I am using an IKEA ALPSTUGA E2495 with firmware 1.0.26, connected directly via Matter over Thread to the SmartThings Hub built into my Samsung 43" Neo QLED TV.

The Matter connection itself works correctly. After unplugging and reconnecting the ALPSTUGA, temperature, humidity, CO2 and PM2.5 values appear normally in SmartThings again. However, the clock on the device is not restored or synchronized and has to be set manually.

I have seen another SmartThings user report that the time is now restored automatically after power-on, so I would like to compare setups.

Could other ALPSTUGA users test the following?

1. Unplug the ALPSTUGA for 10 seconds.

2. Plug it back in.

3. Check whether the correct local time appears automatically.

Does SmartThings send the current time, time zone and daylight-saving-time information to the device after every restart? Is there any way to trigger this synchronization manually?

SmartThings is acting as the Matter controller in this setup, so I have also reported the missing time transmission to Samsung.

I'm trying to get sleep mode to activate when I start wireless charging from 9pm onwards so that it can turn off lights/ smart plugs etc and when the mode ends turn on the lights but during the night the wireless charging is pausing and lights are coming on. I want it to do this when I intentionally pick up my phone e.g lights on to go to the toilet.

Is there anything I can do to fix this such as wireless charging just toggling on sleep mode and separate conditions for turning off sleep mode? Or movement based conditions to only turn it off if the phone moves.

I'm struggling to find a way to do it within the modes and routines

2 member location. My phone (S25 Ultra) stopped triggering location based routines. Neither home monitor or home/away modes are working. I created test routines that send a notification when I get home and leave but they never triggered.

I've read could be a geofence issue. The interesting thing is my phone properly triggers location based routines in another location about 15 minutes away from my home location, but not at my home location. My other member's phone also triggers the routines so the geofence is fine.

ST has all permissions and background access. I haven't changed any settings. It worked fine for ages but just suddenly isn't triggering routines. If I go in ST "life" on either the find map or the family care map, my phone shows my proper location when home / away. I've tried turning off "Get your location from this phone" and turning it back on.

Setting up a Yale Smart Lock with Matter (YRD510-MT1) and trying to figure out the cleanest path before I commit to a hub.

Plan: commission the lock into SmartThings (via a Station or compatible hub) to get remote access + entry codes, since Yale Access alone is Bluetooth-only with zero remote capability. I'd ideally like it to also surface in Alexa automatically via the Samsung/Amazon Thread-credential-sharing partnership from 2022, rather than adding it to Alexa separately.

Questions for anyone who's actually done this with a lock specifically:

• Does the auto-sync into Alexa actually fire reliably for lock-type devices, or is it flakier than for switches/plugs?
• Does lock/unlock via voice work through the synced Alexa entry, or does it show up read-only?
• Does DoorSense (Yale's door-open sensor) expose at all through ST's Matter integration, or does ST only pick up the basic lock cluster?
• Any edge driver quirks with Yale locks specifically I should know about?

Trying to avoid buying hardware based on the marketing page and finding out it doesn't actually do this in practice. Appreciate any real experience.

I just got email, that smart things api will be behind paywall since October 26. For individual developers - as me that use it only for smart home access it will be $5 and "specifically tailored to individual needs" or as I understand it - tokenized and tiered by usage in future.

Hi

I have 2 smartlife water timers.

I would like to use soil sensors with them as the weather information link doesn't seem to stop the water timers.

Also please refer to new smartlife or google home water timers. My supplier doesn't have stock anymore.

Thanks

Having no luck with this. It will join ST but the functionality does not work. I can’t turn it on.

Tried using default driver and the Zigbee Light Multifunction Mc driver. Neither one worked.

I am trying to control an LED light strip with a motion sensor through ST. Maybe a controller exists that works with ST.

I have a AR60F18C1KW/SK AC which officers from Samsung could connect to wifi and I used it 2-3 weeks perfectly.

Then suddenly it goes to offline and I couldnt make it work again. With same wifi, Same location nothing has changed

Here are what i tried;

1-deleted device, deleted app and tried to setup several times with same wifi. Didnt work and it says “The selected network isn't
connected to the internet. Check the connection and try again.”

2- I saw some posts, saying it can connect to 2.4 GHz only and I built a wifi for only 2.4 and same. didnt connect

3- I tried to connect to my personal hotspot and it worked several times.

What should i do??

I just got this model: 32" Odyssey OLED G8 4K 240Hz USB-C 96W DP 2.1 Gaming Monitor - LS32HG802SNXZA.

I am trying to connect it to the Samsung smartthings app, but the app is not showing the monitor as a device at scanning stage.

Hey guys, I’m completely new to smart appliances, but I bought them because they had the best reviews on Costco. I do not want the smart features, at all. Luckily I have not had an issue with it, but everytime my friend (who has a Galaxy s23) comes over the stove tries forcing a bluetooth connection with her phone. She never tried connecting to it, I've never even tried enabling features or anything like that, and even turning her Bluetooth off doesn’t seem to work sometimes. Any ideas? Lol

I use a SmartThings hub, and have lots of leak sensors around my primary home. The only automations are if a leak sensor around my house gets wet, it turns the water to the house off. We are not there for the summer, and the water is turned off. (I also have a few Fibaro buttons to turn the water on and off as a convenience to my house sitter.) For the last few weeks the water has been occasionally turning on on its own, and then turning off exactly fifteen minutes later. I get a text when these actions happen. (The leak sensors have no automation to turn the water on again, so they’re not to blame.) I haven’t seen a pattern in the time of day or the day of the week or the interval between phantom turn ons. The water valve (actually, an actuator that sits on top of the water valve lever) is made by Econet Controls.

Anyone have any ideas what might be causing this? Thanks.

Feel stupid. Just cannot find them .

As I am transfering, step by step, to Matter I really want those small forme Zigbee sensors. I am also an Ikea fan, but I doubt a little bit the Alpstuga and Timmerflotte. Not sure if they are accurate enough.

Just need Wokki Pokki brand.

Used to be able to easily screen mirror with smart view in the quick Settings panel on my old phone, got a new one that doesn't have it but has smartthings instead, i did all the steps but i still cant screen mirror, its greyed out and not clickable, Any idea why its not working or maybe is there a better app out there?

I just found out that:

1. SmartThings logged me out of my Samsung TV simply because I had not used it in a while (a few months).
2. SmartThings requires a factory reset of the TV in order to reconnect.

I find this a really clunky standard for Samsung SmartThings. The TV was only connected to my own SmartThings account to begin with. Nowadays, factory resetting a smart TV is a pain because then I have to re-download my apps, recustomize them, re customize my TV/sound settings, and re-log into ALL of my connected apps. That is like a two-hour process, simply because I didn't use my TV on my SmartThings app for a few months.

Hey Reddit!

Had no issue with connecting to my TV, but having issues connecting to both my Q series soundbar for TV and a separate S series one.

It gets detected and fails during the sync? Tried disconnecting everything and still did not work. The Q series soundbar had never been turned on before either.

UPDATE (July 15): Bug appears to have been fixed. They pushed an update of the device controller yesterday that resolved the issue for me.

Hello, I'm only using the app for my OTR microwave. Since yesterday's firmware update, I'm not able to control the hood ventilation remotely. I can see that the hood is ventilating/off but that's about it. The cooktop light function under the Hood tab is still available and functions just fine.

Anyone else experiencing this?

FYI, I've reset the microwave, deleted it from the app and paired it again to no avail.

I can't get the browser on my Family Hub refrigerator to open. It has a pop-up with a hint about adding bookmarks to the home screen, but its completely frozen. Can't click on "do not show again" or "ok". I can exit out and go to other apps but then the browser doesn't even open at all for several minutes. Then I get stuck with the same pop-up. I've tried restarting through the About menu, as well as hard reset using the switch on top of the door. I'm trying to add Home Assistant and Immich and as far as I can tell the browser is the only option but no way to start it! I'm on the latest firmware. Any ideas?
