I’ve only just noticed the awful changes on the Device Details pages.
Presumptuous and incongruous highlighting of one of the attributes in each component when active without even asking which attribute it should be. So all my virtual sensors have the secondary switch attribute highlighted. It’s bad enough it always being at the top without making it even more unwelcome.
More crappy history graphs on attributes whether you like it or not, eating large chunks of screen space at the expense of status and control information. They are not controls so why not stick them on the History tab where they might actually be useful?
A sodding great Battery tile with another pointless graph on the Controls tab. Battery status is device health, create a tab for it and stick it out of the way along with the Connection status and other device metadata.
Sadly the Timer and button routines are still on the Controls tab. They aren’t device controls, get them on the Routines tab where they belong.
The Hub Manager menu is quite reasonably accessible from the Settings for each hub.
Sadly, the Hub Group is needlessly featured on the hubs’ details pages. It is also out of place and daft when the hubs can’t even participate in the group.
Why is there only one hub group per Location? That seems odd.
Can the creation of and/or adding to the hub group be overridden when new eligible hubs are installed or are we supposed to fix things ourselves?
since the update on june 24 my s21 Volume through my airpods has been about 50% of what it was prior to that
disabled absolute volume and no difference
the “Connected sound” is normal but after that its back to 50%
airpods are fine when connected to my laptop so I know its not the airpods themselves
I’m not sure this will help you with your Airpods, but I have Samsung Buds2 and use the Samsung Modes and Routines app on my Samsung smartphone to use a Mode (aka Scene) so that when I connect my Buds (as the Trigger) for the Mode, it sets the Media volume(s) to my desired levels.
Example; I listen to Podcasts when I’m using my Buds, so I named the Mode ‘Podcast’. When I connect my Buds as the Mode’s Trigger, it sets my desired Media volume(s) which include’s the Bluetooth media volume, starts Play Music selecting my Pocast app as the player, and sets the Read Notifications Aloud for any notifications I receive from text messages apps, phone call apps, and some chat apps.
I just got the update, and WOW what a POS update for device details. They’ve made it useless and bloated. Seriously, who comes up with such ridiculous design ideas?
Just got the update this morning, and this is just plain awful. I wasn’t a huge fan of the previous UI, but I could move quickly between rooms without having to reach for my glasses and scrolling endlessly. You can’t even swipe left or right on the rooms anymore.
This update in the SmartThings app is really bad. Before, I used a gesture to change rooms using only one hand, but now I need to use both hands in the app.
Now I am used to it I do actually find the new way of changing rooms to be quicker, but only because the way I hold my phone favours using the top of the screen. The main issue I have with it is that because it needs the tap to select the room you can scroll the name of the current room off screen.
I could even cope with the ridiculously tiny text if it weren’t for the massive text and wasted empty space allocated to telling me I’m on the Devices tab until it is scrolled away. If the tab icons were put at the top where they belong it wouldn’t even be needed.
That is the particular peculiarity. The UI follows the current fad of having controls at the bottom of the screen, presumably catering for those who hold their phones one or two handed at the bottom of the screen. So why on earth have the room controls at the top?
It really wasn’t good, I thought it was some configuration I had done locally, but after seeing the topic, I realized it was a new version, in fact, a worse version…
Device updates is much quicker. We have hundreds of devices in the app, and it updates the status of the devices much quicker than before, when opening the app. Maybe this will lead to the removal or raise of the app device limit.
My son has a Google pixel device that never had the geolocation working great until now. It’s been about a week and it has been accurate. I haven’t had to ask him to open smartthings, in the hopes that it would update the status correctly.
