Great idea unless you have Comcast , then the siren will be going off 3-4 times a day. You will quickly turn into " that guy". The one whose alarm is going off at 3am and he is the only one in the neighborhood that doesn’t hear it.
I do appreciate the video, but if I can go Penn and Teller for a moment, you guys know you can do that now with the V1 hub, right? Just have a ZigBee sensor bound to a ZigBee bulb or a zwave sensor associated to a zwave switch. No Internet required for basic on/off if both devices are the same protocol.
Now if you get an Aeon Minimote to turn a GE link bulb on and off without Internet, I’ll be impressed.
Are all the issues resolved in the new hub? By issues I mean motion alerts going off no matter what the mode is, my alarm going off when it’s not suppose to be when motion is detected, modes not changing based off time when they are supposed to, etc?
I updated to the new app and the issues are still present with V1. Unless those are fixed in V2, then it’s pointless for me to upgrade. All these issues are getting to a point where I will have to just unplug my SmartThings until it gets fixed.
No. From a user perspective, platform-wise, nothing has changed. (Well… actually, some new things are broken. I haven’t seen any old issues fixed yet.) Because the feature of the new hub (local processing) is so incredibly limited right now, it’s really a non-factor.
It might be pointless for you, then. (I’m not being sarcastic.)
I’m sure they are looking into it… along with the thousands of other tickets that have been opened over the last few days since the release of version 2.
There was always going to be a surge in support requests with two major app updates like this (iOS and Android), I’m sure they’ve got all of the tickets, they’re just going to take a (maybe much) longer time to get round too for a while until normal levels of support requests resume.
A little more patience is required on our behalf during these times.
