@slagle is there any way to turn off the Super LAN Connect stuff? Or at least plans to make it optional? > [@Warning: new lan discovery feature in 2.3 (thread closed by ST)](https://community.smartthings.com/t/warning-new-lan-discovery-feature-in-2-3/80692): > > All, there is a new “feature” in the latest mobile app version 2.3. It is not stated up front, but this new lan discovery automatically adds all discovered devices without the ability to exclude them. Even after you manually remove something it discovers, simply going back into add a device will add it back in. Why is this an issue? Well, smartthings logs everything immediately and you may not be aware a device it quietly added in the background is now logging all its usage to the cloud without your knowledge. This should be made much more clear to end users and should allow you to add the devices or exclude them, instead they opted to add them all automatically. Just my two cents. ---

@Aaron and @slagle. There’s definitely been progress on fixing (kind of) text formatting and rendering issues, but something new came up. On smaller screen phones, anything more than 2 lines drops off, and custom icons become super duper tiny: **Note 5:** ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/smartthings/original/3X/9/2/922eff92b1d079f57cc81c33a524e10eba49e451.png) and a smaller screen: **S4:** ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/smartthings/original/3X/4/3/43820340d31d658f358afacb0a0ad47ac237cc08.png) ---

Can we finally set a dim level per light in Routines? This has been missing and wanted for a very long time. ---

> [@farlicimo](#): > > What does the green vs blue on status indicate? From what I can tell, at least with my devices, is that an in-wall device like a GE switch that does nothing but turn on/off, it shows up green. Any device like a Smart Plug that also reports energy usage shows up blue. Bulbs are also blue, and I have no idea why that would be. I guess we’ll have to wait to see what ST says about these changes. ---

Definitely not liking the tiny text look… Previously: ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/smartthings/original/3X/b/5/b535edc08aff26ffb63c22ecedad69a6b85192ac.png) Now: ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/smartthings/original/3X/a/6/a60458a773855bd5798c37e70bc05b41b2e96570.png) You’re going on the wrong direction especially for those of us who are struggling with small text. ---

I like the way the icons look now… No more cartoon icons. ---

As one of those old blind folks, I think the 2.3 text & icons are actually crisper & easier to actually read. ---

I agree. Nice to see pages refresh with the text and icons in the correct locations (no more jumping). I like the new layout. ---

Interesting, on the Add a thing page there’s now a comment about adding an Echo. There’s no echo listed in addable devices (similar to adding a Google Home). I’m wondering if it’s a 1. Typo 2. Inactivated feature 3. Someone confused the smartapp with a device ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/smartthings/original/3X/3/b/3b7fffef7ca4a45ceb9be30535fd9ef37443cb46.PNG) ---

Nice catch. Can we all dream that it is because we will soon be able to send commands to Alexa devices ? On an Alexa related note. While I haven’t tried YET, in Alexa ST app it still says Good night, Good bye routines are disabled because they include locking the doors. ---

Yes, other than this, the new app is an across the board positive step. Unfortunately, this one negative is huge. Also, I’m now getting an error trying to back-up app data: ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/smartthings/original/3X/0/d/0de25dd0b11805c778841a6498d9cb7036494b8b.jpg) Please ask the Android development team to fix these two items. ---

I’m looking at a similar discussion on reddit /r/smartthings. People are reporting things like a zwave relay and the harmony hub showing as blue. Would like to hear a definitive answer on this. [Next page](https://community.smartthings.com/t/android-2-3-0-release-notes/80704.md?page=2)
