Why do some routines run locally vs cloud?

Aside from devices still running custom DTHs that are in the cloud, is there a list of known things that prevent routines from running locally?

I’ve got several routines that I use to turn off all my outside lights in various circumstances. I have tried using a lighting group and a scene. Both of those seem to prevent local operation even though all the devices being controlled are on Edge drivers or using stock DTHs.

Many scenes require the cloud (it used to be all), but I don’t know the exact details.

That’s the thing, we don’t know what forces cloud execution (I wonder if Samsung knows - because they certainly don’t seem like they want to tell us.)

I have made virtual momentary switches to replace my scenes and just placed those devices in a “Scenes” room to have local operation.

I find these things make Routines run in the cloud:

  • Scenes
  • Lighting Groups
  • Member Location
  • Devices from cloud->cloud integrations
  • Notification actions
  • Weather triggers
  • STHM triggers and actions
  • Any Day time precondition
  • Cloud virtual devices

Could be more but these are the ones I know of to date.

Using Devices from two different hubs in one routine. That would include the new station hub.
