Who, if anyone, is the big data wizard at SmartThings? Is that person going to be joining the call as well? Data analysis and the actionable intelligence acquired from data are key areas of interest for me in my smart home. I would love to hear from ST on some of the behind the scenes data processing and other features of the platform pertaining to data.
Can you ask about official integration of the Aeon Labs Smart Energy Power Strip DCS11-ZWUS. This is an awesome product that has been kicked around the Smartthings office since late 2013
Is there a known (limited/intermittent) issue with OAuth logins?
As shown in the video in the linked thread, the first time I attempt the OAuth workflow I end up getting thrown to the developer dashboard after logging in rather than the device authorization page. If I attempt the OAuth workflow a second time, my credentials seem to be cached and I am properly taken to the device authorization page and the remainder of the workflow seems to work fine.
I’m not sure when this started as I only recently noticed it in the past few days and I haven’t had any SharpTools user complaints about it yet, but it seems other community members have seen this behavior at least intermittently.
Also, an update on why you have to log into the IDE multiple times before you can actually do anything. I’ve not seen any updates as to what happened there or why. Could it be related to the oauth issue too?
To add to this because it is probably related. I have been having very hit and miss results with the simulator. I was trying to simulate the ultimate bathroom door smartapp and I could not even get to the preferences screen. Just select a location and then nothing.
Grovestreams was the biggest chunk of time. They answered that device capabilities were being looked at, but that progress would trickle in as they bring on more staff. @thegibertchan spoke about the power strip and the garage opener, but not in depth. A few other odds and ends that I am sure @April will clear up in her minutes.
