SmartRules 2.0

The terrible horrible login bug of 2017 has finally been slain!! :dragon::dagger:. We finally found a solution to that awful login bug that we’ve been suffering over for the last several weeks. Please update your SmartRules app to the latest version, 2.1.4. If it is not showing yet, it should propagate throughout the App Store very soon, so keep an eye out.

SmartThings is still looking into what is causing an error from the old implementation and they hope to identify the issue to prevent others from hitting this problem. Thanks to some help from the good folks over at ActionTiles (check out their product if you haven’t seen it before, it’s pretty awesome), we were finally able to work around the error.

As an added bonus, this new implementation has some other benefits over the old version. Since we now use the standard Safari popover, you get added security since you can be assured that we cannot intercept your password and other private information. You’ll also see the SmartThings URL along with the :lock: in the address bar, confirming that you are properly connected to the secure site. And finally, my favorite new feature, this Safari popover has access to all of your saved passwords, making login a snap!

As usual, please let us know if you have problems, questions, suggestions or just want to say hi! :wave: Have a great night.

PS - If you haven’t already purchased, we cut the price of the unlimited rules purchase to celebrate and apologize for the trouble. Tonight and tomorrow only.
