I used the Simple SmartApp Tutorial (SmartApp SDK) to install the Simple SmartApp on my iPhone Smartthings App.
When I touch the Simple SmartApp, like in the screenshots above, I get a popup that says Something went wrong. I used the Tutorial , which uses Glitch, to do it again. The second try also stopped working a few days later.
No, the Glitch project works fine and the App installs on the phone with the procedure in the tutorial. Well the tutorial is missing something because to make it work I have to enter a URL that Glitch complains about before the Developer Workspace and Glitch cooperate. I would have to do it again to document the step where tutorial leaves out a step.
The app worked OK on the iPhone, but a day or two later it stopped working with the popup error that says something went wrong. Do smartapps need a server to run on? Is that why the smartapp on my phone stops working. Because Glitch expired my smartapp on their machine?
When I open the smartthings app on the Samsung phone I don’t see the Simple SmartApp. Shouldn’t it appear on the Samsung phone too?
I thought the smartapp was supposed to run locally on the HUB without Glitch.
Isn’t there a way to install SDK on my raspberry pi.
Would it serve the same function as Glitch.
Todd Austin has a procedure to implement SmartApps on a local Raspberry Pi using ngrok. GitHub - toddaustin07/MQTT_SmartApp: SmartThings SmartApp for Sending out device capability state updates to MQTT .
Do I need to do this to build smartapps?
Will it replace Free Glitch and integrate with developer workspace and webhook. Is that how you do this on your personal server?
