PLEASE!!!
Please make a “hidden” room option or perminant room to hide devices.
Then make app attribute which hides devices from things list if added to “hidden” room.
With 100+ regular devices and almost two dozen virtual devices, the list gets ridiculous to get through and if I could hide a lot of virtual items that are used for automating things, it would make a huge difference!!
Or any other manner of hiding devices in things list, even if it brings them automatically down to the bottom of the list overriding the natural alphabetical order.
Anything please!! @kleneau
I always use the “rooms” view over the “Things” view for that very reason. I think that does pretty much what you want… just requires one more tap.
Its also worth noting that the latest mobile app now has “favorites” on the main dashboard making it easy to put just the devices you use most right at your finger tips.
Sorry if I came off wrong. But all we can do is post requests directly to the ST staff in the announcment posts. If more people join you, than maybe ST will listen. Maybe.

if it were for interactive control of devices, I certainly would. AT is impressive.
This is for checking on things as I’m working on automations, looking in device tile page at attributes and activity screen. occasionally settings. it’s just a pain to scroll through so many things.

Yah… I empathize.
Since I use ActionTiles for view & control, I only use “Rooms” in SmartThings to organize my Things for automation!
I am interesting to ability to hide device in the things tab
i am newer iat ST, just transfet a little part of my “things” And it is already the brothel
Found this thread while looking for solution to hide device as well since I like to make sure no one will trigger it even by accident. Pretty disappointing there is no solution for device not to show up in the app what so ever.

It’s one reason for the popularity of ActionTiles.
Most family members don’t need the SmartThings App (except for Presence and dismissing SHM alerts). Secure ActionTiles dashboards “Panels” contain only the Things they need, by the choice of the household administrators.
