I’m glad to hear you like this SmartApp because now I don’t feel as bad about suggesting the factory reset which ended up killing your siren.
Funny, no worries. Minute I opened the box, I was concerned: low quality materials, mediocre product design, vastly incomplete documentation, somewhat misleading feature set. On the other hand, Samsung should think about the Device Viewer app / management console and build it in to the platform and have it be accessible from the web page of the customer’s hub ip address.
You are aware that the dashboard in my SmartApp can be opened from any browser, right?
When I heard about the new device monitoring feature they were working on it gave me hope that we’d start seeing the features we’ve been asking for. It took them months to actually release it and what they did release is practically useless so I doubt we’ll ever see anything like this or CoRE built into the platform.
Yes, I did see this. I have some more reading to do though because I thought the url includes a different tokenID each time it’s launched. So, I haven’t learned the url to enter from the Mac. Separately, every time I go into the app in ST, I have to reselect the devices, and it doesn’t look the same today as it did yesterday:

Not critical as there are other things on my list currently.
Agreed. I think the priorities changed significantly when acquired by Samsung. They reprioritized selling by gearing investments towards checking off boxes to be more competitive in a review (open platform - check; management console - check; event based rules - check; turnkey security package - check; works with… check, check, check). Where the reality of those features is far more nuanced.
I think the SmartTiles url changes every time you open it, but the Simple Device Viewer has a static url. You can generate a new url by disabling the dashboard and then enabling it again.
The url gets written to live logging every time you open the dashboard settings screen so if you open live logging with your mac, you can copy the URL from there.
You’re accidentally cancelling out of the SmartApp before it finishes the installation which is why it’s generating a new url and you’re having to reselect your devices…
When you install the SmartApp from the marketplace, hit Done as soon as you see the main Simple Device Viewer screen.
Then exit the marketplace, open the Simple Device Viewer from the SmartApps tab of the Automation screen, and then choose your devices and enable the dashboard.
Well, it wasn’t really an accident, but I’m all set now. Thanks.
I just meant that if you tap the back button instead of the done button at any point during the installation process, the installation cancels and you lose all your changes.
I’m glad you’re all set and let me know if you have any questions or run into any other problems.
@krlaframboise, Kevin, your app is now in my very short list of “The top 3 apps” ever made for ST.
I can’t thank you enough! I truly appreciate the brilliance, intelligence, creativity, giving to the community… from people such as yourself.
You Sir, are the deal…
Cheers!
Thank you for the generous donation, I really appreciate
Is anyone having problems with this yesterday and today?
I’m getting Last Event Notifications saying 7 hours, 9 hours, 4 hours, even though all of the devices are having normal regular events.
Are you on the latest version?
Yes. I actually updated yesterday.
Have you saved the settings screens since upgrading to the latest version?
To be clear…
Yesterday morning I saw the problem in the viewer, decided I should update, and then saw the problem last night. This morning it looked fine, then a few hours later it went wonky again.
Yes, I think so. But regardless that shouldn’t cause it to say no events in 4 hours when there have been events right?
Enable all the logging options in the SmartApp and check live logging to verify that it’s checking the last event times every 5 minutes like it’s supposed to.
Well, I don’t really know the answer to this. I’m not adept at figuring out the puzzling Live Logging as nothing is clearly labled to my uneducated eye.
When ever the Mode changes from anything to one of the Modes I have indicated in the app for Alerts, I get a text message that says every single one of my devices has a Last Event Alert. For example, I told it not to text me when Mode is Away since I couldn’t do anything about it anyways. The time listed varies. 7 hours, 9 Hours, 3 Hours. But the alert is false. I think it usually is indicating the length of time its been since it was last in a Mode its allowed to text me during. I can go into the Device Viewer and in the ide and look at all the events that took place during those times.
Duhhh…I did see it eventually, and yes, its checking every 5-10 minutes. Not 5 minutes on the dot though if that matters.
I have tried unistalling the app and reinstalling from scratch. No luck. 19 false messages every time I change modes.
I will have to disable the alerts feature on this entirely which is a shame as that was the primary thing I used it for. I will just have to try to check the dashboard often to see if any sensors have become unresponsive. ![]()
As soon as I typed this I realized that there is one more thing to try. I have now removed the Feature of Only Send Notifications for Specific Modes. I tried changing Modes and did not get the false messages. So here’s hoping that is where the bug lies. I will confirm tomorrow after the Modes change on their own outside of my testing.
Thanks
