This thread is for everyone to freely air their opinion of what home automation is to them in their personal home environment. Please don’t use it to rant or rave how SmartThings is doing something right or wrong or if you see something that is missing in the product today. Try to keep the conversa…

Honestly, my need list is pretty much fulfilled. I do have a lot of wants. I want my house to be more responsive. I want better presence detection in and around the house; how many people are in room for example. I would be really cool if I could speak to my house in plain English from any room an…

I want a desktop program that allows me to easily setup all my automation scenarios on one screen, allowing me to add delete and change the smartapps without having to go through multiple pages on my phone or IDE. I want that desktop program to also give ST permission to wake on lan (WOL) I also w…

I agree with @Jonathan_McGuire . There needs to be a web based control of SmartThings.

Security/Alarm I want motion sensors just like the ones that are used with alarm.com/Simon XT/i systems. i.e. zero false triggers from pets and pet vacuums. That would be another step towards enabling ST for alarm/security use. I’d still want current style motion sensors which are great for respons…

I mentioned this in the topic on smart appliances, but another would be cool for those whose utility companies offer tiered pricing would be a washer, dryer, and dishwasher that let you: A) lock out appliance use until a specific time, with a visible count down timer until next cheap power period a…
