Hi, I’m new to HA and Smartthings, though I do have Hue. I just set up my ST v2 hub today and my things (the starter kit plus two extra motion sensors). I have read a LOT in this community but am confused about the necessity of the ST app. I know it most likely MUST be used for creating your ST acco…

[image] newtoha: I’m wondering at what point I can just ignore options in the ST app itself and move to a different app. There aren’t many other “view and control” mobile Apps (and only 1 pure web App). Only the SmartThings official native mobile App can create account, add devices and Smart…

Generally speaking, SmartThings app is intended to be used to set up your Home Automation system, and the only time you’d need to open the app, is to adjust your settings. This is true for everything, with ONE exception. If you set up the Smart Home Monitoring, the only official way to dismiss incid…

How annoying you mean :slight_smile: - I really like my phone, but if I use SHM, I might as well get a super glue and attach my phone to my hand. I cannot believe there is (still) no official delay, no option to stop the annoying hourly reminders AND no other official way of dismissing incidents. We…

Thank you for the information and suggestions. I will check them out! I’ve seen the SmartRules app on the iOS app store but have been undecided what apps out there (either iOS or SmartApps) offer most or all of what I want to do. My needs aren’t that unusual. In fact, they are probably quite basic b…

I have a contact sensor that is hacked into the door bell. I forgot about it until I tried to use SHM. It was hilarious when ST reported “Intrusion at Door Bell” every hour after someone has rang the bell.
