Samsung SmartThings Hub (2018) discussion (Model GP-U999SJVLGDA aka V3)

Yeah…you’d think that but I had already changed the “default” location and it still wouldn’t let me delete it. I even forced close both apps and wiped their data (cache and storage) then logged back in. Both apps thought I was a new user and both logged into my secondary location correctly as the default location. Still wouldn’t let me delete the “Home” location in the new app (but WOULD let me delete the old location from the classic which somehow wasn’t the same location).

There is something goofy with this…someone else can play with it. I’m 95% back to getting it re-setup so I’m done playing. If I had to guess:

  • Have one location by default in Classic app through SmartThings (Loc A)
  • Account gets “migrated” to Samsung. New location gets pulled in as default “Home” location in new app on Samsung servers (Loc B)
  • I created a new location using classic app (Loc C)
  • New app sees new Loc C.
  • I set Loc C as default.
  • I tear down Loc A
  • I add new hub and devices to Loc C
  • I delete Loc A. Loc A deletes.
  • Loc B still exists but is now empty
  • I now have two locations in the new app, the “Home” location (Loc B) and the one with all my devices (Loc C). Old app only has Loc C
  • I delete Loc C from new app. It say devices will move. Location deletes. So do devices. It lied.
  • Loc B now shows up in Classic (empty)
  • I rebuild from scratch in Loc B
