Idea: SmartApp directory

Oh, and as I often say, “a forum is for questions, a wiki is for answers.” :sunglasses:

Meaning you should see references to the wiki in some of the forum threads, and the wiki articles will generally have links back into the forum for discussion.

So they work together well.

Brainstorming, discussion of custom solutions, and of course opinions on things like “what’s the best motion sensor?” Best belong in the forums.

But when it comes to stuff which is just an objective answer to a frequently asked question, like “What protocols does SmartThings support?” Then the wiki is useful.

There’s a meta-section in this forum for discussion of the forum, so feel free to start a new thread there. You could even include a poll in it if you like. :sunglasses:

There’s also an existing thread for discussion of the wiki:

Personally, I’d really like to see something much more robust put in place. I’m going to the doctor tomorrow and starting a new course of meds and I suspect I won’t be online much at least for December. It would be great to come back and find out you guys have organized everything! :tada:

I will add that my own particular concern is that right now there are seven different versions of the SmartThings platform being sold at retail and the features and even the devices do vary somewhat. This forum and even the wiki are just not set up to deal with that. I don’t know what’s going to happen once people open their shiny new Christmas presents and start coming here looking for answers on the Connect and the Nvidia and the ADT models. :scream:
