Hi guys,
trying to set up a lighting automation to switch on a light 45 mins before sunset - but i cant see any way to enter the - sign in the app.
This is what I see (Android & New ST App).
I tried copy pasting the text “-45” from elsewhere, but when I paste it only puts in 45 and ignores the -.
How do I enter a “-” please?
It shows in iOS. One possible workaround could be to type it elsewhere such as note pad and copy/paste it into that field. I am not familiar with Android so that may or may not work.
OK,
I tried copy pasting -45 and it only pasted 45. I tried just copy pasting - and it worked.
Well, its entered anyway - lets see if it actually works!
The other curious thing is that, despite having the decimal point, it doesn’t accept any number but 0 after it. It turns red then grey if you try it.
Which keyboard are you using? I’m using Gboard on both my S7 & Tab A and have no problem entering a negative offset.
I couldn’t get a screenshot of the keypad overlay but snapped a pic with my tablet.
I didnt know you could choose a keyboard - its just the one that appeared - its a Galaxy S9.
It doesnt being up the standard Samsung keyboard - it must be something in the App?
I agree. Samsung Smartthings really SHOULD work with the Samsung keyboard. I just changed my default keyboard from Google Gboard to the Samsung stock keyboard and I didn’t have the minus symbol either. I changed it back to Gboard and I can enter negative numbers. If you need the capability you could install Gboard until it’s fixed. I’m going to let support know there is a bug.
There appears to be a bug with regards to the new app and entering negative offsets for smartlighting automations. When using the default keyboard(Samsung keyboard) on a Galaxy device, there is no minus key for entering negative offsets. If you use Gboard on the Galaxy device, the minus key is present.
ST knows about this bug.
