What does this mean? That SmartLighting no longer works? Because thatās what it means for me. As of two days ago two automations (outside lights on/off with sunset/sunrise) are no longer triggering. The scenes behind work just fine if I run them manually.
The old one was based on Groovy and is most likely now dead.
Smart Lighting was one of a couple of Groovy SmartApps that Samsung recreated, mostly, for the new architecture. Both the old and new versions are region-locked, not available everywhere.
I dont think that is the only indicator, the new version can be installed alongside the groovy version, it is the automations within that indicate if you have been moved, if your groovy automations in SL appear in the tiny text version, then you have been moved
I have the tiny text, but only one instance of the smartapp āSmart Lightingā, and old graphic next to its name (not the light bulb). Iām UK based
Can someone just point me in the direction of knowing how to move my locks and thermostats over to new Edge drivers without having to re-pair them into ST? I have SLGA installed, I can use it to generate codes, but am seeing inconsistent behavior with the existing custom DHs that still show up in the ST app. Iāve read about excluding the ālock/thermostatās fingerprintā in the web, but am just trying to confirm if thatās whatās needed and if by doing that Iām going to have a critical production device drop offline in the process.
The entire point of waiting until the āofficialā transition was promoted as the promise of an automatic transition for lose devices. That seems to have resulted in what feels like a shell of IOT devices whoās status is entirely unclear.
Thanks @jkp so maybe I interpreted the notice above wrong. I read it as a sequential process where migration = complete when SmartApps are shutdown, but now that I re-read it it sounds like devices and SmartApps migrating at different times, which makes this intermediary time when devices kinda-sorta-work pretty challenging.
Groovy devices and SmartApps will sunset soon once we have completed migrations (Note: Groovy SmartApps and Devices may be sunset at different times).
Itās changed from the initial announcement in September 2022.
Originally it was planned to be sequential, with devices completing their migration by December 31, 2022, and smartapps continuing on for a little bit after that.
But then they ran into some issues with the migration and developing some of the stock drivers and they ended up postponing the changeover date for devices to sometime in first quarter 2023. But, as you noticed, appear to have kept the original plan for shutting off groovy hosting for smartapps. So here we are.
Thanks @JDRoberts. Thatās a far more helpful and succinct description of whatās happening than anything Iāve seen officially posted here. I probably just need to get more familiar with SharpTools, since that seems to be the path that many others are using to replicate the kind of conditional workflows, triggers, and calendar integrations that we previously had in the commercial SmartThings apps.
Thanks. Iāll admit I find it Annoying that there hasnāt been an official change log for the migration plan. instead, they go in and quietly edit the original announcement post without doing anything to call attention to the changes. Itās only when sharpeyed community members spot them that the changes become part of the general conversation.
Thanks for the info - I donāt know which version I had (how would you even tell), I simply got rid of it and replaced it with an automation using the existing scenes. Old vs new, should have been migrated if my automations were based on the old one. Oh well.
I know itās been said many times before and Iām just piling on, but this is just a terrible customer experience. No in app notices, vague details published, no clear migration tooling. Itās just frustrating. Not something thatās ready for the average customer who doesnāt want to or canāt deal with the complications of the IOT mess.
This afternoon, all of my automations disappeared. While I presume this is a result of the transition, most were developed in the last 120 days using the mobile interface and no exotic logic. I can understand that some - alarm and the garage interface - would disappear. But loss of 49 out of 49, most using time and local sensors as triggers. No webcore.
What am I missing that all automations go away?
Same here, but if I go to an individual device and look at the routines I see them, but I am not able to edit them. Iām assuming this might be related to the firmware update that got pushed out today. I am hoping they return soon. Also, the new Smart Lighting app disappeared for me as wellā¦
All regions say āHubs, Devices, Automationsā are āUnder Maintenanceā right now, so Iāll sit tight and see.

Thanks for the information, would never have looked there. You saved me and probably a lot of other users.
That they are functioning - yeah! Now to see what didnāt make the grade and need reprogramming. Funny why they are removed, even when created by the system within system rules.
The new routines interface should at least have a ācleanā template instead of only the pre-filled use cases - like vacuuming or cooking.!
