Update on SmartThings Classic Shutdown

Announcements
23

The Classic app is still available in the App Store :frowning:

24

Yeah if it’s not working anymore they really need to pull it down from there

25

It took them a year to remove the Samsung Artik app from the Play store (and only after I pointed it out). I also noted the Alexa Skill for Artik was still around… and they still haven’t removed that.

At least with the shutdown of the Classic app the Artik SmartApp no longer appears in the SmartThings Marketplace. :roll_eyes:

26

Yep, aside from STHM, pretty much nothing other than custom smart apps down here in Aus. Having reached the limits of what I can do logic wise in the app, I am diving into WebCoRE. Fun, but a good deal of learning required. Still may have to switch to Hubitat given the execution lags for many things.

27

I FINALLY moved to the new app. Then found out that my APPLE WATCH IS NOT SUPPORTED!?!? What the heck, Samsung??? I’ve been telling people to use Smartthings for years, then you REMOVE CRITICAL FUNCTIONALITY, then FORCE people to use your new crappy app?

Oh, by the way, Apple ships 7.2 MILLION watches per quarter. Not exactly a niche product.

PLEASE FIX THIS ASAP!

28

We can hope.

Meanwhile, if you have an IFTTT subscription (or you can get by with only three applets, which is all you get on the free tier), you can create actions with their button widget.

29

I have missed the migration. Is there a list of steps I should follow to get myself back up and running? I downloaded the new app and can get in. some of my devices are there, some are not. I cannot login to the smartthings website, which leaves me confused. Do I have an account or need a new account? Is there a document that says … “So you missed the migration. These are the steps/procedures required to become operational again.”

We will be implementing the next phase of the SmartThings Classic app shutdown on Monday, December 14, 2020. This will include rate limiting and ultimately deleting SmartApps for the below legacy Solutions Modules. If you are using these SmartApps, you should immediately replicate their functionality in the new SmartThings App through Automations or SmartThings Home Monitor.

We will be blocking all access to the SmartThings Classic app at the time we begin this work to prevent unpredictable behavior at user locations.

Thanks,

SmartThings Team

This still can’t be done in the new app via Automations or STHM.

32

@Automated_House I believe that can be done with rboys app.

33

Is ‘Weather Station’ the same as ‘SmartWeather Station Tile’? I see Weather Station listed under Hello Home in the IDE. Is SmartWeather Station Tile about to go away next Monday?

34

It was added to Smart Lighting a while back to allow Hello Home to be removed without breaking sunrise and sunset in legacy apps.

35

I still see Weather Station under Hello Home. I use SmartWeather Station Tile in all of my thermostat automations. Are they the same thing and do I risk all of them breaking next Monday?

I have seen the weather listed at the top of the new app, but has less accurate weather data than SmartWeather Station Tile. Is this the Smart Lighting weather?

Thanks

36

That’s not the point. It shouldn’t require a third party app since it was possible out-of-the-box with the Classic app.

37

What’s the new app official features equivalent for this?

38

I agree with you.

39

There is none unless you install your own smartapp.

40

There are multiple ways to do it not with the official features, include @rboy, sharptools, @johnconstantelo smartapp, etc. These are detailed in the community FAQ.

FAQ: Get a Notification if Something is Left On, Open, or Unlocked for X Minutes (2021)

But I’d like to know how the author of post #30 in this thread expects people to do this with the official features.

As far as I am aware the Weather Station smartapp has no involvement in accessing weather information for the SmartWeather Station Tile, which gets its info from TWC via functions exposed by ST.

What the Weather Station smartapp does do is generate sunrise/sunset information for your location for use by legacy smartapps such as webCoRE and Smart Lighting. I don’t know if it has ever had any other function.

Exactly what the deal is with that weather info in the new app isn’t clear. It appeared unheralded and pretty much remains that way, as go the related bits of Automations which don’t seem to work.

42

Excellent! I know at one time they had been saying they were going to fix the SmartWeather Station Tile to display temp instead of humidity on the tile in the new IOS app, but it never happened. I was afraid they stopped trying to fix it and were getting rid of it.
