I want to add family members…do I need to install the app on every phone then add that phone as a “thing”, then delete the app so they can’t access the hub??
Surely ST can just find phones when asked to look for new devices, but doesn’t seem to do this at present? Please help.
All I want to do is use family phones as presence sensors
Apple does not allow iPhones to be tracked by location without having an approved app on each specific phone give its permission for that. So there’s no way to just automatically have it happen.
If you don’t want to put the SmartThings app on each phone, there are some alternatives:
Quick question/problem…Ive downloaded life360, but somehow there doesn’t seem to be a way to connect it to Smarthings anymore? All of the online/youtube info shows a previous App version but now its not there?
Select the “market place” icon at the bottom of the screen. It’s supposed to look like a market store with an awning, but to me it looks like a muffin.
In the ide, go to my smartapps.
Then click on the green button, + new smartapp.
In the new window, click on the ‘code’ tab.
Copy in the code and then click on create at the bottom.
Now click on save, then publish, then for me.
It will now be in the Marketplace, Smartapps, MyApps in the ST app of your phone.
You can do s search for how to create device handlers and smartapps.
