Smart Life integration (July 2020)

Devices & Integrations

This is works for me with the device above:

  1. Create a ‘tap-to-run’ scene for each device you want to control in the smart life app. In my case it was each outlet of my power strips. Call them something without any special characters.

  2. Link the smart life service to smartthings using the new app. It might say it failed, but the smart life scenes you created above should show up as devices in smartthings with two Chinese characters added in the name- delete the Chinese characters. They will show as offline so they can’t be used in the app or added to automations.

  3. In smart tools, authorise/reauthorise your smartthings account and make sure you add the devices above. You can use them from the sharptools dashboard and in the sharptools rules engine. And also Tasker if you’ve paid for the sharptools tasker integration.

I have successfully created my ifttt applets in the smart tools rules engine, and replaced my ifttt webhooks/join actions used by tasker with sharp tools actions.
All working fine for now (been 24 hrs since I set it all up). Hopefully the the smart life smartthings integrations continues to be developed but for now I’m happy with this. Hopefully nothing breaks when the classic app is turned off- as mentioned I have the classic app installed but it’s been in a broken state for me for a few weeks, I didn’t use it at all when setting this up.
