Hello everyone,
My name is Maurice and I am new to this community and SmartThings. Today I received my Aeotec SmartThings hub and I followed all the steps to connect the hub to the SmartThings app. It must have gone correctly because it updated and finally shows a solid green light (which indicates connected). When I open the app I see the hub but as “offline.” I have tried to reset the hub did the whole process several times and tried both connection through wifi and ethernet but always same situation with solid green light and offline. I have also restarted my router and still no success. What am I doing wrong? Did I miss something?
Thanks in advance for your help.

login to IDE @ https://account.smartthings.com and go to the hubs section and see if the hub is showing online there. report back

Yes I just saw your post. Thanks for that. I will just have to be patient I guess.
It’s not just you. This has now been posted to the status page as well.
Many different people in both the US and UK reporting that many different kinds of devices, both physical and virtual, are showing as online in the groovy platform, including the IDE, but off-line in the app. This is happening to devices that were added recently, regardless of the type of device and regardless of whether it previously worked. So far it has been reported for some Z wave devices, some zigbee devices, and several different types of virtual devices.
No idea what the problem is, and no workarounds have been reported yet, but it’s definitely real.
Here’s one thread with particularly good screenshots. Note that the devices affected include one mains powered and one battery powered Z wave device, both using a stock DTH.
If this is a physical device usi…

I’m curious if Anyone still has the offline problem. My new Aeotec persists in reading “offline” in the app. I’ve tried everything.
When I first set it up it was online, but it absolutely wouldn’t discover any of my Cree bulbs, each of which I dutifully reset.
So I rebooted the hub and now I can’t even get it to show that it’s online.
I see that the powers say the offline issue has been resolved, but not for me.
Suggestions?
