My understanding is that at the time of launch only the smart lights solution smart app will run locally. Other things will be added over time.
I have the same concerns that you do:

Turn on gas burner when mobile presence indicates I have arrived. What could possibly go wrong?

The house blows up in front of you?
Not a bad idea. At least a couple times a year we leave the oven on over night and I end up rationalizing the mistake by telling myself its karma for going to Thanksgiving and Christmas at the parents and using their oven for extended periods to make a turkey or ham 
The house does not blow up until you unlock the your automate lock as you approach the door.

I feel certain that as my house blows up my hue lights and WeMo will each trigger with proper status, my Sonos will tell me the weather, and as the flames hit me I will receive an email offering the original exclusive V2 deal.

Your nest protect will trigger your dropcam to record the whole thing for you as well. Luckily this video is in the cloud and will not be incinerated with the rest.

We have an electric GE oven with wireless access. We really like having push notifications. I would like it to interface with SmartThings so I could turn it off if the smoke alarm is triggered.
As far as remote turn on, it has a button you have to press before leaving. However, if you open the door you have to hit the button again. Tried it for the first time on Wednesday. Wanted lasagna ready after a funeral and didnāt know exactly when funeral would be over. Turned out my mother-in-law opened the door before we left which turned off remote access. Failure!
To me the safety button is a pain. The notifications and smoke alarm integration is plenty safe.
Dinner is usually done long before that particular buzzer goes off.
If ever I got an over that I wanted connected it would be this.

Nice! I ordered mine on the 18th too but it still says backordered. Looking forward to this arriving so I can finally get started on playing around with this stuff. Been lurking on here since like April shortly after moving into my home.
Never got shipping notification, but I got a surprise package from SmartThings today!

Does the store status say shipped or Ready still?
Edit: Mine still says Ready but low and behold I just got it off of the front step.
Good thought - I hadnāt checked. It says Ready still.
I got mine today and removed 10 devices from V1 and added them all to V2 in less than an hour. I had no problems at all with the transition.
The two issues/questions I do have are:
-
I had a good security app that I canāt seem to find now. I have a two-story house and I had a sleep alarm set so that when the hub went into Goodnight mode, it armed the alarm and used all of the door sensors and one downstairs motion sensor as triggers. If we went downstairs, the upstairs motion sensor saw us and paused the alarm for 15 minutes. It then reset the alarm. Does anyone know which app Iām talking about?

I thought Hub V2 had automatic support for wifi devices (FOSCAM, Nest, Chamberlain garage door opener) without having to add new device types in the web dashboard. Was I wrong or is that coming or did I not find it in the setup?
