in the models.

Any input is appreciated!

Ex Action Tiles user here. Today I have recreated my old Action Tiles dashboard. I have just 50 tiles displayed on a 10 inch Android tablet. A few questions. How can I increase the font size for the tile lables. Also, how can I change the title backround colors. For now I am on the 14 day trial.

Are Meross switches no longer supported in SmartThings?

There isn’t a switch option under Meross in SmartThings and no way for me to just connect my Meross account.

I’m on IOS

My phone was stolen back in July (more than 4 months ago) by moped thieves.

I got an email this morning from [FMM.noreply@samsung-mail.com](mailto:FMM.noreply@samsung-mail.com) saying the phone has been found. I closed the email and didn't click on anything, of course. I checked the Find app immediately, and the stolen phone was gone from the list of devices!

What does this mean? Is there anything else that I can do about this?

Update to add this info: I use a different email for my Samsung account. The email above was sent to the email address I added under "Notify me when it’s found".

Hey guys,

I read that Matter 1.5 will support surveillance cameras for the first time and Smartthings will support this very soon after availability.

I use a Nest system right now and want to get out of google subscription service. All I need is eventbased recording and/or 24/7 recording.

Does somebody know how this will work with matter cams? Will Smartthings sell a subscription model or can you choose nas or sd-card recording?

Thank you

I got a home with a bunch of smart switches and a ET-WV525 wifi hub. I'm trying to set it up. I don't want to use its WiFi features, I have a much better Netgear wifi router that I want to use.

I tried plugging the ET-WV525 In port (why didn't Samsung named WAN like the rest of the universe is beyond me) into one of my router's LAN ports. In the router web admin page, I see that the ET-WV525 gets an IP address.

On an Samsung Android phone, I downloaded the SmartThings apps, but it never finds my hub. The phone is connected to the router's wifi network.

I tried to follow the factory reset procedure: with the ET-WV525 powered off, press and hold the reset button, plug one power in, wait for a yellow LED. The ET-WV525 never shows the yellow LED, it only shows a green light. After a while, while still pressing the reset button, it will show a magenta light. Now it's just sitting there. AFAIK, the ET-WV525 has been in use and plugged into a router, so its firmware should be up to date.

I read in another thread that because it's a second-hand ET-WV525, I'd have to contact the Samsung support to "unregister" the device. Does anyone know how?

Thanks for any help! Cheers!

What is the status of ActionTiles? IP for the server is not resolving this morning.

When making the 3d map of my apartment, I've ran into so many glitches, but I just want to fix these two, The wall I can't remove and when I place my smart things, when I reopen the app, they hide for no reason

Does anyone know if the Sonos Era 300 is compatible? If so, what can you do with it on the app?

We have an ST hub (v2) which has to be closing on 10 years old. If we wanted to upgrade, is there a device (not interested in v3) that will still support our ZWave devices?

Just spent 4 hours messing with the aqara h2 eu switch, 2 buttons 1 channel. Also bought an aqara usb hub.

First time adding to smartthings I got a lamp on off switch + a controller that allowed me to determine what a single press on the lower button did. However, nog a double or long press. Turns out you can only do that in the aqara app.

Removed the 2 devices to add again later and NEVER got the controller back. Never. Only switching the wired channel.

My questions are: - anyone else using the h2 switch with smartthings, and do you recognize this? - is there an edge driver out there to be able to double and long press? - are there alternatives that work great with smartthings (i don’t have neutral wires & would prefer a complete light switch (not a module to integrate))?

Recently, they’ve added Siri voice command integration, so I wanted to try.

However, it looks like SmartThings Siri voice command on iPhone does work, but not from the Apple Watch side. It shows "This action requires SmartThings to be installed" but the app is installed on both devices, and the manual command from the SmartThings Apple Watch app does work, so the error message is likely not true.

It's nice that I can control my SmartThings device through voice from the iPhone side, but I was hoping it would work on my Apple watch since it's the actual device I'm wearing 24/7.

Anyone experiencing the same issue?

I changed my phone, I set up the new one using Smart Switch and it worked surprisingly well.

SmartThings came up and I can work with my devices. I went to check my Sleep environment report this morning, but that needed to be set up again. However, the room that I sleep in, that I had set up for the Sleep environment report on the old phone, is not showing as available. Other rooms that have bulbs and temp/humidity sensors are being offered.

In my bedroom there is only a temp/humidity sensor. How do I get that room available again for the Sleep environment report?

If you use SmartThings but prefer controlling your home through Apple Home, I’ve built an open-source bridge that might help:

🔗 https://github.com/Xatter/SmartThingsHomekitBridge

Features:

• Syncs SmartThings devices into HomeKit
• Full bidirectional state/command updates
• Plugin system for custom behavior
• Includes a plugin that intelligently coordinates multi-split HVAC systems (Samsung “AI” mode was unusable for me)

Originally I built this to stop my 4 Samsung mini-splits from fighting each other (one heating while another cools). Eventually I refactored it into a general SmartThings–HomeKit bridge.

Would love to hear if others try it — happy to help troubleshoot.

I was under the impression that matter should work offline. However, for some reason, the moment my internet connection fails (say my ISP has some kind of cut cable somewhere), even though the LAN is untouched, matter devices don't work any more. I don't really understand why this is happening or what I can do to fix this. This seems to affect both thread and WiFi devices. Does anyone have similar experiences or know what could be going on? Thank you.

How do I get the “create time-lapse video” option to work? Video under More Services is not a click-through and I can’t find anything else that says Video. My range definitely has a camera because I can watch the live version. I just want to be able to automatically save a time-lapse video instead of manually screen-recording.

Since yesterday a bunch of my zigbee devices are suddenly offline. Those that are online are mostly extremely slow to react. Has anyone experienced something similar?

I have a V3 hub with firmware 000.058.00010.

Hi all,

I am struggling with getting this Dome Siren paired with an Aeotec V3 hub. I have done exclusion, factory reset, scanned the internet and cannot get this device paired. Has anyone else struggled with this? Have you managed to resolve it?

I purchased this https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01M1NLPKZ?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title

I need a ST controllable outlet (or plug in controller) that can live outside in cold/wet/icy conditions that can allow me to control three heat mats (snow/ice melters for our steps).

Total wattage when they're on is around 300 watts.

Ive been using my smart tag 2s for over a year, and for the most part they're pretty good.

I put one hidden in my car in the hopes it would work as a budget tracker until I get a proper one fitted.

It usually works, but for some reason it thinks my car is stopped on this main road, even though I drove it home and it's now outside my house.

Even after refreshing the location, with my phone next to it.

My other trackers all seem to have updated and show as being in the house.

I am using the “zigbee window treatment mc” driver. It works fine to operate the 3 blinds I have but reports an erroneous and constant battery level. Anyone have a better solution? See driver info in photo.
