Do we need to change from RBoys custom device handler?

22

You can also use scenes in a routine.

23

We donā€™t support custom Device Type Handlers. Youā€™ll need to switch to our new lock DTHs if youā€™d like to use our official lock code solution.

Are these lock DTHā€™s also new with this release?

25

IMHO it was unnecessary to replace the family tab with the new scenes tab.

Scenes are closely linked to routines, so why not add a tab next to routines in the automations screen? There appears to be room for it there anyway.

Iā€™m not a mobile app designer or coder, so if Iā€™m misunderstanding how this all works, please educate me!

Yeah that makes no sense to meā€¦ worst case, it should be optional to select which tabs you want to see in the interface, in case youā€™re more interested in the Family info than you are in the Scenes.

27

I switch the DTH to the Zwave Locks with Codes and getting this error for all my locks. Am I missing something?

7:11:58 AM: debug Garage Entry Lock is not ready for code creation
7:11:58 AM: debug Garage Entry Lock is not ready for code creation as the lockCodes attribute is null

Update: Actually, the Yale lock is working with that device type. Itā€™s allowing me to successfully create and delete code. Now whatā€™s wrong with the Schlage Camelot and Kwikset ?

Anyone else seeing the SmartThings app taking 30-40 seconds to load since the update? I am on a Pixel XL running Android 8.0.

Just sits on the blue SmartThings screen until it finally loads half a minute later. Fingerprint auth disabled.

It was that long for me too only on first launch after install. Subsequent startups have been at normal time it seems.

Even if you swipe the app away? Mine takes forever any time itā€™s launching fresh, either because I closed it or Android managed it out of running processes.

31

I havenā€™t used the lock app yet, but Schlage has a static pin code length set manually on the lock. Iā€™m guessing if you enter a pin length that isnā€™t the same as that setting you will get an error.

32

I have the pin length set to 4 digits only on the lock. Lock manager is working fine with the 4 digits.

try the z-wave lock dth. It is showing as local when used.

34

where do I sign the petition to bring the Family tab back? Put scenes under automations/smartapps where it makes more sense please

For now, just create a room and place all your presence sensors in there. Itā€™s one extra click to see what you need to see.

You should remove the lock and re-pair it. We have a few new DTHs depending on model that were published for this.

If thatā€™s too annoying Iā€™ll see if I can find the list and post it here.

How do you enable the fingerprint access?

Never mind. Figured it out.

As I saw someone else explain:

A Scene is a State. Objects in the scene will be set to a certain value (as determined by the user) when the scene is set.
A Routine is a Transition from one State to another State.

You can set separate scenes for separate areas of the home and trigger them independently through various methods. You can use a routine to trigger one or more scenes in a single pass.

This will remove a lot of Smart Lighting children for me. I was using virtual buttons/switches to trigger smart lights, and then linking all of those buttons or switches into Routines in order to set a scene in the house. Now I can do it all from the single built-in location.

FaceID works for me.
