My smart apps and devices are failing randomly and frequently. ST just reported issues with Mobile App, logging was broken the last time I tried to debug some code. Scheduled events were reported to be broken a few days ago and they hardly ever work anyway. Polling has been broken ever since I b…

Did they explicitly state calendar year? When does the SmartThings fiscal year end?

the thing is the hardware is actually very solid. I am impressed with the hub bot the V1 and V2 have very solid designs. It’s the firmware and the server software that is the failure. and it’s all because they want to trade system complexity for user simplicity in programming. And you really ca…

[image] Ron: The new apps are attempting to do everything and I think that is a huge mistake. Then you definitely won’t like Rule Machine, as it will do a great many things, reliably. :grinning:

[image] bravenel: Then you definitely won’t like Rule Machine, as it will do a great many things, reliably LOL, were is the fun in reliable :slight_smile: OK maybe I should try it.

[image] Ron: I deleted the smart app which was configured to alert when the door was left open and now I can’t find it again to reinstall. Does anyone know where they moved this door left open notification smart app ? This (“alert when door left open”) function was (also?) a feature of the o…
