Request: open source the Android app

[ajma (Andrew)]

Im an Android developer and I’d love to be able to tweak my app or contribute bug fixes. Any thoughts to open sourcing the mobile app?

Hi,

There is a serious misconception here in the ST community forum that SmartThings is an open-source platform… The platform is open enough to let developers add custom smartapps and DTHs, but it’s definitively not an open-source platform.

Amongst others, none of the critical cloud or local platform code is exposed to the public, and that’s fine to me. The ST mobile app’s code will probably stay “closed” to public eyes as well as any Samsung proprietary DTHs and smartapps.

In brief, the ST platform is not openHab…

For all the FOSS aficionados out there, I’d suggest to look at openHab if you would choose an open-source platform rather than ST.

Regards.

We may have an open-source smartwatch app in the near future, if that interests you.

Gear Watch Smartthings App - Development Thread

About: This will be my first post about the development of a Gear app for SmartThings. Even if Samsung does eventually create an app, I’m still going to continue developing this one. Background: We got our SmartThings starter kit a few days after Christmas. I own a Gear S2 and was upset when I couldn’t find an app for it to control my new devices. My professional job is a software developer - so I figured it was time to start coding… Thread: The reason behind starting this thread is to get ideas from the SmartThings community to help make this app better. My wife already pointed out that a lot of the built in sensors in the watch could be used to trigger things, like adjusting the thermostat based on temperature and heart rate during a workout. I think ideas like this will be aweso…
