The title of your topic: “Issues with New Smartthings Connect App”
Yet your summary says to use as discussion of differences.
The other topic is there for a reason. It’s to discuss differences, issues, who should use it, why you shouldn’t be using it, etc…
There are already several other threads for just the New App and here you come creating this thread and then an accidental one that you categorized incorrectly which all you needed to do was edit it and put it into the correct bucket.
This is just duplication and will cause more confusion than there already is. For those reading this, please use the original thread that the community has been using for the past month about SmartThings Classic and SmartThings (Samsung Connect) apps.
