Presence app

[murray]

I’m unable to set up my two devices. I want to use my ipad2 as my camera and my iPhone 6 for my remote. I cannot add a device without launching a QR code screen on either device and the app on my camera will not allow it to be a remote. It’s stuck on use as camera. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled the app at least 3 times. Also the home screen doesn’t match simple and clearly designed screen on the demos whic

@murray Not sure what you are trying to do here. Why do you think you can use your ipad as a camera with ST? Are you using an application that integrates with ST and if so what app are you using?

Manything also works well and you can integrate it with smartthings.

Manything

Using old iPhone as a Webcam

I am using manythings with IFTTT and through a virtual switch in smartthings. I have it attached to the Hello home and goodbye home scripts to turn on and off the cameras when people come and go.

Then I turned on guided access so no one could exit the clock app w/o a passcode. I have a “old” iPhone 4s and iPod touch i’m doing this with. The motion detection seams to be a bit sensitive and there is some lag between IFTTT and smartthings, but slightly too much video is way better than not enough Next year I’ll be adding my iPad 2g into the mix but instead of a clock app I’ll be using air display and geek tool to turn it into a weather station. …

I think you are confused about Smartthings and presence. They are coming out with an automation system as well but not yet available. I used their presence camera apps before with my old iphones. Should email them about your problem and pretty sure they will response.

Perch looks cool, but I don’t think they have an iOS app yet, only Android and Chrome on the desktop.
