With some hesitation, I am announcing that I have decided to convert SmartTiles into a Closed Source Project and remove the open source from GitHub. Repeating what I said in March, when SmartTiles.click project was launched in it’s present form, I am grateful for the overwhelming support of the Sma…

That’s an important distinction to make between home automation and home control. I believe most users need both solutions as there are somethings you just don’t want to automate in my opinion (automatically unlocking your door for example). I think the smart things mobile app is ok, not great, at…

[image] JDRoberts: “Many of us prefer a mix of home control and home automation, for all kinds of reasons.” “I’m all in favor of automagic event control as an option. But it doesn’t replace the need for a solid manual trigger UI as another option. There’s no “should” preference for one method o…

“Someday” everything will be great. (I read that on Kickstarter. :wink:) But unlike most people for whom any degree of home automation beyond a push button remote is mostly just a tinkerer’s hobby, my “now” requires environmental controls. I can’t turn on a light, open a door, or get out of bed wi…

Regarding being customizable, www.simplerulebuilder.com (built by @JoeC ) is the closest non-code gui tool to create a scenario (a rule) for what you need to have happen. I would love to see this granular control in creating our own custom “app” exist along with SmartTiles, as well as even more granu…

Meaning to have the home adapt?

Home automation, where “Things should auto magically actuate based on sensors without human intervention” is an amazing goal. However, I doubt that I will live long enough to have the necessary chip installed in my brain to allow for this. Maybe I’m the oddball out, but at least for now how does ST …

[image] Ben: This is SmartThings’ goal. Until then. Please spend some resources on the dashboard. Some of us actually need it. Not to mention it’s also a free advertisement with ST logo on it. Win win for everyone.

Sensors is not the right approach, at least not by itself. Perhaps you’ve never dealt with legal liability issues, otherwise you’d know better than to guess about sensors and infants. No wallet is deep enough to withstand even the slightest mistakes there… What’s necessary is an understanding of …

This is really discouraging. I have Smartthings at home, and am looking for automation in a small church. I need to manage them separately so I can give others access, but not to my home. From what I can find from research, this was an option, and it sounds like it was a good option. Now, I don’t se…

I’d not heard it before, but the distinction of home control vs home automation is critical. I expect the technology to continuously improve the automation portion, reducing the control component, but probably not totally in my lifetime. And I observe that the more I’m able to automate things, often…
