I have read extensively the instructions here and on the Konnected community forums and generated the six routines and three virtual switched to make SmartHome work with my system. I use five Fully Kiosk Browser enabled tablets with my system and have not found a work-around for some serious flaws in system operation:
-
The alarm can only be dismissed in the SmartThings App. Not on the wall tablets. This means that anyone having access to the house (friends, family etc) has to have a smart phone, load SmartThings, set up an account and learn how to use it. This is not going to happen.
-
If the alarm is armed using buttons on the wall tablet and then the home is vacated, opening the door will trip the alarm. I know I can delay the sirens from sounding, but the alarm is still tripped and the alarm will sound after the delay.
I have not found an alarm count-down (or beeps) between hitting ‘Arm’ and the alarm actually arming.
It seems like SmartThings Home Monitor is not ready for prime-time yet and a lot of work-around are needed. Is this correct? Is there a timeframe from when this will be resolved?
Thanks.
