How can I add more than 20 rooms?

You can also add a room in the “Manage Room” tab which is reachable at the bottom of the room selection dropdown. Simply click on the + sign.

On iOS at least there is no + for me. I suspect it may be because I’m over 20 rooms.

You are correct

I think the my.smartthings.com is the only way to get more than 20 rooms. Both Android and iOS won’t let me add anymore…I have had to go into the web page to do it.

Be warned, the web UI will let you add rooms above 20 and they will all be reflected in the Android app (iOS?).

However, and in my experience, after a ‘while’ devices became removed from routines and relocated:

Room Limit - App vs my.smartthings

Hi All, The app (Andriod) imposed room limit of 20 user created rooms plus the ‘no room assigned’ system room is not enforced in the Web GUI. The Web GUI seems to have a greater (unknown - currently at 25) room limit. The additional rooms appear without issue in the App pages. Has anyone else utilised this feature and is there a risk that it may cause problems in either the Hub or the App at some point? And what is a realistic limit? (@nayelyz ?)

I have not tried since…

Interesting. I’ve been over 20 rooms for several years but only now added a Room via the Web UI.

I don’t think I got to 20 rooms…certain not more, since I’ve only created rooms using iOS. But, I have hit the magic number (>15). Where new devices now show up under “Living Room” rather than the “No room assigned room”… I think I peaked at 17 or 18, but have trimmed to 13 rooms now (yet location is a 300 square foot studio apartment…)

“Living Room” is the the most crowded room, and new things are inserted randomly into rooms (both when created/discovered or moved.) So sometimes, even when I know its going to be in “Living Room”, its a challenge finding it (after seeings it not at the nd of the room list…especially when its supposed to be sorted alphabetically.

There was a change recently where new devices now get added to the room your ST hub is located in.

I used to be able to add more than 20 rooms through my.smartthings.com but it is no longer working. Also tried through the IDE and got the roomsPerLocationLimit=20 error. Is there anyway to still add additional rooms beyond 20?

There doesn’t appear to be. At one point, the iOS app allowed you to add more than 20 but that is no longer the case.
