SmartThings Android App 1.7.89.25 (August 2022)

AwsmSpaceMonkey · August 29, 2022, 2:52pm

I have the same issue. Tried clearing app cache and reinstalling the app but nothing. The same thing has happened on all devices where I’m running the app. The first time I launch it it says I’ve been logged out. When I log back in the devices are gone but the rooms and automations are still there. Everything is still present on my.smartthings.com. I have a ticket opened with support and I’ll try to post any updates when I get them.

Is this related to the “Untitled” labels that are not showing up on all custom tiles or is this specific to just adding a attribute label for a list?

nayelyz · August 29, 2022, 10:57pm

Yes, here’s the feedback about that:

SmartThings Android App 1.7.89.25 (August 2022) Android

That’s what we also told them and they mentioned this was going to be friendlier in the next release considering all the feedback so far. Now that I’ve been making some tests, I confirmed that Localization (translation) allows us to set a custom label (at least for the attribute). It’s pending to confirm the capability’s card label as I put a similar label in the localization (the only difference is the capital letters - Name: “List Example”, Translation: “List example”) and as I haven’t gotten the Android update, all my tests were in iOS, I don’t know if this is because of the cache. I already reinstalled the ST app. Taking this capability as an example: commonsmall09402.listExample It is now displayed as follows when its label was “untitled”: [IMG_0332] I suggest you query the l…

RBoy · August 29, 2022, 11:21pm

I’m not clear, so you’re saying the Untitled issue will never be fixed for existing VID’s ? That issue is affecting every custom capability not just list.

nayelyz · August 29, 2022, 11:29pm

No, that’s not what I’m saying, sorry for the confusion. I already created a report for this, once we hear more about it, we’ll let you know.
I just wanted to share the workaround with you all so you can provide a label for your capabilities in the meantime.

hongtat · August 30, 2022, 2:30am

I’ve read and tried to follow your workaround, but I still don’t understand where and how to fix.

Would it be possible to have a step-by-step guide and before (bad) & after (good) of the custom capability, etc. ? And probably a clear separate topic for this undocumented breaking change?

Mariano_Colmenarejo · August 30, 2022, 1:40pm

They have also added in automations/ conditions for the numerical attributes the comparison of interval for minimum and maximum limits.

This is very nice!

nayelyz · August 31, 2022, 12:01am

Ok, I cannot create a new post as this is a workaround, I haven’t received any feedback about this change being permanent or not.

To update your capability labels:

Note: I discovered that if we create another capability with the same config, the “untitled” no longer appears, so, if it’s easier for you, you can do this instead. The Capability and Attribute name would still be displayed

Before the translation:

Query the configuration from commonsmall09402.listExample:
This is best from Postman because the CLI doesn’t retrieve the config in j or y (which I already reported)
URL: https://api.smartthings.com/v1/capabilities/commonsmall09402.listExample/1/i18n/en

image702×758 32.8 KB
Copy the result in a file, this is what we’ll edit for other capabilities so you must be visualizing the capability presentation elsewhere to use the correct values.
Taking the capability commonsmall09402.progressiveOn1 into consideration:

//the values in "label" are the ones that will be shown in the app:
{
    "tag": "en",
    "label": "progressiveOn1 cap label",
    "attributes": {
        "progOn": {
            "label": "progOn attr label",
            "i18n": {
                "value": {
                    "Active": {
                        "label": "progOn is active"
                    },
                    "Inactive": {
                        "label": "progOn is inactive"
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    },
    "commands": {
        "setProgOn": {
            "arguments": {
                "value": {
                    "i18n": {
                        "Active": {
                            "label": "progOn is active"
                        },
                        "Inactive": {
                            "label": "progOn is inactive"
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

You can use the command create, if you get an error saying the translation already exists use update instead:

smartthings capabilities:translations:create commonsmall09402.progressiveOn1 1 -i capabilityLocalization.json

smartthings capabilities:translations:update commonsmall09402.progressiveOn1 1 -i capabilityLocalization.json

Note: remember to verify if the configuration was saved correctly by querying the translation in postman

Then, we’ll edit the capability’s presentation. You can get the current configuration with the command:

smartthings capabilities:presentation commonsmall09402.progressiveOn1 1 -j

Change the value in detailView.label by {{i18n.label}}
Edit the state alternatives (only the value property), here the path is: {{i18n.attributes.attrName.i18n.value.alternativeKey.label}}

Save these changes:

smartthings capabilities:presentation:update commonsmall09402.progressiveOn1 1 -i capPresentation.json

Note: The update of the translation can take some time to be applied, this is in case you query it’s configuration and it doesn’t change (this is already reported)

Update the presentation if you used a custom device config to create it
If not, you might have to reinstall the device but I suggest you change the device’s name
Verify if the device is using the latest presentation version
This is what the capability currently looks like:

I’m still checking why the status isn’t appearing, I already asked the plugin team.

Mariano_Colmenarejo · September 1, 2022, 8:51pm

Hi @nayelyz

Automations actions for multi-component devices cannot be chosen independently in the same way as conditions.

I think it worked fine before, but I can’t be sure.

In Conditions Automations, you can choose each component separately and put a condition on each one

In Actions automations I have to choose all actions at once action for all components. If I need to delay any of them or turn it off after x time it affects to all components.

It shouldn’t work independent for each component, since in the presentation each component has its capabilities defined separately.

If i click in + Add action this device is not selectable

andresg · September 1, 2022, 10:15pm

Hi, @Mariano_Colmenarejo

I already shared this with the team. I will let you know as soon as I have an update.

Mariano_Colmenarejo · September 2, 2022, 10:08am

Hi @nayelyz @andresg

Hello

Something has changed in the automations when smartthings adding the intervals in the conditions and now the automation does not fire:

When the condition coincides with the minimum limit in intervals
The equal or greater condition when the value is coincident. If you put >= 9 and the value is 9 it doesn’t fire. you have to put >= 8
The condition = does not fire

It seems that the equal comparison is not done correctly in some cases, although the condition <= works fine

I tried with virtual calendar, temperature and others capabilities numeric type

It’s driving a lot of people crazy and it took me more than an hour of testing to see what was happening

This user says now working fine, but to me not work yet

Sunrise-Sunset and Calendar functions for edge Community Created Device Types

Hello @Mariano_Colmenarejo. I had a simple routine to start my dehumidifier: If time is 19h → Start dehumidifier. Since yesterday I added a vCalendar option, since I don’t need it to start when it’s hot (june, july and august), so I changed the routine to this: [image] And the dehumidifier did not start. The option I made is “interval”, so I can choose from month 1 to 5 and on the other from month 9 to 12. What am I doing wrong? UPDATE: Just made a test with another device and it works… Maybe it was a ST failure… I have another 2 routines like this one in the morning, so I’ll wait and see if they work. UPDATE 2: Works! I don’t know what happened yesterday…

This condition works for september month (9) works fine

This condition works for september month (9) does not works

andre_petinga · September 2, 2022, 10:34am

Yes, yesterday my 7pm routine for the dehumidifier did not work, but today, the 10am worked fine (they are equal, just the hour changes).

And I have another one to blinds that also worked today at 10:15, but int this case it’s not the minimum value, it’s the maximum.

It looks like the missing device issue is fixed tonight. It must have been something on the backend because I didn’t get an app update or anything.

Thanks for letting us know. That is weird since I wasn’t notified of any change made by the Engineering team on this matter. If this ever happens again, please tell us.

Mariano_Colmenarejo · September 7, 2022, 8:59pm

Hi @andresg

Every day there is a new thing.

I’ve noticed that the refresh capability for Z-Wave devices doesn’t run when you swipe down on the app details view. There is no command on the CLI.

For Zigbee devices if it works well
