Are the notifications from Routines youāve defined or general notifications from the app? In Routines, you can specify who receives a notification. If they are general notifications from the app, I would think the best bet would be to use the settings on her phone to disable notifications from the ST app. Since you would disabling notifications strictly on her phone (via phone settings) that would have no effect on your phone receiving notifications.
This is what we have done Bruce, due to seemingly being unable to have seperate notifications she has disabled notifications from ST in her iphone settings not ST settings
There is however a 1st world issue with thatā¦ she needs/ likes/ uses notifications from Samsung washing machineā¦ i know, i know, a first world problem but it is offered so we use it
Regards notifications for automations, no her device is never included in notifications from an automation but STHM pipes up if it changes mode along with other devices that i might be tinkering with or adding and removing
Maybe i am missing the point but just seems short sighted that devices for different users have to have the same notifications
Iām guessing that with multiple accounts, disabling certain app or device in the ST app applies to all users not just for the user who disabled them.
That being said, Iām on an Android phone and there are apps like FilterBox that allow you to filter messages based on keywords. If there are such apps for the iPhone, I think that is going to be the route that will work best since the ST app doesnāt give you enough fine grain control of who receives which kind of notifications.
Just to clarify, is your wifeās phone logged in to the same Samsung account as you? Or does she have her own Samsung account and was invited to be a member of your home/location?
He isnāt talking about in Routines. He is talking about unsolicited notifications like āDevice xxx addedā or āLocation Mode changed to Awayā.
I donāt get notifications for mode changes unless I write a routine to do it.
And I donāt get ST notifications when a device is added. I do get Alexa notifications when a device is added, but that has nothing to do with the ST App.
The only place that I know of that sends unselectable notifications is STHM. And the work around would be to turn off notifications in STHM and use a routine to send selected notifications.
Sharing accounts ābreaksā a bunch of experiences. I donāt think thereās a way to do what you want Mike without giving her her own account and inviting that account to the location.
sorry been fighting dark areas on a camera without introducing grainā¦ a great little game of wak-a-mole
i think Nathan really nailed it, sharing an account without the other user having a samsung account or Galaxy device makes a mess of controlling notifications in a logical way
in my mind, if i switch off a notification in the Iphone ST app ( not a routine notification ) it should not affect the other device, in my case my galaxy phone and vice versa but there it is, they do, in reality sharing an account just creates a mirror version of the original with no independant control
i have not tried giving my wife a seperate samsung account, tbh it would be like pulling teeth, she is happy with 1 email addy and 1 account on her device and i am sooo opposed to Apple products i realy do not want to start to have to understand themā¦ they dont even have buttons ā¦ i mean seriously !!! i guess the turn all notifications off will suffice for now
