Missing Posts?

For the present, I’ve stopped making recommendations on smartthings setups, because I’m just too far out of the loop.

Lack of knowledge (2021)

I’ve decided to stop answering many questions in the forums on anything that is SmartThings -specific, since I’m just not finding it possible to keep up. I can’t use the app, I don’t use the rules API, and I’m no longer using a hub. And I’m not in any of the beta programs. I do still use smartthings in a hub-optional configuration, so I may get involved in discussions of some of those devices. And I will still be happy to participate in discussions about third-party protocols, including zigbee, Z wave, and now Matter. But I’m not going to even try to get into discussions about DTH details or Automations any more. I’m just too far out of date. If there’s a question about a device or integration that I myself am using and it’s relevant, I’ll post that, but I will also mention that I’m not…

@vp143 , I suggest you start a new thread under projects and title it “First lighting project with SmartThings (UK)” and put your post there and I’m sure you’ll get lots of feedback and suggestions.

(Make sure you put UK in the topic title or you’ll get a bunch of suggestions for US devices that you won’t be able to use. )

Projects & Stories

Good luck!
