Great read I totally agree, social media is a powerful thing, and if SmartThings wants to remain they better get their act together.

The process is to submit it for āpublicationā in the IDE. Which doesnāt work. At all. I submitted LANDroid (now LANNouncer) five months ago, followed up a few months later with some queries when they hadnāt acted, and they still havenāt looked at it.
So, in summary, thereās no way to get it reviewed or vetted, and yet they will use that as an excuse for not addressing why things donāt work.

[quote=āslagle, post:4227, topic:28730, full:trueā]It actually never was submitted for publication, but we would have put it through the review process if it was.

See, yāall lose a lot of credibility with statements like these. Check out my last postā¦ you guys donāt even check the queue. When I asked about progress on this a few months ago, I couldnāt even get an answer.

@slagle @Tyler . Seems there is a general negative feeling on the process of publication.
Can you explain the process from the begening to end and what are the requirements for an app to be accepted? What are the order of priority (how do you guys choose to work on one and not on another one).
Is there a daily monitored queue of those publication requests?

Watch the dev discussion above. If I remember correctly they are working on defining it right now. It sounded like their intention is to automate the process so that itās instant when you hit the button, there is no timeline (at least that they shared)

Itās the Hub V3! For just $99 you can upgrade to the latest and best hub we have created. This one has bluetooth integrated and is connected to Appleās very own Home Kit. We know that Hub V2 had bluetooth in it, but we didnāt get around to turning that on. It will be turned on from the get go on V3. Home Kit will be a coming soon after launch. We wanted to make sure everyone knew what our device was capable of as a selling point even if we are not actually going to turn it on and do anything with it. Donāt bother with V1 & V2, we stopped trying to get those to work a long time ago. All of our current focus is on Hub V3. If you liked SHM 1.0, wait until you see what we have install for SHM 2.0. Everything in your house will run through one smartapp. Thatās right folks everything is tied to 1 single app. What happens when that app goes down? Well we are not actually sure, but we know you all will be posting about it here in the forums. Canāt wait to find out. Oh and those user submitted apps that we donāt even bother reviewing, well those are gone too. I know we took out the option before to search for apps, but that was all because there was no need for it. We donāt need your apps anymore. Everything will run though our vary stable SHM 2.0 only available on Hub V3. The learning curve on SHM will be very easy. Some might think it looks just like Rule Machine. So get those credit cards ready folks. Hub V3 is here baby!

After we do a push either today or tomorrow.
So a V3 hub is coming out.
Greatā¦ Iāve only had my V2 hub a few weeks.
Why not warn us to hold back and I would not have waisted my hard earned cash on an obsolete product.
Maybe Samsung will let me part exchange itā¦

Anyone who installed the latest code into their IDE still has it there. Bruce included this licesne with the code:
This software if free for Private Use. You may use and modify the software without distributing it.
This software and derivatives may not be used for commercial purposes.
You may not modify, distribute or sublicense this software.
You may not grant a sublicense to modify and distribute this software to third parties not included in the license.
Software is provided without warranty and the software author/license owner cannot be held liable for damages.
So while any individual user is welcome to keep using it, or make changes to it, no one here can distribute it to any other user. Only Bruce can do that. I respect his preferences and his decision to withdraw access to the code.

Fair enough ā¦
As do Iā¦ and this is a good lesson for folks to attempt to stay reasonably current on software updates, even if it is sometimes a pain. Especially with the github integration setup, there was literally no reason not to keep updated, because even if a particular issue cropped up, you could easily rollback to the previous version.
