To add to what @LadySapphy said, get yourself an Iris Smart Plug to act as a Zigbee repeater if your install location is far from your hub. Drove me nuts getting this thing paired without a repeater.
Anyone have experience with these controllers just not responding to the remote anymore? Oddly I have one that works perfectly with smartthings, and the other wont. The one that responds to smartthings, wont accept commands from the remote at all.
First thanks to all involved!!! I have been using Wink since day 1. I bought ST as a backup but never used it until today. Followed all instructions and everything is working great! Hopefully this wonât stop working with the fan like the Wink Hub 2 did.
Question / Problem: I see the option to dim the lights in the ST app, but it doesnât work. When it did work in Wink the dimming worked, but no matter what % the slider in ST is at the lights stay at the same brightness.
I ended up having to cycle through the dimmer (high to low, low to high) on the remote before SmartThings would figure out it could dim it. I had to do it on all 4 ceiling fans.
Damnâso basically I need to get ahold of at least one remote to get dimming working? UnfortunateâŠbut I was eventually going to pick one up I suppose
hey this works perfectly for me thanks! I have never used a device with âchildrenâ before but i got it working without too much problem. My only issue with this device wasnât even due to this app. Thereâs a dip-switch in the remote that disables dimming of the lights, and if itâs flipped, it stops dimming no matter if itâs from the app or the remote. I couldnât get dimming to work but that fixed it.
Hey everyone. I have been using this for a couple weeks now and it device handler itself works great. Like others have mentioned in this thread though, my fan stops responding to SmartThings frequently. To resolve this I cycle the power to the fan and it begins working again for about day until it fails again.
Has anyone found a good solution to this problem? My wife is getting rather annoyed with me and this fanâŠ
No issues with Zigbee range on my fans but has anyone noticed they stop running after a random amount of time? All 4 of mine do that. They report they are off and it does not look like ST is doing it from the logs.
Yep. They are on for a random amount of time and they stop. They start back up when I turn them back on but it is a random amount of time before they stop.
