iOS Motion Activity to be used as Motion Sensor

Apps & Clients
1

Hey there,

It would be fantastic if the Smart Things app requested to use my iPhone’s motion activity in order to use the data as a motion sensor. I’d like to be able to trigger a “Goodnight” hello home action when my phone stops moving after xpm. and a “Good morning” hello home action when it starts moving again in the morning.

Thanks

I think this is a great idea, and android supports similar functionality. @slagle, I know ther is a lot of stuff the iOS and android teams are working on, but this could lead to some fun automations :smile:

I would love to see this as well. It would be nice to be able to turn on the heat when it starts to sense movement in the morning. There’s a million possibilities for this.

This is a great idea. I wonder how hard it would be to create a separate app for this that hooks into ST.

Yes, this is what I’ve been hoping for, especially with “Good Morning”, sure I have it set up to run on certain days of the week, but it can be annoying when stuff happens and it’s actually a holiday and I’m still in bed.

I don’t frequent the forums here. Do the official devs ever comment on implementing feature requests?

Yep! I’ve seen quite a bit of activity from several SmartThings staff.

Any developers able to comment on how complex this would be?
