Any chance to be able to see a Nest doorbell integration?
I was able to install this plugin to bring my Nest Hello into HomeKit. https://www.npmjs.com/package/homebridge-nest-cam
Now I just wish I could bring it into SmartThings as well, HomeKit automations are not very advanced
Hi, just came across this as i was looking for something that would play a sound via an Amazon Echo when an action such as a switch closed in ST.
This appears as if it will do that, but I cannot see how I integrate the Amazon Echo devices to achieve it. Sorry if I am sounding a bit thick but can anyone help please?
Many thanks
Not at all. There’s a link in the fist post which takes you to the Alexa integration for SmartThings.
That integration allows you to use Alexa to play messages through SmartThings.
Hi , thank you for the update. I had a read and I can see it uses Echo Speaks which i have already tried and found it didn’t work too well, but more importantly because you need to sign up for an account with Heroku and also provide your login details to Amazon which for me is too much of a security risk. Also I use the new ST app’s which seems to make it less stable but that is probably ST’s platform as since using the new app I’ve had no end of issues. I was hoping that integration was either via Alexa skills or IFTTT so I don’t have to expose my amazon credentials. In addition I use Amazon MFA so I’m not sure it would cope with that. But it looks as always a quality app that I have found other uses for. Only fix I would ask for is when using the push notifications , the notifications can be made to produce a sound when it arrives ( I have checked all the notifications settings in IOS) and its stil silent. Found the same problem with the ST notifications as well. Many thanks Andy
If anyone is looking for a door Chime, you may want to consider the new Ring Alarm Keypad. It has 5 chime tones to choose from and has a lot of other features which can be accessed from SmartThings (like a Siren, keypad actions and more) using this integration:
@RBoy you were promoting this app in the “Door left open for minutes”.
But I can’t find the setting that checks the door status after minutes.
It is normal when I open the door to come in, but it would be nice to get notified when it stays open for 10mins +
In the notifications options page, enable the option for Skip initial notification and set the reminder period (X), now it’ll notify you after X minutes but not the first time.
is there anyway you can make RBOY products update communicated more efficiently aside from posting it here in the forums?
maybe attach version numbers on all smartapps or device handlers at your website http://smartthings.rboyapps.com/
this way, its easier to check and compare version numbers that we have installed against your version numbers in your website? this way we can do updates in one swoop unlike here in the forums that often miss product update announcements.
thank you.
Is there a way to use my Google speakers as a Chime? I have integrated them via Cast web api. They show up as a device for me to do a Speak Notification. And I can broadcast mp3 files to them. But they aren’t an available resource for Chime.
I use the SOMETHING left OPEN Smart-App to alert of doors, windows etc being left open. Sometimes, especially when we have working being done at the house, I want to disable ALL of these alerts with a simple virtual switch. Something left Open Smart App doesn’t allow that. Does you app have that functionality?
Seeing as echo speaks is not working, is there another way to have smarttings see my echo devices under chimes in rboys chime and notifications app?
Any plans to support DLNA devices like the Fabriq speaker?
Any way to get this working with Alexa with the current state of things?
I have a security camera inside my garage. Can I use this camera as a motion sensor for the garage door opener smart app?
If you camera provides motion events to SmartThings (e.g. Foscam cameras), then yes this app can use those events to notify you.
I have Samsung Soundbar S66T connected to Smartthings and I am not able to use it in your smart app. I can choose it as using for notification but no sound is coming out. I have not been able to figure out what is wrong. Anyone else with same problem?
That’s probably because your device integration doesn’t support text to speech (TTS). Have you tried playing any of the “sounds” instead of using the speech option?
Thanks for answering, I have tried sounds without luck and TTS is working when using with standard Samsung app speak notifications.
Main reason for using Chimes smart app was possibility to use sounds like dogs barking, bells and alarms but I have o luck with that and SMS notifications are not working either. Maybe I’m doing something wrong hmmm.
