Iām also having a similar issue with the globe suite bulbs from the Source in Canada. Awesome they (GS) are making progress and almost there.
My issue has been resolved, my devices showed up in ST. Let me automation begin : )
I have redone the add GS from within Smartthings and now the bulbs show up in ST. Yay!
I was looking at buying Globe products in Uk, but it looks like thereās only a couple of things in Amazon and thatās all.
Can somebody point me in the right direction if there is one ?
Can I resync my smartlife/tuya bulbs to the globe suite app and integrate it into smartthings instead of using a virtual switch through IFTTT to set automations? I see that tuya/smartlife has cut ties with IFTTT so I am trying to figure out another way to integrate these bulbs and plugs.
Unfortunately, no. During the beta., It was possible to use some third-party brands, but once they locked it down for official release the globe suite integration Will only work with Devices of their own brand.
Wow. Well thatās that⦠I am going to have to toss these and go with TP-Link Kasa devices. Should have known better when I was trying to save a few bucks that it wouldāve cost me more in the long run and waste more of my time.
Iām currently using Alexa instead of IFTTT for the workaround automation. Donāt know if you use her, but I assume that Google Home also has the same capabilities.
- Unfortunately, no: google home does not (yet) have the same capabilities because it does not yet have advanced routines like Alexa does.
They have said they will be adding more capabilities this year, but not there yet. as always, the first rule of home automation applies: āthe model number matters.ā That applies to voice assistants as well. So the sooner you get out of the habit of assuming that other models will work the same way, the easier your life will be.
- I already replied to you with this in a different thread, but just be aware that there are goofy things happening with the Alexa skill right now:
Goodness me, take a chill pill Mr Roberts, the comment youāre referring to was gently qualified with an āI assumeā therefore clearly not purporting to be speaking from Mosesā tablet of HA commandments, this forum is a place for everyone, not just Oracleās of infinite wisdom such as yourself.
Iām really confused. I assume that you must have read something different than I did from @JDRoberts because I didnāt see anything in what he said that was deserving of your response.
Well, i got the ecobee with Alexa setup. Made some alexa virtual switches in ST and linked them up in Alexa. Works perfectly. Just saved my off-brand switches and lights from being useless.
Thanks for your help again.
Congrats! Iām so glad that little guide was able to help!
Ditto @lflorack that was weird⦠got all religious on probably the most helpful individual here. @JDRoberts please donāt let one-offs demotivate you from helping out here. We all truly appreciate it!
Having said that, I definitely agree with the notions above that Globe Suite app should lock out 3rd party devices in the same manner as they treat SmartThings. Why āteaseā users with mobile app support of 3rd parties but then block that same support to ST⦠kinda of a strange to do that and sends a mixed message to users.
However, Iām a guy that canāt even get past the auth screen. Constantly getting āInvalid username or passwordā though I just registered and successfully in the mobile app, logged in, then out, then back in to be sure. Also changed pwds to make sure Iām not crazy. @Globe whatās the best way to get support on just the auth process as itās failing me non-stop but the mobile app works?
So Iāve read through this thread and am somewhat confused. Iāve connected my Globe Suite app to my devices and as you can see by the attached photo in the Globe Suite they are there. I can control them from the Globe app. When I go into SmartThings and try to connect them, I see the āSuccessfully connectedā message but no actual devices show up anywhere. Is this the same issue with not having Globe Suite branded devices or something else? I thought my Tuya brand lights were part of the Globe Suite companies so they should work. What am I missing, please? Thanks!!!
Does this integration include the Globe brand sensors?
agenovese820 I donāt think you are āpunching your neighborā. I think neighbors should be nice to one another and share sugar as well as parking. Maybe you can help me with my problem. I have some Tuya bulbs. I think because bought them on Amazon and I had no clue these apps and bulbs didnāt play nice together all the time. I can control them on the Globe app but they donāt work on the Smart Things. I wish I could have everything in one place. Do you know how I can get these bulbs to work on Smart Things? If not, I am ready to buy bulbs that will. Can you suggest a brand? Or Better yet, is there a similar app to Smart Things were all āneighborsā play well together?
Iām not sure if Iām in the right forum, but at the risk of being vilified for posting incorrectly, here goes.
Iāve had GE switches everywhere in my house in Mexico. These are all neutral wired and work perfectly. Now that I have returned to the UK I want the same here. The UK doesnāt generally have neutral wires in the switches so GE is not an option. However, I found a company www.wifi-smart-home.co.uk that claim to have UK specific switches without a neutral. I spoke to them before buying and they confirmed that they use the Tuya/Globe app and so work with SmartThings. Iāve now had one fitted and it works with the Globe app, but since I took them at their word, Iām now discovering that they do not work due to the reasons specified in this post.
The Globe app sees the switches and works fine. I go through adding Globe devices to SmartThings and it seems to complete successfully as I get the completed message, but the switch never shows up in SmartThings.
So, my question is, does anyone have a way to get these working? Bulbs arenāt the way I want to go since turning the switch off makes them useless. I want switches that automate properly.
