Controlling things across 3 hubs

Devices & Integrations
21

For “view and control” of Things across Locations or even across Accounts, on one or more dashboard Panels, you’ll find ActionTiles to be helpful, as we allow mix & match of Things from any Location (Hub) very easily. ActionTiles consolidates your Things in our Cloud.

Unfortunately, for automations, as mentioned, SmartThings currently limits a single SmartApp instance to access Things only from a single Location. I’d bet CoRE can (or could be enhanced) to get around this limitation by implementing http REST-API endpoints for multiple SmartApp instances to talk directly to each other. I’m rather confident it can do this already.

Webcore can do it, as detailed in option 3.4 in the how to article linked to upthread. :wink:

However, in order to have all the devices show up on the things list for both locations, you have to create virtual proxy devices and it gets to be quite a bit of work to set it up. Also, it introduces some additional lag, so far tested at around two seconds. So again, it can be done, but it’s not simple. :sunglasses:
