There is something going on with Smart Lighting. The on/off switch is constantly off (see attached photo) and when I try to turn it on I get a network error (see second attached photo). I’m not stressing too much because all my Smart Lighting rules appear to be working.
Any thoughts?
check to see if any of your Routines begin with SL. check out this thread of what others are experiencing:

I think mine have SL at the beginning because that’s how I named them in Smart lighting. I don’t think the app added SL when it converted my Smart lighting rules to manually run routines.
I read this post and had looked through my rules. Nothing beginning with SL nor any overlapping rules. Not all the rules within Smart Lighting are local. I may delete those to see what happens.
Yes, I think the not stressing too much is probably the right idea if things are still working. Odd things seem to be happening at the UI level in the app, but how odd seems to vary by user, and so does the inconvenience caused. It all seems to be revolving around Smart Lighting though.
For me, everything basically looks correct in the UI and seems to be working normally. Viewed from the API level things seem a little stranger though. In particular the ID for Smart Lighting in the user sort order settings has changed from a UUID to id_smart_lighting. I see the IDs of the Smart Lighting automations (they are Rules, just like Routines are) appearing in the ‘automations’ section but only for the user that first used Smart Lighting in the Location, which may be correct, but if I create new SL automations they are with different IDs to the corresponding Rules. This again could be correct as this is just undocumented stuff that I try to make sense of and I have never quite succeeded. As I say though, for me the mobile app IS able to make sense of things.
For others, clearly things are far more confused.
Late reply to this.
My Smart Lighting App has suddenly started switching off. I turn it on, exit and restart the app and it’s off again.
Started yesterday.
Now my lights don’t work!
This is bloody ridiculous. How long do we have to put up with this nonsense app?
Sorry, just frustrated.
I don’t have any routines beginning SL.
I wouldn’t bother with SL app but I still can’t set a routine for lights to come on with motion between sunset and a fixed time. This is madness, if the SL smart app can do that, why can’t Smartthings routines.
Does anyone have any idea of how to keep the SL app turned on?
Thanks

I’ve only ever seen it get turned off when one or more of its rules is no longer completely configured because a device has been deleted.
However I have also seen it do some weird stuff so although I’ve long thought that Recipes deserve to be more widely used that has created some doubt.
