I have a new smartthings hub that I got around a week ago. I was not able to set it up due to the network issue currently going on in north America. It is the v3 model. Does anyone know an ETA on when this issue will be fixed, or a work around. I got the hub to be integrated as a security system but I can get past the initial setup. Samsung’s customer support just said I have to “sit and wait”. I’m trying to see if if I just need to return this one and get the v2 instead. Thanks in advance.
Do you have a support ticket #?
There is a workaround via an older APK.

No I called in to phone support and the tech had me go step by step through the reboot process, he did put me on hold and came back and said he talked to a colleague who confirmed it’s not just my hub, it’s a known issue. At that point that is when he said it’s an issue where I have to just sit and wait on a resolution. I’ll check my email to see if they sent anything in regards to the conversation
If you are hitting the error identified on the status page, support can provide you a link to a previous version of the Android app. You can reach out to them and let them know which version of Android you have so they can provide a link to the appropriate version of the SmartThings apk.

Ok.the error I am having is the hub continues to blink red and green. It gets stuck at 48 percent which is right after you select wifi or ethernet and it begins to try to connect. He had me check which version of smartthings I am using and said that I have to use the new app. The one that has the icon with the 6 rings. But I will try and contact them again to see if they can walk me through using the older app.
That is a different issue then. For the issue mentioned on the status page you would receive an error of “Hub not found” after entering the serial number or scanning the code.

Ok yes, it’s a different issue…its like the hub wont communicate… but the weird thing is if I open the 6 ring smartthings app, the turn on the hub, it pops up and asks me if I want to install it,but then the cycle starts back over. It will cycle green and red. The app will tell me I need to reset the hub. And if i let the green and red keep blinking for an extended time it will just go solid blue. Also, thanks again for taking time out to review my issue
Are you getting a message of “Hub not reset”? I didn’t realize but apparently that can be a way this manifests. I ran a query and don’t think you’re hitting this issue but you can DM me your hub’s serial number and I can double check.

Yes that is the error I’m getting even after I reset it multiple times.
I’m having 2 issues. One…got a new Hub 2018 and it won’t register. Went through the process numerous times, including typing in the serial number. Just says “registration failed.” And the 2nd issue is with Alexa. Trying to enable/link it in the Alexa app. Says it’s enabled BUT there is no way to link the Hub. There is no tab to type in your password to link it up. VERY frustrating…
Yes im called and emailed, the final consensus is still I have to wait for a solution

Hello my name is Eric haynes, I was directed to you from the smartthings community forum to inquire about an issue I was having with setting my hub up. My serial number that I have the issues listed on the status page. He said that I should be able to get an app version that would be compatible with my version of android as a work around. I currently continue to get the hub needs to be reset loop. The green and red lights continue to blink, and my progress bar will not go past 48%. I appreciate your help in resolving the matter. I just got the hub less than 2 weeks ago and I have not been able to get through the setup process to date. Serial number is xxxxxxxxxxx

OK…contacted support for both, Samsung and Alexa. With the Hub 2018, it is registered when it is connected. They don’t “register” it like an appliance. As far as Alexa, to get to the linking up of ST, you need to tap “disable” first, then enable it. That will bring you to the PW page to link it up to the Hub. It will discover all the devices in the Hub. It all worked out. Just wish Samsung would explain that better
