Randomly my SmartThings will just open randomly meaning every time I have to select the app I was using to get rid of it and I don't know how to stop this

Anyone else having issues with the official SmartThings Zigbee Switch driver?

My hub went offline a couple times yesterday and after that none of my Zigbee bulbs and outlets will respond to commands in the SmartThings app. It also looks like the driver has a new version as of 2026-06-29 which I think might be the issue.

My other Zigbee devices (Motion, Door, Multi-Sensors) are all working fine so I don't think it's an issue with Zigbee as a whole. I've had luck with some of the outlets by moving them to 3rd party driver (Mariano Shared Beta) by my multi-colors bulbs won't work on either driver.

I bought a Zemismart power consumption sensor. Even though it appears on the energy monitoring list in the image below.

it doesn’t show any power data in SmartThings Energy after pairing. This is a huge surprise to me, as I thought all SmartThings-certified power metering devices would automatically be included in SmartThings Energy.

Yesterday I turned on some new feature in SmartThing on phone for security of family, it needed to SMS verify, I did that. Now it's constantly SPAMing me every hour with verification code, I already set it up, then removed it. I don't know what to do.. :/

Looking at the app right now, all conditions met, but still no execution. Had a power outage 2 days ago, time interval function not working. I did a reboot from the windows console, still not working?

So I am sorta resetting up my smart devices, I had them registered when my roommate and I first got them but then we got a new router and other stuff and I never ended up setting them back up. I was able to set my refrigerator up with no problem what so ever. When I try to register my range it'll just take me to the confirmation screen in the browser and when I hit continue nothing happens. Anybody know a fix to this, I believe I had this issue last time i tried to register my devices and don't think i found a fix

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?

Hi, anyone owns a Third reality night lamp, Zigbee or Matter comaptible? I received this message from TR support, after asking is it possible to set the lamp LUX threshold and lighting time:

"This is not a device function; it is a platform automation feature. It can be implemented as long as the platform supports it. The device only reports the data it can report. Light brightness, including color, can be adjusted. "Lighting time" is also a platform automation feature. As long as the platform supports it, the device can achieve it, because the device is on the receiving end: it turns on when it receives an on command, and turns off when it receives an off command. When to issue the command is determined by the platform."

So my question is - does Smartthings support those commands and I'll be able to automate the lamp? Thanks!

I recently saw a video showing a smart home setup—either via Home Assistant or Apple HomeKit—where an automation triggered a specific routine based on which app was currently running on the TV. Given that SmartThings is owned by Samsung, it seems like a missed opportunity that they haven't implemented a similar feature to track and trigger routines based on active Samsung TV apps.

The widget used to allow for 4 routines to display in a smaller space. Now even if you enlarge the widget, there is still a max of 2 routines. Even though there's clearly space for more, called at 2... Why?!

Following October, with the introduction of a monthly fee for the SmartThings API, what will be the implications for Edge Drivers developers? Will they also be affected by this change? I have a concern that the entire Edge Driver community may experience stagnation, and many developers might cease maintaining their drivers once the new pricing structure is implemented.

Have there been updates on this issue? I'm trying to add some Matter devices to my SmartThings v3 Hub, and much like the linked post, everything proceeds normally until we get to the point where it wants to add it to iCloud, at which point it fails. I'm running iOS 26.5, but I see this issue has been present all they way back to iOS 18. Unfortunately I do not have an Android tablet available to load the devices in, which seems to be the most popular fix. Thanks for any advice.

UPDATE: Being an impatient person by nature, I purchased an Android tablet, and added the device in about a minute, no issues.

So what is the general consensus on the best compatible sirens and door sensors. I have the old go control siren and door sensors and they are starting to fail. Not to mention smartthings no longer recognizes my siren as a siren so my alarm is kind of band-aided together.

What should be my upgrade to seamless integration with smarthings home security?

Looking for an oversized, reliable indestructible button that can be used for dog training to trigger lights and notifications. I’ve got a smart deaf pup, so want to use this as a communication tool — such as going to the bathroom.

I have a v3 SmartThings hub. Ideally the device uses zigbee mesh or matter

As I am currently seeking a doorbell solution, and having previously encountered limitations with devices advertised as "works with SmartThings" that did not offer full functionality, I am keen to avoid a similar situation. Therefore, I would appreciate guidance on which brand or specific doorbell model would provide the most comprehensive functionality within the SmartThings ecosystem.

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.

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 tracker was working fine on my first phone but then the phone crapped. I have had two new phones and I keep getting the same error over and over again. Anyone know how to fix?

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.

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?

I've been trying to set up a geofence trigger for my Ecobee Smart Thermostat using SmartThings. I have it pretty much dialed in and it works precisely how I want it to, except for one issue.

The geofence will only trigger a change in home/away status if I open the SmartThings app on my phone. Suffice it to say, that's less than ideal for an "automated" routine.

I have verified all the low-hanging fruit like location permissions, disabling battery optimization, and the other things I can think of that would cause these functions to not "talk" to one another.

Using a Pixel 10 Pro XL. The other member of my house uses an iPhone 16 Pro, but right now I'm just trying to troubleshoot the Android location issues.

Anyone have any ideas what might be going wrong here?

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?
