We will begin rolling out Samsung SmartThings Hub firmware version 0.37.04 starting Monday, June 14th. Once downloaded, your Hub will briefly go offline as it reboots and applies the update; most customers will experience less than one minute of downtime. We will update the status page when the release is complete.
Hub Target:
Samsung SmartThings Hub 2015 (Hub v2)
Samsung SmartThings Hub 2018 (Hub v3)
Aeotec Smart Home Hub
Release Date: 14 June 2021 ~ 18 June 2021
Note that this release may be spread out over a week, so you may not see your Hub update the first day of the release period.
Release Notes
Features
Zigbee Enhancements
Firmware update for the Schlage BE468GB
Z-Wave Enhancements
Auto “Ghost Node” Cleanup – ”Ghost Nodes” are Z-Wave Nodes that do not match with a device that exists in the SmartThings App. When a Ghost Node is removed, a hub event is observable in the SmartThings IDE: zw removed device: XX, where XX is the Z-Wave Node of the removed Ghost Node. Ghost Node deletion starts within 24 hours of a hub reboot or update and occurs periodically.
Where does this leave the Smartthings WiFi here in Australia.
Will it continue to be updated?
I notice that Aeotec give migration paths for V2 and V3 but no mention of WiFi version?
This is NOT a SmartThings only issue - it’s being reported on Zigbee 3.0 stacks on ST, HA and a few other platforms as well. I STRONGLY suspect it’s an Ikea problem in interoperating with Zigbee 3.0 - which means it’s Ikea’s problem to fix. ST just exposed it when they upgraded the Zigbee stack. Don’t expect it to be fixed fast at all…
“Working on it” could be telling ikea to make new firmware that fixes it or putting a workaround in the hub firmware. If it’s the former it could take a while.
I have the pleasantries of figuring out why ALL of my Phillips LED’s stopped working today (Hub updated … today … ) and my thermostat fell off also. The IDE shows the LEDs checking in …
“[Kitchen LED 2] ZigBee RGBW Bulb xxxxxxxxxxx xxxx ONLINE” Local moments ago
Thermostat simply says 'Offline" now, and is no longer listed in the IDE, i.e. totally gone. Button in app is still around though, but offline. Buttons for LEDs are present also and ‘appear’ to register when turned on/off.
This new app is proving to be trash … again.
Going to reboot it again, even though the firmware has appeared to do just that today. I’d rather not have to re-add a bunch of things :(.
Eho’, hard restart ftw. Better than re-adding things. However, not ideal if I was out of town.
Not to be an ass and leave nothing, here is what I have and firmware:
Status
ACTIVE
Firmware Version
000.037.00004
Hardware Version
Hub v2 US
Lastly, this is the first time in around five years i’ve unplugged this thing. Its been living on a rather large data rack UPS, and has never had power interrupted. It HAS rebooted for firmware updates regularly, but never a hard power down. To be fair, that isn’t horrible for a device at all.
WOW! I can’t toggle any of my virtual switches when I got home today. I did notice they pushed that latest firmware update to my SmartThings Hub while I was out. I guess I’ll try rebooting the Hub to see if I can get my virtual switches to work again.
Hum, I got in the IDE to reboot the Hub, but it didn’t work. The SmartThings app still works since I can toggle STHM, and all of my physical devices. Just not the virtual switches. Funny thing is I can toggle the Alexa virtual switches. Weird!
After I power cycle it, my virtual switches are working again. Strange…
Immediately subsequent to the firmware update I received yesterday, Smarthings lost the ability to control any and all of my connected smart lights and associated automations. The reporting shows online for each device, but once actions are run in the app or via IFFT, the action is not performed.
Update:
Hard reset seems to have fixed it - i.e. pulling out batteries and such.
