I haven’t noticed any issues (v3 ST hub), though I haven’t checked logs on my Pi. What model ST hub do you have? ---

I’m getting a similar issue with my sensors not reporting correctly, but have not checked the logs. ---

restarting the hub helps. i think they got something wrong with the network driver… ---

V2 hub here, and I’m getting same error messages on my log. Will try to reboot everything and see if that helps. ---

I have the same error messages and contact status stuck on SmartThings. V2 Hub. Used to work fine, problem started recently. Hub reboot and actuating stuck contacts clears the issue but only temporarily - until the timeout errors occur again. ---

I’m on V2 Hub, and checked the server.log on my Pi. I traced that error message back to April 10 and saw that it lasted for a few days. Nothing since. Although at the time I didn’t notice the contacts left opened, it may have been resolved as I had to reboot the hub a few times, looking at other issues with zigbee devices not responding. ---

@dadanepal, Just out of curiosity, what is driving you to want to get this working in the new app? With the exception of having to ignore my entry/exit door sensor in SHM, this has worked perfectly for me for a couple of years in the classic app SHM. Just for fun, this weekend, I started tinkering with using webCoRE to allow for entry/exit delay in SHM in the classic app and almost have it working properly. I have one more kink to iron out and I think it will be perfect. Not sure if this kink is a limitation of SHM or a limitation of this integration. But, after reading your post, I started wondering if my time may be better spent transitioning to the new app and using your solution. I don’t want to waste my time fiddling with the old app if we are on the verge of having to use the new app. ---

The main reason why some of us began to look into making it work in the new app was because Samsung announced a while back that they were shutting down the old app. I believe back in January, they were talking in terms of months before that was to happen, although no specific date was ever introduced to my knowledge. ---

Okay. I see. I just wasn’t sure if you guys had found some feature of the new App that was better than the old app and wanted to change because of it. The STNP code, Device Handler code, etc. is over my head. So, I don’t think I will be able to contribute much to the new App integration. So, I will continue down the path of getting my version of a entry/exit delay SHM webCoRE piston working. My hope is that the questions that I have and answers that I will get will help someone else, or, indirectly help you guys get everything working smoothly in the new App. ---

@cheers4beer Personally I use this to handle my delay: [[Release] SHM Delay Version 2.0](https://community.smartthings.com/t/release-shm-delay-version-2-0/121800) It creates a virtual contact sensor that waits to ‘open’ X number of seconds after the selected contact sensors open. I’m using the DSC version of Alarmserver but it should work for the Honeywell branch too. I just set my AlarmServer DelayExit Doors as the source for one delayed entry contact sensor and set the delay on this smartapp greater than the exit / entry delay on those three real contact sensors (also turn off ‘real’ night mode.) Bonus - the virtual contact sensors should work with STHM as well as SHM. ---

I am still using my old app. I have both of them installed on my phone. The door sensor fails to update for both in my situation. It is very intermittent… ---

Thanks @nathancu. I have looked at the SHM Delay release a few times in the past. But, it just seems to be overkill for what I want to accomplish. This integration from @redloro has been almost perfect for me for a long time. If I could figure out a simple way to add entry/exit delay, it would be perfect for me. ---

> [@nathancu](#): > > Personally I use this to handle my delay: [[Release] SHM Delay Version 2.0 ](https://community.smartthings.com/t/release-shm-delay-version-2-0/121800) i should look into this. one of the things making me hesitant to dive in is the link integration between STNP and SHM. Even before I had added my contact sensors to SHM, if I opened my door, the Vista would tell STNP which would tell SHM that there was an intrusion. So I haven’t been sure that adding a virtual contact sensor would matter. ---

> [@Michael\_Torgerson](#): > > The door sensor fails to update for both in my situation. It is very intermittent… since rebooting my hub, my sensor states in SmartThings have been accurate again. Not sure how long it’ll last, given others comments in this thread. What’s the best way to reboot the hub without pulling the power and batteries? I could only find the option in the IDE, not in either app. Is there a smartapp or a piston that I could trigger to do that? ---

i’ve been suffering from this issue but it went away for a few weeks when i upgraded Kurtsanders ambient weather station smartapp and the update broke the app so it wasn’t running. when i noticed it wasn’t running a few weeks later I found there was another update available which fixed it. but two days later my Ademco integration problem returned… there is a connection… ---

Found an issue with the Water Leak DH I wrote. One letter wasn’t capitalized which caused the device to not know what state it was in, which was most evident by the missing icon in ActionTiles. I corrected it and tested it, and issued a pull request in github, as well as edited it here.
