I’d like to say it’s been a fun 5 years with you, but it hasn’t. I moved to the ST platform almost exactly 5 years ago today after years of earlier home automation technologies starting way back with X10. I had seen a lot of promise with the extensibility of the ST platform, the strong development…

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:. :+1: I’m happy for nuclear power plants to be the exception to the rule.

Or, you can sack off this godawful system like do many others, admit it used to be pretty good, accept its a load of bollocks now. And happily move on. Only to pop back to the forum occasionally to see how many ‘new’ faces are posting about various platform isues. :slight_smile:

As @JDRoberts always says: choice is good I’m pretty new, did my first smart switch about 2 years ago. It’s purely a convenience for me, nothing critical on the platform. It’s nice to be able to say “Alexa, lights out” at bedtime instead of walking around flipping switches. And motion controlled g…

Wanna talk about my experience so far with SmartThings. It might seem like I’m a fan boy to you but I’d tell you SmartThings earns my trust and respect. I definitely understand your situation and struggles, which I too suffered from ST down times. And I still have one open ticket with their integra…

[image] pauly: And honestly from my personal observation last year SmartThings had improved on their reliability, you may argue with that though but I actually saw less interruptions to my system. You know there’s been a platform outage going on more than 12 hours right now, yes? I believe m…

My system is fine at mo, did have a few wobbles around midnight but currently no issues found ( UK)

I had and outage yesterday, but it only lasted a couple hours. My only lasting problem was that it rearranged my home page. Since I only have around 60 devices it was a quick fix.

Yes and that’s the reason I came to the forum in the first place :laughing: and you’re right I’m one of the lucky guys, my system is mostly functional except for some loss history and a few times of command loss. This platform outage is 2021 though, I was referring to 2020 and in my bad memory ther…

I’m going to concur. I’ve had a relatively good experience with ST since I abandoned Wink last May. Albeit there are some issues and sometimes the app is slow to refresh, but overall, the system seems to be up and running correctly most of the time. I’ve been able to do much more than I ever cou…

So long SmartThings

You know there’s been a platform outage going on more than 12 hours right now, yes?

I believe most people have been affected by that, but maybe you’ve been lucky.
