SmartThings app just updated on my iPhone. Version 1.6.67. After the update, when I try to add or edit an automation that changes the temperature on my thermostat, it only allows inputs ranging 0-40. That’s good and all for Celsius but doesn’t work for Fahrenheit. I have a Honeywell T6 Pro z-wave thermostat. Please fix this bug. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/smartthings/original/3X/c/7/c70a63acbf4947153f14c5e6afea1e80e393015b.png) ---

Well holy cow. It looks like something changed because this wasn’t happening to me either, until now. Mine are Centralite Pearl thermostats. EDIT: This is happening only when including the thermostat in Automations or Scenes. ![Screenshot_20210620-080437_SmartThings](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/smartthings/original/3X/f/3/f3b545268370414b3b752bb13761bf6d57596690.jpeg) ---

Do you have a support ticket regarding this? We haven’t been able to replicate the issue and getting mobile app logs could help. ---

@Brad_ST I have as part of my incident with STHM reporting incorrect states on several devices. Ticket number 1209633 has app logs from just a few days ago. ---

Just to bump this, I created an account solely to search for a solution to this. New the SmartThings in general, but it didn’t feel right. iOS device with most recent version of app. ---

I am experiencing this same issue - also on iOS. The app and IDE show Fahrenheit, but automations appear to be restricting to a Celsius temperature range (0-40). I have opened a ticket as well 1227564. I also made a video of this happening, which I sent but may be useful to see happening - [Smartthings App Using Celsius for Automations but in Fahrenheit For Everything Else - YouTube](https://youtube.com/shorts/qP8SRHydw9E?feature=share) ---

It may just be a coincidence - but mine just started working correctly. I tried creating a scene and noticed the degrees were in Fahrenheit correctly. Then I went to automations again and they were correct as well. I do not know if opening scene creation fixed it or it was just a coincidence, but maybe that can help someone. ---

No go yet for me. I just tried again a few minutes ago. Are you guys using a stock DTH, or custom? ---

Has anyone been able to figure this problem out? I tried creating a scene as mentioned but the temperature options just show in Celsius. I have a Nest thermostat and a SmartThings button that I’m trying to use as temperature sensors for automations and I only get the Celsius option for both. I purchased an Aeotec MultiSensor 6 and installed it yesterday. If I use the default device handler then the same problem happens. However, if I use the manufacturer recommended device handler then the options in the automations show in Fahrenheit. I contacted SmartThings support but was told in a round about way that this is a known issue but there are no known fixes at this time. I directed them to this string and they viewed the video that Hiram\_Davis posted. They created ticket number 1246789 for me and said that they would also reference the other ticket numbers listed in the string. However, the first message in this string was on June 19th so I don’t have a lot of confidence that anyone at SmartThings is actively working on a solution. Therefore if anyone has figured out a workaround it would be greatly appreciated. ---

As of this time I have not been able to find a solution. Since the time I posted my message I believe there have been a couple of ST App updates but this particular problem wasn’t one of the bugs they resolved. It’s very frustrating. ---

OK I’m having the same issue, I believe as most of you. All my sensors are in Fahrenheit when you go into the devices. When I start an automation and select the sensor and temperature the only choice I have is Celsius. How is it that Samsung can do updates and not troubleshoot this prior to releasing an update? Is there a workaround for this and why is Samsung so quiet. This is like one of the most basic things that we use smart things for. I really don’t want to have to convert everything to Celsius. It’s such a pain in the ass ---

I was having the same problem. I believe I may have found a work around. I logged into Groovy IDE and found the device. The I added a temp offset of 1 degree and it started working in Fahrenheit. Perhaps you can simply offset it in the app as well. ---

I have been having issues with my location mode not changing lately in my “goodbye” routine. I usually don’t update apps unless something is broken because I find more often than not things break that were previously working. Well, I decided to go ahead and update to the latest version, my icon changes from white to blue. So I deleted my “goodbye” routine and started from scratch, only to find this temp 0-40 bug. I don’t see an option in “manage locations” anymore to change to F instead of 0. I can’t believe this bug still exists after them knowing about it for years. Anyone have any ideas on what I could try? I don’t see a “temp offset” option in the backend web configuration… EDIT\* I found a workaround for now. I was trying to modify the routine on my iphone but also have an android I use for work. On my android, which also has a recently updated version of ST, it let me input the F values. 😮‍💨 ---

Yes you can, but it doesn’t fix the problem! All my settings are set to F°, but automations still limit temperature values to \<=40. ---

Same problem here. Had an evening routine for 2+ years to heat/cool down bedroom. Now temp is limited to 0-40! Work around is Alexa routine or Honeywell schedule. Will Samsung ever fix this?? Update: Response from Samsung from opened case: We"re sorry to know about the issue you are facing with the routines. We thank you for bringing this to our notice. We would like to inform you that we have noticed the issue with routines where some of the users are unable to set the temperatures, We"re aware of this issue and Our team is working on the issue to get the issue resolved at the earliest. For now we dont have any time line, Once the issue is resolved all the users will be notified. In the meanwhile we appreciate your time and patience.
