500 error on OAuth Autorization

[SteveTheGeek (Steve Tremblay)]

Hi, since a couple of days, I’m now getting a 500 error any time I tried to authorize devices with Smartthings OAuth. This broke my connection between Smartthings and Harmony and makes it impossible for me to enable IFTTT…

Am I the only one having this now ? I see it hapened before, but I haven’t seen recent posts on the forum about it ?

Problems connecting from IFTTT (February 2017)

I recently bought my first SmartThings hub (v2) in a kit with two lightify a19 bulbs. So far everything is working great and i can control the lights from the app or my Google Home. However I also wanted to try integrating with IFTTT --but every time i try to connect from ifttt it fails. I’m going to https://ifttt.com/smartthings where I click connect, enter my ST credentials and then get a screen where I select my location and get a list of devices. I check my bulbs under switches and click authorize. And I get message on the next screen that says “Could not connect SmartThings” and ifttt doesn’t let me use SmartThings in recipes – it acts as if I’ve never logged in. I can see IFTTT under Smartapps now in the app on my phone too, but again IFTTT acts as if it can’t see anything. Any ide…

Make sure you report it to support.
