📌UPDATE! After your many comments, I decided to create a webCoRE video. Check it out if you haven't already! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bpqWY8d7ucy-f2w.html

This has been the most helpful video I've seen on your channel! I'm a more advanced smart home user and I learned several things from this video.

Thanks for watching! There are so many things I wish I would have known with SmartThings. Anything you wish you knew starting out?

In another of your KZfaq videos you mentioned that some things aren't hubs yet are called hubs or marketed as hubs. So I want to thank you for pointing stuff out like that for someone who's new like me. Those types of nuances are highly valuable, seriously. I'm getting ready to swing into 2014 with some smart home stuff LOL

WEbcore is amazing... I have one piston that runs my entire nightly lockdown routine. 9pm lock the deadbolts, check for garage doors open ( if open, close), arm all exterior cameras (blinks), turn on all exterior lights to 10% (color if i want). Turn on table lamps inside the house to 10%. Arm door sensors to signal alarm inside (1 chirp) if door is opened (just in case kids wander). Also if motion is detected outside by a camera, all exterior lights turn on 100% brightness. Wait 3 minutes and turn back to 10%. Turn off lights and disarm cameras at 7am. etc etc. Webcore is extremely powerful. Im guessing im barely scratching the surface too.

Hay Man, thanks for the tips. I am just starting in with smarththings.

I'm a recent discoverer of your channel. I'm really enjoying your creativity and style. Thank you.

I am so new to automation. I have a smart things hub v3 and Alexa. I'm hoping to get going soon. Thanks for the help with your uploads 👍👍

I tried both apps starting out a few months back, but the classic app was the best or did the most for my needs.

Now that Stringify is on the countdown for the chopping block I have started messing around with WebCoRE but I personally don't find it that easy to use Id love to watch a more in depth video about creating pistons with it Most of my Stringify flows were fairly basic yet not doable with other automation apps Things like Dusk on Dawn off lighting Manual on smart switch Timed off Motion on Timed off lights Love your videos Thanks for all that you do for the smart home community

I've been using ST now for over a year (coming on 2). I want to know more about all the things you mentioned. Which app do I use? I still use both. I can't seem to add things in the Connect app, but when I add them in the classic they show up in the connect app. Great video. I look forward to learning more about all that.

Classic app for the win

Using the old smartthings app was the best advice ever. The new one crashes everytime when I try to add my location. With the classic one it just worked.

Thanks for the great tips. Next, please WebCore!

Great video! And yes, I am especially interested in WebCore!! What can it do complementary to the app, or better than the app? What are cool things you can do combining it with the nest?, Can you link it to internet parameters such as weather, temperature, sunrise etc. And does WebCore support all devices (e.g. the smart key/dongle,). PS, keep up the great work

Hi. Thanks for the nice videos. Do you have any recommendation for a siren, in or out doors? Thanks!

Ty for the information.

Hey amazing video I would like.to know If I get a SmartThings and set it up with Google mini and get Google led light and other Google enable stuffs will i have access to everything on the SmartThings app or only on the Google app?

Great video! Question, I have multiple Alexas throughout my home along with wyze door sensors, cams, and pan cam - I also just purchased a Smart Dry & want to continue expanding. Is smart things the only hub that will utilize wyze/Alexa due to the virtual switch option. Is there any other that would be more streamlined to one app instead of 3+ ? Let me know your thoughts if you have any advice. Thanks!

Awesome videos, keep it up :) on a side note where did you get the lamp with the pink lift bulb in it? Its proper cool

Yes! More WebCore

I saw that Mr Robot wallpaper hiding in the background ;) Can't wait for season 4!

+1 for benefits of web core video. Thanks for investing in your channel, keep it up.

Thanks thanks thanks as susuall for the smartthings tips and tricks. But have a question, how did you connect the nest cam? And does it record a video for intruder alert?

In the new smartthings app, how do you add the smart apps? I have never used the old version, only had the hub for 5 days... Thanks.

i have to say that i found Wink Hub to be far easier and simpler to use, i realize i am still getting used Smartthings, but man its a challenge. MY BIG QUESTION TO YOU!! can i use my Wink Relays on Smartthings, i thought i saw somewhere that this is possible, if so how? Thanks so much for you awesome informative and helpful videos, its awesome.

Please make a video on how to install and successfully operate (add new smartapps) on ST community installer.

Please let me know where I can find instructions on how to add MyQ enabled devices. I would like to add my garage door opener.

Good info. Where do you find the "Community Installer" App and how to install it? Would like more detail on using WebCore. I've installed it (well, it appears in my list of "Automation - SmartApps)), but don't know what to do with it now; that is, how to get started using it to write an app. I use the Classic app, but wasn't consulted/notified when they put out the Connect app so I have no experience with it. I figured installing both might screw up something, so I've stuck with Classic as I understand it mostly. Thanks for your videos. I always learn something from them.

Very good video. Please add one about webcore.

Definitely should do a detailed WebCoRE tutorial

Sorry I'm new to the whole SmartThings. I am using the new app. Can you make a video on how to install the SmartThings community installer, step by step like you did the web core.

bought a hub and directly installed the latest app, think im regretting not going for the classic after i found out theres a classic app. seems way more flexible. just bit afraid they would pull the plug on the classic up and need to redo it all again ...

Hi there, I a bit of a beginner on this subject so I was wondering if I could please get your opinion on a couple 2 things I am looking to achieve: 1 - I have 2 LIFX downlights on my hallway and I'd like to have them activated by motion so I was wondering if you could recommend a compatible smart motion sensor? 2 - I have an exhaust fan in a cabinet with some IT equipment and I am currently using a smart TPLink plug on a schedule however I'd like to have it instead running with a smart temperature sensor which then would trigger the smart plug as a certain temperature is reached. Would you please recommend a smart temperature sensor be suitable for this? I am currently managing everything out of Google Home but I'd love to do some of the cool automation stuff like you have posted. Thanks in advance.

I watch these videos with my hubby. I looked up and saw the Bat Signal, where did you get it or the pieces to make it? Thanks

Hi. Can you use smart things to control IR devices like TV?

Hello, I'm new to the automation scene. I just bought a Yale Assure Lock SL w/Z-Wave. In order for me to simply be able to access it remotely, will the SmartThings V3 be all I need to do that? Thx in advance for your help! ;-)

hi there! I have many hue lamps in my house, but on my kitchen I have choose the Ikea u10 (because they were alot cheaper), but I could't connect them with hue, without a ikea bridge. I guess they weren't updated.. Anyways, they do came with a controller. My idea is to user this controller for all the lamps of my home, or to trigger a scene or automation. Do you know if this is possible?

Can you cover Hubitat?

where did you get that bat light its amzing !

Hi, can the new SmartThings Hub 3 be used with the old classic app or does it need the new app only? Thanks

Would love a more in depth video on WebCore and also more about integrating Alexa with Smarthings

Now that Iris is shutdown , how can I pair my devices with Smartthings hub specifically keypad and window/door sensors. I got the thermostat and smoke detectors to pair but nothing else. Thanks in advance.

Great video. Do you know if there is any way to have smart things turn on a second device when another device is turned on? For example, having a wifi switch on the wall turn on a smart plug or hue light as well as what it is physically wired to.

Thanks for your videos. Need your help. The older multipurpose sensor, the temperature sensor specifically, it's it the same sensor on both? Also, how accurate is it and where is it located. Last, is there anything better you recommend that works with ifttt and wemo? Thanks

Is there a "sensor" that can go inside alarm panel and use existing alarm door/window/motion sensors for a smart hub?

Hello. Do you know of any IR remote controller that connect directly with ST, without having to use IFTTT in the middle? Thank you.

Where do I find the Smartthings Community installer app that you mentioned at the start of the video. As want to integrate my nest set, doorbell and thermostat

How long have I seen your videos, in fact I have a smarthome based on smarthings but recently there was a problem with the hub that I have is the Samsung adt, an unavailable claim code message appears and I've been browsing but without success I don't know if for being in the smarthome field know or you can have information about it

I am a retired IBM mainframe computer programmer, so using WebCORE is very interesting to me, but I am having difficulty figuring out the interface with IFTTT. A video on this subject would be most helpful. Also, in playing with WebCORE, I hav noticed that there is no intuitive way to detect the presence of a device such as an iPhone. Any tricks< Thanks. John Vowell Fort Myers, FL

How often do your sensors disconnect from the hub????

I prefer classic app, but I have to use the new app, because when sending notifications the classic app takes hours. The new app is instant. No clue why, but I cannot use the classic app for this reason.

Brian, I have the Ring Security Camera setup and have a Samsung Smartthings TV being delivered tomorrow. I would like to have it set up in my kitchen so when someone approaches the front door the Ring will trigger the TV to display the Ring camera feed. Is this possible?

I went through the steps. When trying to login to nest it keeps saying (oops something went wrong). I tried resetting password. I have restarted my phone. I have done everything, but it won't register the correct password being entered.

Since the Nest thermostat merge to google, I can’t log in anymore to nest manager.

Hello, in the minute 3:34you said that the only way to do local automations in Smartthings is by using the smart lightning app. But even if I use a Wifi bulb like LIFX, the automation will run locally? The motion sensor to trigger the automation is a Zigbee sensor.

Can you make a video on Yeelights and all of the Xiaomi sensors and how they work with Smart things and Google Assistant? The sensors are really cheap but most of Xiaomi's products don't integrate with Google Home directly.

Please I need help, my philips hue bridge keeps showing offline on my ST hub v3, I removed the hue bridge and added it multiple times, shows online for few minutes the goes back offline, however, the bulbs work perfectly from philips hue native app, thanks

I used to have the iris system before they folded! Now when I try to use Smart things, I have to perform a Zwave exclusion first. After I do that, Smart things can’t detect my devices...please help!

Classic won't work with V3 Hub. I can't get my V3 Hub to work through ethernet. Ideas?

Which RGB light is on the shelf behind you. Right above the flower pot. ???

I am new to smart things and recently started trying my hands on them it's cool though..but I run into a problem when I started using the smart things HUB. I will be very grateful if can help me on how to connect Z-wave and Zigbee switches to the smart things HUB.

Classic App!

Hey, nice vid. I'm considering buying my 1st SmartThings hub. All of my smart light bulbs and sensors are now all straight connected to wifi router and my question is: Besides Zigbee and etc can you connect to smartthings v3 even wifi sensors and lightbulb like xiaomi yeelight and etc?

Hi! I am just starting with SmartThings and I find you videos absolutely amazing!! Very helpful! I was wondering if you would have a specific overview of devices/hardware you are currently using? e.g. what are you using to control your garage motor? Keep the good work up! Lasse

Hey, is there a way to use my zigbee remote to control music? Is that something that webcore would be good for?

Hi! I if want to buy a zigbee or zwave bulb or any device, do I need to look for the 'Works with SmartThings' or just for being zigbee or zwave it will work with SmartThings?

I installed the St community installer. Tried to add NST manager it says Client id and secret both missing. Apparently, NST manager is not being supported anymore. The fix is to open a nest dev account. I go to open an account and they are not taking any new takers. The Nest manager is useless.

Hi, Not sure if it is the right place to ask but I am moving from Wink hub 2 to SmartThings. I have a mixed environment : GE bulbs, Ecosmart bulbs (no name brand), IKEA tradfri hub with a few bulbs, harmony hub, Ring Pro doorbell, Schlage lock and a few Wyze cam. And presently all this equipment works with Alexa. Will some or all of this equipment work with SmartThings and Alexa ?

One question - How easy is it to do multi-condition routines or automations? I'd consider getting SmartThings if I could set things to trigger "IF this AND this". Example being if I am detected as home, then turn the lights on at sunset (vs if I am not home, then leave them off). I guess Web Core could do this too, but just wondering if there is an easier way (plus this seems to be lacking in the Hue, Lutron, Kasa, Amazon, etc interfaces).

How do I use my ring camera's (doorbell) motion to turn on a smart bulb inside my house?

You really sum up how its all getting out of control. (LOL) you have old app, new app, webcore, IDE, smart apps, ifttt, WIFI apps, device handlers, linking accounts and on and on. If you were hit by a bus tomorrow who would know what the hell your smart setup is ? It needs to get simpler but its getting more complex.

Can I use ST v2 devices with the v3 hub?

Great video!! I follow the instructions to install the community installer. I copy and past the text, add new app, save it and then publish it for me. When I open the community installer on my SmartThings App it comes with the following message:- "OAUTH Error, Oauth is not enabled for ST-community-Installer application. Please click remove and review the installation directions again"

classic app only allows things with the smartthings hub and the connect app doesn't require the hub from what I can tell, because i set up location automation's with my s8+ without the hub and with classic nothing works and prompts me to connect a smartthings hub.

What’s the best platform

Can you explain "Location Mode"? I'd like to see an automation program operating a garage door opener with geofencing. I'm having a very hard time trying to get it to work. I'm using the new Smartthings Connect app. I can get the door to open when I arrive home, but when I push the door button inside the house or on the app to close it, the door will close but will immediately open again. Very frustrating! I've been trying different programming for over a week now, but I am still missing something. I feel like I need to be using the Location Mode, but I have had no luck yet. I have noticed a location mode in the menu of the Home screen under "Manage location". What is that for and how is it used . I just don't know the rules of this app and am getting disappointed in it. Ive searched for garage door automation with the Smartthings Connect app, but people just talk about how easy it is, but nobody actually shows how the write the program and make it work correctly. I have a Craftsman garage door opener that is 20 yrs old, so there is only 2 wires that have to touch briefly to make it turn on. PLEASE HELP! I feel like you're my only hope!

Can I use a smart things button with the hub to control legelite WiFi bulbs? Reason I ask is I like the hub for all the sensors and buttons but the light bulbs that connect directly to the hub are 2X as expensive as the WiFi bulbs

Is Lutron compatible with SmartThings?

I want to get a couple light bulbs and speaker to perform an automation when I arrive home (using geolocation). Do I really need a hub device? Or can I simply set it up from my Note 10+ SmartThings Connect app? When is a hub device needed?

New with Sanarthings connect. About scream will not connect Alexa. Help.......

How do I delete an appliance from the smartthings hub?

i have trouble changing the wireless to 2.4 my smartthing is automatic makes everything to 5g. i need some help.

I enjoy your channel and you're videos a lot. So I'm hoping that you can help me with a problem I am having. Please forgive me for doing it in a post like this, but I have no social media accounts and this is the only way I could ask.... I have many WiFi devices connected to my router. I recently (March 10) bought a SmartThings V3 hub and some sensors and bulbs. All was well. My multisensors and motion sensors worked great with my Echo Ecosystem. Then I bought another motion sensor (all of these are the new SmartThings sensor) and while the SmartThings Apps (both of them) show motion as well as the Alexa app showing motion, the Alexa routines aren't working. I have spent HOURS on the phone with both Samsung and Amazon tech support and they are stumped. My thinking is it is a bad lot batch on the sensor but Samsung doesn't seem to be able to tell batches. Just thought I'd toss this out into the universe and in your ear to see if anyone else has had this issue.... BTW, I also ordered a second motion sensor because I thought it might just be a bad one... the second did the same thing. The motion sensors that worked were ordered only 10 days before the ones that didn't. I hope you can help and sorry if this wasn't the correct way to correspond with you.

Hello, thank you for all the tips and smart stuff u add on the channel! I am trying to make my Sylvania garden lights switch colors on a loop, any ideas on how to get this done? Thank you

WOW!

Yes. please idiot-proof/explain some of the Webcore functions for beginners. :)

I assume that there’s no way to get the Nest integration to work if your Nest account is tied to your google account (i.e. not a legacy nest account). This is even true with the Nest Manager SmartApp - is that correct?

Classic app is still best.

I want to install the Smartthings Community installer so I can integrate nest. But for the life of me I cant work out how to do it. Help???

Webcore Vid please!!!

I'm sure ST is working good for you, but you really should look into Hubitat.

Is there a siren that works with ST with home alarm is triggered? I can not find one that works.

I prefer the Classic.

There’s no way to have the hue motion sensor recognised by the ST app?

Have a problem. After OAuth, it doesn't go to Welcome to Community Installer. I didn't do the advanced installation since I don't have GitHub integration. Can you help??

How did you connect your Nestcam to the classic Smartthing app

Thanks for the 🤟 #CaptionsNow #ASL

I also wish i knew before getting into smartthings that you have to cross use two apps to actuallly get things working. You are also given a random country where you are from. Ans its not possible to change from farenheit to celcius

I don't know much about smart things, but can Smart Thing help with Alexa commands? I wish you could use an alias command like you can in Google Home where you don't have to remember these long string of commands. "Alexa, ask Chipolo to find my keys." WIth Google, I can simply say, "Find my keys." This works because I programmed the Google Home to use that shorter command. Of course this may not be a problem for some, but older people can't always remember all these apps and products and the exact phrasing. Not sure why Amazon has not addressed this, but it would be nice if I could talk to smart things and it send the equivalent command to Alexa.
