I have the Amazon Echo and the Philips Hue along with the Smart Things.
2 Questions:
1: How do you connect/link your Android? My Smart Home Monitor says ‘unconfigured’ no matter what I do in the app. All I have are door sensors, motion sensor and a keychain.
2: How do you set up a routine? I have a keychain and would like some lights to come on when I get home and I am going to get a Sonos and would like something played each time I come home. How do you set this up?
I’m sorry, I don’t use Android. On the configure issue, your best bet is to write to support@smartthings.com and they should be able to help you get all of your devices connected to your network properly.
As far as routines, try this:
(March 2018: All of the following applies only to the SmartThings Classic app. If you purchased your hub after March 1, 2018 and are using the new “SmartThings (Samsung Connect)” app, creating rules works differently.)
You’ve got your hub. You’ve got some devices. Now how do you schedule what happens when?
SmartThings doesn’t have a rules engine/scheduler, so there’s no one tutorial for how to do this. But it’s an open platform, and there are about 12 different ways to set up various kinds of schedules. Some require custom code, some don’t.
A “scheduler” in this context is anything that causes a networked device to perform an action, even if it’s just to toggle on or off immediately. (Network engineering definition, forgive me.
