Just noticed in the API settings that the connection to my smart Samsung Washer doesn’t list, and won’t let me list, SmartThings Hub as it’s Hub.
Is it important?
So I’m trying to set up three automations. One via ST and two via IFTTT
ST - 'IF TIME=03:00AM THEN START WASHER"
IFTTT - ‘IF AGILE ELECTRICITY PRICE IS <£0.09kwh THEN START WASHER’
IFTTT - ‘IF AGILE ELECTRICITY PRICE IS LOWEST FOR 2 HOURS THEN START WASHER’
But I can’t even see it in the automation control list in SmartThings
Can we even start the washer if it’s not on? When my washer or dryer finish a cycle, they send me a notification and then turn off after a set time.
You can try a couple things, which I’ll try as well.
- Power on the washer so it shows Online in the new app. Does it become available in an automation? I know that devices showing offline can’t be selected in the new app when creating an automation, at least it used to be that way.
- Try what the device says in the app. Turn on and activate Smart Control
I saw your other post, so I’ll link these two topics together.
So here is the washer in it’s own app:
It displays as ‘READY’ in ST
So when I try to make an automation:
In KITCHEN (where the device lives) there is no control for the device:

Didn’t that get changed recently where you can now choose offline devices? I can’t remember if it was for automations or something else entirely for offline devices. It’s Thursday… I can’t focus on thursdays.

LOL, it did. I was able to select my offline dryer while testing this for the OP.

No worries!!!
I wouldn’t expect a hub to be listed since the device doesn’t connect to your hub. It connects directly to the cloud.
Regarding using an offline device in an automation, this seems to only be partially fixed. I can’t add either of my samsung TVs to an automation unless they’re turned on
