With this said then a clapper switch would be just as effective…lol I use it to manage a vacation home and depend on it too much perhaps. Is SmartThings just really a toy at this point? I know nothing is really fool proof but then again if you believe in all the hype they generate then is should be a reliable system and it’s simply not. I truly want it to work and have spent $1,000’s of dollars on this system but I never stop tinkering with it, and that’s not the reason I purchased it. I hope they get it right…soon.
