> JD - It’s the Armed (away) in the Security section of Smart Home Monitor that I want to activate. When I’m home, it’s in Disarmed, but when I go out, based on my mobile presence, I want it to switch to the above referenced armed (away) mode. I’m still figuring this all out and thank you for your input.

The new version of the app does not allow you to change the smart home monitor “security mode” based on anything except time of day or manually toggling it in the app. You cannot change it based on presence.

You could in the classic app. But you can’t in the new one. It now matches the way security mode works for the ADT model hub, but they have applied that to all of the hub models.

You can write to support and tell them that you would like to see it changed, quite a few people have. But for now it’s just not an option. 😥

> this thread is intended only as a listing of specific differences between the two apps, not for complaints, suggestions, discussions of design philosophy, bug reports, questions about migration, joke memes or anything else. Just individual feature differences. We originally used the abbreviation STSC for “SmartThings (Samsung Connect)”, but that never caught on, so now we are calling it the V3 app since it came out with the V3 hub. The V3 app is changing rapidly, so feel free to edit this as needed. The official knowledgebase FAQ is at the following link.
