SmartThings Outage - Feb 02 2018

It’s not particularly unusual, but the widespread outages have been a little more frequent than typical.

There was at least one major outage every month in 2016 and 2017 except, I think, for one of the January’s.

And there’s usually been a partial outage glitch which would only affect some customers or only some devices about every 10 days.

You can see past history at the two links I gave above: the official status page will typically list only widespread major outages, the first bug reports will list more of the partials.

The company has been saying since the spring of 2016 that they were going to make reliability a top priority, but if you look at the actual data, they continue to push out a lot of new features, which is nice, but MFOP ( maintenance free operating period) has yet to go past a month, and is often less than that. :disappointed_relieved:
