Just thought I’d share a discovery that I don’t think was announced…
SmartThings has apparently created at least one more Shard (well… I actually presume 2 new Shards or more).
Previously only Shards I knew of, I referred to by short names: NA01 , NA02 , EU01 , (and AP01 Asia Pacific discontinued).
Tonight I was diagnosing an issue with a new ActionTiles user, and discovered he was on “NA04 ” = https://graph-na04-useast2.api.smartthings.com/
I presume there must be an NA03 ; but I have not made any attempt to find it. It’s like hunting for Easter Eggs … or the lost Ark?EDIT: I’m told there is no NA03 , but there is an AP02 , by a SmartThings contact. No explanation yet as to why this isn’t shared in an Announcement to us in the Community…

When SmartThings went for sale in the UK, they added the first of what will be many “shards” to split the SmartThings Cloud workload into multiple, somewhat independent, clusters of servers.
SmartThings automatically replicates a lot of stuff between the shards when they deploy updates and so on, but if you are doing development and you Publish “For Me”, then you need to be sure to be logged into the correct shard, or your self-published SmartApp or custom Device Type Handler will not work. You won’t find it in the mobile App!
Eventually you may not need to know your shard. Eventually, SmartThings may make this process automatic and when you self-publish, it will go to the “right” shard without intervention.
