Why some SmartApps may not be publishable

That’s why WebSockets, CoAP and MQTT were invented. These protocols have been used successfully by less glamorous IoT platforms. Any chance SmartTings will deploy one of those and become a true IoT platform some day?

My first Smart App. Help needed

Do we have an option to connect to a Web Socket in the IDE?

Server Sent Event. Is it possible?

Dear Community, I’m trying to figure out how to use server sent events to enable instant updates for my Web Dashboard. If I figure this out it would be a great feature to enable instant updates! From what I researched and tried, it seems that it is not possible, since request time is limited to 20 seconds. Maybe I’m missing something obvious? I tried to follow this tutorial. At the example below, when I hit the endpoint I get one event reaching the browser, as expected. def stream() { render contentType: "text/event-stream", data: "id: ${now()}\nretry: 10000\ndata: stream ${getTS()}\n\n" } If I change the endpoint above to this, then there are 5 debug statements in my console, then the method times out. I have no events reaching the browser. def stream() { for (def i = 0; i < …

Feature Request: Server-Sent Events

It would be great to have support for server-sent events (http://dev.w3.org/html5/eventsource/), which could allow SmartApps to forward events (temperature changed, contact opened/closed, motion detected/ceased, etc.) to clients, extending the existing endpoint capabilities. I believe this would also free up resources on the SmartThings Cloud, which are currently tied up by endpoint clients having to continuously poll for new data rather than simply waiting for server-sent events.
