r/SmartThings

I have 4 Leak Sensors. 2 are Fibaro ZWave and 2 are Moes. All are battery operated and have new batteries.
The Fibaros are ZWave and the Moes are ZigBee. They are all located within a few feet of each other. Some are directly connected to the hub and others are using the nearby AC Switching Plug as a repeater.
I have no idea but they just go offline and then a while later, come back on line. No rhyme or reason. Any ideas?

Power users who built SmartThings integrations using webhook-based SmartApps for their own homes are getting caught in this including the Home Assistant integration.

These aren't apps being sold or shared. Samsung already removed the ability for personal SmartApps to be shared with other users, so these integrations are tied to a single account and exist solely to automate that user's own devices.

Now the new plan is $5/month from individual users for something that does maybe 1,000 API calls a month.

Paying $60/year just to receive webhook events from my own smart home has to be one of the dystopian decisions only samsung can come up with. Literally a FUCK YOU CHARGE

"Why am I paying $60 a year for webhooks?"

Samsung: "Because fuck you, that's why."

SmartThings has just dropped this... https://community.smartthings.com/t/a-new-enhanced-smartthings-api-experience/309947

It's not as positive as it sounds by the title:

>To ensure the SmartThings API remains capable, reliable, and secure at this scale, we are evolving our infrastructure. In the upcoming months, we will introduce dedicated, paid commercial API tiers as well as a $4.99 a month plan for non-commercial, individual developers.

>We will not begin applying the new usage limits or phasing out free access until October 2026

Note it's not a subscription for users (or maybe it is, see edit), but you can do the math and the implications.

Those tinkerers that create useful integrations like the recent ones for the Stream Deck or Garmin watches so you can turn on a light more easily will probably not do them if they have to pay. And they will stop working in October if they don't pay.

Likewise, companies will probably have to pay (more?) by usage and users will pay it indirectly or directly if it's a subscription service that integrates with SmartThings.

Edit: There has been some developments, apparently this impacts the Home Assistant integration that uses the SmartThings API, now users wanting to integrate SmartThings in Home Assistant will have to pay the personal subscription. That would mean the individual subscription is not for the developer but for the end user that will make use of the API.

Hi all, I want to power on my pc remotely by using a smart plug, but when I get into the BIOS of my pc (HP Victus 16-d0xxx) I can't find the settings to do so. Are they named differently or just not available? Here are the pictures of the BIOS settings. Thanks in advance.

I get why some of these are necessary—as I use Ikea lighting, switches, and sensors—, but what are the "Sonos", "SCU200 InSite Energy Management System", "Wemo", "Bose" and "Aqara Presence Sensor" drivers for? I don't use anything that needs these AFAIK.

Other question: How do you see all the Thread(and Zigbee) connections/paths in the app, or do you need a different app?

Hey everyone,

I’ve been managing a decent collection of Blynk-enabled smart devices for a while, but I got pretty tired of constantly jumping between the Blynk app and SmartThings just to toggle switches or run automations.

I wanted a unified experience where I could control my Blynk devices natively inside SmartThings (and utilise Routines, Alexa and Gemini), so I built this:

https://github.com/Ryuga/Blynk-Smartthings-Integration

It’s a lightweight SmartApp bridge that lets you map your existing Blynk Devices into SmartThings virtual switches so you can control it via Smartthings as native devices with all feature support.

Why I built it:

No need to keep the Blynk app open. Your blynk devices shows up as a standard switch in SmartThings. (also on OneUI control panel if you have a samsung device)

Since they are now virtual switches, you can include them in your existing SmartThings Routines and Scenes.

It’s stateless and handles the heavy lifting, so you can map as many (or as few) devices as you need.

It’s currently configured to be easily deployable on free-tier services like Render with the easy one click deploy option.
I’ve put together a full guide in the README on how to set up the Webhook, register the SmartApp, and get it running.

If you have a similar setup and want to consolidate your controls, please give it a try and let me know what you think! I’m happy to take feedback or PRs if you run into any issues.

Cheers!

My parents own a Samsung range and dad wants to connect it to the SmartThings app. We’re not getting very far (see photos). Can anyone help with troubleshooting this for us? I’ve tried forgetting the range and reconnecting, but each time it says either “connection failure” or “disconnected”.

SmartThings seems to think my phone is rooted and won't let me start the App. Thing is, I'm running stock Android 16, I got through an OTA update from Motorola, the manufacturer of the phone. I modified nothing.

I wish I was rooted, then I could probably work around this faulty root detection, but I'm not.

Is there any known way to fix this without me having to root my phone?
