Will there be an end to the mess that is two apps?

I don’t know how big the issue is, I am on iOS 13.1.2 (Xs Max) and I never get logged out.

There is a history tab now from the left hamburger menu on IOS

the ios logout issue is very big and common. But seems like a fix is coming. While i’m not as bold to say i could use the prod version of the new app 100%, the future looks very good and it seems like someone at Samsung/SmartThings was listening to the user survey that was done several months back. :sun_with_face:

Oh I see it! I am on Note 8. I think this is good enough :slight_smile: Gonna start using this new app buddy. Really looking forward to this new rules engine stuff. Won’t be able to attend the SDC – thank you for the code and invite. Any ETA on this rules engine? Its OK if it is still in private preview and you cannot share.

As I understand, this is fixed in the next app release.

@jody.albritton, @Nezmo couldn’t have said it any better. I’ve tried to give the new app so many opportunities, but it just falls flat in terms of the functionality and speed I currently have in Classic. Most recently I tried to move all my automations over and that failed miserably. SHM in the new app all of a sudden just crapped out with no fix in sight, and then I was not able to add any more custom automations due to server failure, and then I had ghost scenes/automations still running even after deleting them.

I sure hope all the hype given to the new rules engine can do the simple things we had in Classic. I already posted in another discussion some simple things the new app must do: (just to name a few)

Hi @jody.albritton, thanks for the updates, sounds like the new app will soon be improving some more. One issue I still have is with the 20 room limit in the new app that we don’t have in the old app or IDE, as I have 22 rooms.
I was also going to comment of the speed of loading the Thing list but having just tested that, I find the new app now lists faster than the classic app, so that seems to have improved recently.

now, if only location services could be used to arm/disarm STHM :slight_smile: :heavy_check_mark:

This is the only reason I had to step back to the classic app :disappointed:

Like if everyone has left then arm STHM or when someone arrives disarm?

both, like in Classic

yes to both

Disarming STHM via a keypad is something that’s also needed.

Need WWST hardware for that first. if the ST Access that JKP posted ever happens and allows STHM control, that would be :100:

Where is the best place to bookmark new developments of the platform? Is there a forum on what’s happening and when?

Shameless plug (if you’re on Twitter)

Also, there’s an announcements category in this forum you can subscribe to.

Look at the release notes for the major November app versions. Should arrive sometime next month if everything continues on current course.

A couple of things still missing (not even in the staging app):

  • Ability to control SHM from apps
  • Video tile for camera devices
  • DTH’s with multiple capabilities don’t render all the capabilities

@RBoy, is the Carousel tile working or has any replacement? Maybe you can add that too.
