Im new to this smartthings app. I've used google home before and i didnt need to use matter. Now having switched to smartthings, i need to use matter since most apps arent partnered directly with samsung. Now, do i really need to spend money on a matter hub? And is it worth it? Since its expensive and i have about only 3 devices that need it (2 AC's and 1 roborock), i was wondering if its even worth it?
Both motion sensor connect to ST are now detecting motion multiple times a minute while nobody in the room.
Just randomly started day doing this.
I've tried changing drivers.
Tried rebooting both device and St, z wave refresh.
Anything else I can check. Batt level is 25%. 45%
I want to use NFC tags to do some automated tasks. I currently use an iPhone and have Z-Wave and ZigBee devices running off a SmartThings hub.
The first thing that I want to do, is when I tap a NFC Tag, my phone will lock my door by triggering my August Lock.
The second thing that I wanted to do, was when I tap a NFC Tag, Google Home will change home locations, because I use Google Home for devices at both my home and my work.
This is my first foray into NFC Tags and I haven’t had much luck. Any ideas or suggestions on resources to figure this out?
Thanks!
I'm releasing a SmartThings Edge driver for Tuya Wi-Fi devices.
I personally do not own many Tuya devices. I only tested it with a single Tuya-based light, so there may be many unexpected bugs or unsupported cases. Please keep that in mind. Feedback is highly appreciated, and I’ll do my best to improve stability over time.

Enroll the hub you want to use, then go to:
Available Drivers -> tuya-edge
When you run a nearby scan, a device called "Tuya Manual Setup" will appear, similar to the screenshot.
If you want to add additional devices later, simply repeat the nearby scan process. The setup device name will increment with numbers like:
and so on.
Once the device appears in the Devices tab, open it and go to:
Top-right menu (⋮) -> Settings
You will see configuration fields like:
These fields are required.
If you've used Home Assistant before, the setup flow will probably feel familiar. Otherwise, you may need to look up how to obtain the Tuya local credentials or ask in the community.
After entering the required values, the driver will automatically configure the device.
If the automatic configuration is incorrect, you can manually adjust the settings yourself.
You can usually leave the Scan Interval at the default value.
By default, the driver uses push/event-based updates, so device states are reflected almost instantly without polling.
Only enable polling if your device specifically requires it.
I purchased a 4 pack of samsung smart tag2, and on all of them the volume was so low that I could barely hear them even sitting in my lap. None of them were loud at all! Are all tag2's like that? I got them to find my keys and I certainly wouldn't have been able to hear that low of sound. I tried all volume settings on my phone, the smart things app and the find app. COULD NOT GET ANY VOLUME! i read about the battery being low could cause that? but the items came new and the batteries showed full charge. What did I miss or do wrong? Help please! I reordered the same units hopeing for a better result, maybe got a bad set. Maybe batteries were all dead, I dont know!!!!!! Reviews all say they had good volume!
I moved into a new house this past weekend and now that we are starting to settle in I’m trying to figure out the Smart Home features the previous owners installed. All the blinds are ‘smart’ blinds by Bali, and all the light switches are a still unknown ‘smart’ brand as well.
The light switches work by touch, which is nice to at least be able to have. The blinds however take 8 AA batteries and I cannot seem to connect to them via the Bali app.
Do I need to get my hands on a Google Hub or Alexa or something? Is there one that you all recommend? I’m usually tech savvy, but this is my first dive into smart home devices. Any and all help welcomed. Thank you in advance.
Anyone get the update for the Samsung Bespoke Fridges that adds Google Gemini for food recognition? I have the four door flex version, but haven’t gotten the update yet. It was only announced on Monday, so I’m sure it’s still rolling out. But curious if anyone had received it yet.
I’ve come to SmartThings after a year of struggling to make things work in Home Assistant. HA was neat and I learned a lot but in the end it was too flaky. Between server reboots and add-ons randomly disconnecting, I wanted something more robust. I am really impressed with how much I can do only with the SmartThings app. But I have some of the new IKEA matter devices that I’d like to integrate. The Aeotec v4 seems to be the way to go, but for the price, I could almost buy a new Samsung TV or Monitor. Any advice?
Recently left my keys with a friend for a day and when i got them back noticed tag was no longer connected/working while pressing. Reset, checked battery, everything was fine. Had to completely re pair it and then it worked. Any ideas as to why it did this ?
I’m new to SmartThings. What is the method for adding support to new platforms? For example, I have a Roborock vacuum and Eugy camera and would love to eventually see SmartThings support. Is that likely? How often are new integrations released?
maybe im overthinking a kitchen appliance but here we are. my wife and i are redoing the kitchen this summer and ive been staring at the samsung family hub fridge for like a month. memorial day deals are popping up and shes pointing at this thing hard. i already got smartthings for a few lights and a door sensor so part of me wants to just go all in but also. its a fridge you know does the screen actually help with automations or is it just a tablet glued to a freezer thatll feel old in two years. anyone here running one in their setup and actually using it daily?
Hello! I have a porch light connected to smart things and I want it to turn on when I or my gf comes home and if it is dark and regardless if one of us is already home. How do I go about doing that one? I have a member condition precondition and then the time period condition from sunset-> sunrise. Am I missing anything for the starting conditional?
In my Google Home history, it says that I disconnected SmartThings today. Except, I did no such thing.
I combed through my Google account and everything seems good, no suspicious signed in devices, although I am always greeted with a cacophony of warning notifications on any new sign ins anyway.
So the only thing I did even vaguely SmartThings related around the time this was logged was adjust the thermostat through Google Home. Is it possible that this could cause some kind of bug? Anyone else see this show up in their Google home history?
