I work for an American company so ‘get it’ but as this is now marketed in the UK it would be nice to see this for clarity. It will likely reduce ‘chatter’ from users waiting on specific releases / fixes etc.
Will the UK platform be maintained by the same team as fixes deployed on central time could be a bit of a pain for UK users who are 6hrs ahead.
The UK platform is maintained by the same team that does all other regions (currently only US). I know in the past they have deployed hotfixes at 3 AM Central / 9 AM UTC when major platform issues have come up. I suspect this fix was delayed until this morning as we already had a full release scheduled to go out (it’s being deployed now). I’m not part of the team that coordinates releases so I don’t know that for sure.
This is a good point. It’s definitely something I’ll try to keep in mind going forward.
I don’t know if this is related but I added a new device and changed the device type…when I log in via the web - it shows the correct device type, however, it never changed in the App…when I edit it via the app - it still has the “old parameters” from the original code.
In the US here and have seen no hot fix released. Is it recommended to uninstall, wipe cache, and reinstall cleverobjects? Is there any way to authorize CleverObjects from the web?
I just randomly tried logging into SmartRules and it looks like its fixed! I assume they’re still doing some testing before they announce it, but it worked for me. Does it seem to be working for anyone else?
I am able to authorize everyone of my devices now but I am getting a connection error. I am going to test locally when I go home for lunch and see if I need to be local to authorize. CleverObjects is now added to my smartapps but still won’t finish the setup process in CleverObjects
Great! It looks like it’s working now for everyone in the US, but still an issue for those in the UK. We’ll continue working with ST to get that part working as well.

Please follow UK SmartTiles Status below… USA / Canada installations are back operational; but we’re waiting for further information on the Developer’s Call tonight to see if there’s new procedures we should be following and what is the risk of future disruptions.

It’s going away … eventually. Ben’s quote was “end of the year”, but with a “wink”, implying there will be flexibility and/or delays.
@Ben and @slagle have committed to ensure at least the high-profile self-shared OAuth web services app developers will be assisted through the appropriate conversions … pretty much assume that means our SmartApps need to be submitted for review and publication.
Folks with smaller user bases of their shared items will surely tag along and benefit from our combined efforts. If you have a SmartApp you’re concerned about, drop me a Private Message, as I’d like to know more.
It’s a shame that this platform change was made without advance notice so that we could have avoided user impact and saved ourselves some worry and diagnostic time… but the interim resolution was implemented quite quickly, so that is encouraging.
CleverObjects is by @Jordan_Rejaud – Ty reported the issue in the CleverObjects thread and I would probably keep the comments there as at surface level it seems like Ty’s current issue is an app-specific issue (eg. CleverObjects requires a lock to be selected).

Excuse the cross-posting, but in the interest of proving we’re back (cross-fingers), please see our SmartTiles Version 5.5 Release announcement…
A fix is ready for SmartRules users in the UK now too. Unfortunately, our fix cannot roll out quite as quickly as SmartTiles, because we’ll have to wait for Apple approval. Anyone interested in helping us beta test, please send me a private message or email to support (at) obycode.com.
