Velovol, Works as Advertised! I read of everyone having all these problems and I sit here thinking this stuff is working just like they said it would. I did have a few issues pairing the 'things' with the Hub but most of that was all this is brand new to me, but videos and reading FAQs helped bring it all together and now I have a system that has met my every need. No app issue - update or not. I give it two thumbs up! One Year of Usage After one year, I am still a believer of the SmartThings app and hardware.
I had one issue with some of the motion and door sensors that quit working. At last indication, the batteries were showing at least 30% to 40% charge level when they quit working.
However, a quick call to tech support advised to change batteries and see if that worked. It did, so the battery charge level may read incorrectly, but other than that there have been no issues.
I am sure an app update could correct that. Still works as advertised for me. Velovol, Works as Advertised!

Thanks for the recent update. I had a problem where my wife’s and I’s phones were not updating with the presence modes. This made it seem like we were always home and would never activate the away locked mode. Well I can say with this latest update it’s working perfectly.:-) thanks for making it work with IOS 11 and taking time to get it working again.
Please keep SmartThings smart.:-) working great now and I have no problems. Easy way to check my home and tell what the current status of my house is. I was halfway across the country and the garage door had a glitch and went back to open status after wife left for work. I texted a friend and he stopped over and sure as heck, the door was open. He shut the garage door and made sure everything was safe.
I was notified within 10-15 minutes and could find help within 5 minutes or so. Thanks SmartThings!!!

Thanks SmartThings!!! This is what I was looking for. NovaListenerSpringfield, Minor Bugs but overall.
The smartthings hub app has a few bugs. For instance, the integration with smart home appliances. I have a Samsung washer and dry with the digital screens, and within the smartthings app, it never can seem to bring up the smarthome application within it. The smartthome app, keeps timing out. (You can still turn the washer and dryer on via smartthings, but you do not have the function of setting the machines cycles). Otherwise, the smartthings app, does everything that I need done.
If they can fix the minor bug issues, I'll be a happy camper. The updates make this app better and better.
I love all the improvements and now I am rating this app 5 stars. There are always going to be minor bugs in any application but smart things has been very reliable for me. NovaListenerSpringfield, Minor Bugs but overall.

I really don’t understand Smartthings decision of neglecting the Windows 10 UWP platform. There is a tablet support now for android and iOS, why not simply port this to UWP and expand the support to 2-in-1 tablets with Windows 10? There are almost 500 million devices running WIndows 10 and the marketshare for windows tablets is around 16% and increasing. Maybe they can even support Windows 10 Mobile again with this ported UWP app and make us windows mobile users happy again. Is a short vision tho look only to the mobile (smartphones) portion of users to stop supporting an entire platform.
I would also love to see an official windows 10 version of the app. Day one with my ST hub, I found Homeremote and tried to emulate a panel that I thought should be available out of the box. That eventually led me to ActionTiles which filled the void but I was surprised to find out early on that I would need to pay more money to toggle things from my office with a mouse. I do as much as I can from a PC since it’s just more natural for me as opposed to trying to manipulate a small screen with my sausage fingers.
I’ll give Andy a try tonight but for now it’s AT or I just remote into my Nexus 10, neither being as convenient as an official app. I wanted a quickie that required no real effort. Today, I decided on BlueStacks android emulator. Took 10 minutes to install, including installing the SmartThings app. Not perfect, but the only thing missing was the icons (i.e., fan) from the tiles.
Below is a view on my desktop. I also tried on a tablet I just procured to use as my TP-Link bridge. It works the same, within the limits of the tablet. So, if I want, I can have a single bridge device that also acts as a stationary (on wall?) controller for smart-things (augmenting the phone and Amazon Echo). I’ll try both Andy and BlueStacks tonight and see which one I like more.
I remember using using BlueStacks a few years back but it wasn’t ready for primetime. Seems the years have helped the software mature which is excellent news. Speaking of good news, a TP-Link bridge that runs on android you say? Right now I am using your Windows bridge but I also happen to have an on-the-wall android tablet dedicated to ActionTiles control.
How are you able to get the bridge working on android? If you have a topic dedicated to this I’d be happy to discuss it there. Chozo747: I’ll give Andy a try tonight but for now it’s AT or I just remote into my Nexus 10, neither being as convenient as an official app. Of course a “real” Windows App version of SmartThings would be great, especially if it makes configuration of Things & SmartApps easier. But instead of just wishing for something that Samsung is not making any strides towards, we created ActionTiles as one way to start to fill the void.
ActionTiles is the only official (WWST certified) web-browser compatible client for SmartThings. It has a lot of room to grow, and we appreciate our customers support in helping us to take it to higher and higher levels. To be clear, I am not looking for an ActionTiles replacement. I love AT and use it daily, nothing beats the flexibility and the just plain fun things you can do with it. An official app on Windows 10 would be nice but lets face it, the ST app will probably never handle IP video feeds nor will it ever have the capacity for customization AT has. I do feel that SmartThings should have basic toggle abilities available via pc/web out of the box and this would cover that. Limiting that ability to phone apps still confounds me.
Also, what’s wrong with a little wishing? I wished for a useful dashboard and this week we got one. Mikefarinha: Is there a place where we can voice requests for a Windows 10 app or a web based interface?. Though SmartThings staff at various levels browse this Forum, the company does not consider it to be a Feature Request channel. Instead you can mention desires to. Or in Play/Apple Store / Amazon Reviews. Samsung / SmartThings is overhauling their API, so in the future more functionality may be delivered by apps like ActionTiles.
In the meantime, many Windows users are finding ActionTiles to be a convenient, customizable web based view & control UI for SmartThings. Powered by, best viewed with JavaScript enabled.
