If you cannot remove then support can easily do it for you.
Need help with config…
I have a ST outlet that will lose power… (not on or off) … I want to get a text when the power is lost to the ST outlet (a GFCI it is plugged into trips sometimes) …
How can I config this… I setup polling for 5 min… but I am attempting to poll something that has no power…

Hi. Just checking. For the last event feature, does this include the healthpoll()? I have a device that reports this every 5 minutes. And I want to know when it has exceeded those 5 minutes or stopped altogether. Would I be able to get that from this app? Thanks.
How long it takes ST to change the status of a device to offline is determined by the DTH, but when it changed the application should send the notification within 5 minutes.
You can also set a threshold for the last activity time, but that time only changes when an event is created so that won’t work as expected for some devices.
It’s been a few years so they might have changed the way that works…

Hello, I just setup the application with ST so that I can get notifications when devices for OFFLINE. This feature does not seem to be working. Hoping for some guidance.
Have you configured the thresholds and notifications?
I cannot find a way to remove or uninstall this–I tried thru the app and it says its removed but it doesnt go away–i tried from IDE and it says something about being in use-- please help
You should be able to remove it normally through the classic mobile app… Do you see any errors in live logging when you try to delete it?
As a last resort you can go into the hub or location section of the IDE and you should see a list of installed apps (not the my apps screen). If you click the edit button near the top of that page it should show a delete or remove button next to that app.
I had to delete it from the “list” twice, then go back to smartapps tab and deleted from there too–all from IDE…
I too am having trouble with Simple Device Viewer. Within both the classic and the new Smartthings app If I try and bring up Simple device viewer It will tell my “Something went wrong or Network or server error occurred. Try again Later”.
I am unable to remove Simple Device Viewer with either app. When I go to the IDE and try to remove it I am told “This SmartApp can’t be deleted at this time because it is installed by one or more users”.
I saw above where you said to try and remove it through Hub or location of the IDE.
I found it under Location at the bottom of the screen their is a link for “smartapps”. I went in there selected “Edit” on the top right side of screen, Scrolled down to where “Simple Device Viewer” is and selected “Uninstall” scrolled back to the top and selected “Done”. It then gave me this message “There was an error uninstalling your SmartApp.”
I also found I can install another instance of Simple Device Viewer through the Smartthings app and it works great. I am also able to go into that working copy and Remove it. But still can not remove the corrupted copy.
Open live logging before trying to uninstall and post any errors you see in the logs.
On the select devices screen did you select a bunch of devices and/or select the same device from more than 1 list?
I am not sure if this is possible but what css code, if any, could I use to highlight certain sensors so that I can easily find them on a page. Example: I have 77 sensors on the temperature page. I would like to highlight two critical sensors so that I do not have to search for them when I open that tab. Any ideas?
Edit: Thinking this through a little more, having the ability to pin certain tiles to the top of the page would work as well.
I’ve been using SDV for several years and been super faithful. In the last few days it has started to send my last even notifications very frequently, like up to 5-6 times in 10 minutes. It is all around some Visonic contact sensors, which many have likely stopped responding (battery can last at 1% for months so I ignore until dies), but I know at least one of them still is showing events in ST as of a couple hours ago and I have set it to remind me every 5 hours. Not sure what changed or if there is anything I can change to not get so many notifications. Will just check to make sure they are all dead tonight and replace, but not sure I would want this to happen while I was away. Any suggestions? Thanks
I had to disable the app recently because it was displaying a lot of errors in live logging.
I figured something was wrong with my SmartThings account, but check live logging and if you’re seeing errors then ST must have changed something…
That’ll be a bummer. This notification setup is so much better thank stock. Checked and am getting the below error in case that helps troubleshoot.
redis.clients.jedis.exceptions.JedisConnectionException: Could not get a resource from the pool @line 1384 (refreshDeviceActivityTypeCache)
That’s the same one I’m getting, but now that I know ST broke it and it’s not an issue with my account, I’ll look into it.
ditto:
been getting it for a number of months sporadically, doesn’t seem to impact things too much.
Thanks for this wonderful smartapp btw @krlaframboise, it has definitely turned out to be one of my mainstays over the years with smartthings.
Fyi I went to all the devices last night and confirmed they are actually all still alive. Manic notifications has since stopped.
I had some devices that I deleted without removing them from the app, which has never caused problems in the past, but the error is happening when it tries to request the lastActivity time from a device so I’m wondering if that could have something to do with the errors.
This might just be a coincidence, but I haven’t seen any errors since I went into the choose devices screen, expanded each list that had devices selected, and saved…

I went into choose devices and expanded each list and re-saved. The error persists, granted it is pretty sporadic, but I got 7 of them in a four hour period.
