@JDRoberts, I just read (most of) the thread on Beacons and SmartThings https://community.smartthings.com/t/beaconthings-beacons-and-smartthings/20441/110 where you explain your setup. sorry, I should have done my research before posting!
You mention you use a variety of Beacon apps on iOS devices in your home. Beecon+ for example. I can’t get BeaconThings working on my iPad (it’s an Air 2 so does support iBeacons) due to it being an iPhone app and the UI not scaling correctly. This is a real shame as it is well integrated into SmartThings and SmartRules but i understand Brice @obycode is a bit snowed under with other work so BeaconThings is on the back burner.
Ideally i need to run a SmartThings routine when i approach my house with the beacon, which would unlock the door and disarm home monitor. With BeaconThings i could have done this with SmartRules. How could i achieve this with Beecon+ or an alternative app? You mention the Maker IFTTT channel. If i hooked this up to a Beecon+ trigger i could then action something in SmartThings. To run a Routine though i would have to set up a virtual switch?
Any tips on how you have solved this would be great
