All, which thermostats will work with smart things in the UK, or will they not work until oAuth is fixed? Thanks.
I have my Nest working with SmartThings, although considering how well āautomatedā it already is and how good it is at doing itās own thing, I canāt for the life of me think of anything useful to do with itā¦ for now 
Search up top for Nest and you will find the guides on how to add it as a device type - works OK for me, although Iāve found its not great at keeping in sync and i have to refresh it in the app (but that may be a platform thing or i may be using an outdated bit of code for the device type. Due to the above, Iāve not invested much time in figuring it out yet!)

Another UK user on the TheInsiders.eu SmartThings trial. I was fully prepared to go out and spread the word on ST integration but thatās not going to happen until I can actually integrate my Wemo Insight switches, LIFX bulbs and (when the new one is released in the UK) Nest thermostatā¦ Still waiting.

Thereās going to be a new thermostat released by Nest?
There was a new model released in the US so I assume eventually.
Some engineering changes you wonāt notice much but will provide some long-term improvements, and a bigger display so you can see the numbers better from across the room.
Also more use of a feature where it will recognize if a change seems wildly variant from the usual pattern.
I just had a look. I canāt see that new hardware was released but note new software was released in July 15.
heres the new one with bigger screen

Im hanging off buying my first Nest & some Protects on the back of seeing v3 launched in the USA. Really wish it would be announced for the UK market already as now is the time of year a Nest would be really bloody useful lol.
I wouldnāt hold my breath waiting for a UK release. From what Iāve read, the firmware is the same itās just got a larger display & supports 5GHz Wi-Fi. Any firmware updates should generally get sent to V2 devices too.
Its the 5GHz wifi and larger screen im hanging in forā¦ I am working towards killing my 2.4GHz network off at the earliest opportunity, investing into Nest kit now that is unlikely to swapped out for a few years would hamper this 
Not a deal breaker (and definitely a first world problem) but would be a real frustration if the V3 did come out in the next month or two. I guess when OAuth is fixed (and i get SmartTiles / SharpTools etc) i may just jump as it would be easier to get value from the V2
And yes i am aware the protect is 2.4

Guess you just joinedā¦ the latest info , such that it is, is all on this forum if you have a look around. I donāt think SmartThings will think we forgot !!
I regard this thread as pretty much the OAuth topic - and therefore any temporary workarounds seem pretty much on topic. The fact that itās titled IFTTT was just the first of many things that are broken without OAuth. SmartTiles, LIFX etc. I hope people find the content useful in that context. However separate threads on workarounds could be created and linked from here if the moderators prefer, which might be tidier ?

Discussion of individual device types or other workarounds should be given their own thread with a post placed here linking over to it. Code discussions and troubleshooting can then be referred to that thread.
One of the best things about SmartThings is that it is not limited to a kit of fixed devices. With the exception of the hub, everyone has different set ups. So to keep the forums easy to use for everyone and interesting, anything on a detailed level which is device or model specific needs to go into its own thread. Not only does it keep this thread cleaner, it makes it much easier for people coming in new to the category to find those specific device types and workarounds.
The people working on a workaround for Netatmo for the UK have been doing this very successfully, for example:
Thank you for your help in this regard.

Thanks Tim, itās appreciated. When we say close, are we talking āoh, I can see the port over thereā close, or are we talking āYep, weāve just got to get past Greenland on our rowing boat, at least weāre nearer the UK than America nowā
Alex was expecting it next weekā¦ That was a week and a half agoā¦ I hope Alex isnāt getting too stroppy with the development teamā¦
