I have created three SmartApps in the IDE, and published them “For me”. When I use the Simulator to install them for my home hub–using real sensor data from my home sensors–they work great. But if I instead go into the ST classic app, and install them from there, using the exact same Preferences, only one out of the three actually works.
The one that works is scheduled; it runs at the same time every day. The two that don’t work, aren’t scheduled–they’re meant to be kicked off by sensor events. And in the Simulator, they are.
To throw another wrench in the works: I was using the Android app to install these SmartApps initially, and running into the problem above. Then at one point I grabbed my wife’s iPhone and used that to install the apps, and they worked–once. When I had to make any updates or changes, they stopped working.
As you can imagine, I’m confused and bewildered. I have to have these apps working by tomorrow, and installing them from the IDE isn’t a viable option, because I have to have multiple instances of these apps running under different names (which is not possible in the Simulator).
In the interest of expedience, I’ve posted the code of one of the apps which works only in the Simulator, below. (Icon URLs have been removed because “New users are only able to put two links in a post.”)
