I am new to Smart Things, but am finding much joy in turning on and off the lights from my phone. My question is: if or when there will be a “Smart Things” app for the Kindle Fire? It is surprising to me that you can purchase so many of the devices from Amazon, but the app is not on the Amazon app…
