Looks like my couple month old ST hub got bricked during the recent surprise FW update. Think I was doing network troubleshooting about that time and Didn't notice the email till later. Dont have a lot of automated routines set up yet so went unnoticed for a week then about another week doing email support. Replacement on the way.
Hopefully this isn't a common thing.
Can anyone think of a way to do a hard reset of a computer using a smartthings hub? Hard reset meaning I can't remote into the computer to look at it because it's locked up.
Basically I would need to find some type of device that could trigger the power switch....I thought about keeping it simple and just adding a smart things outlet to the computer, but that would only turn it off and not turn it back on.
Trying to set some things for auto on/off at sunset/sunrise. In smarthings under routines I don't have an option for sunset or sunrise, only able to set a certain time. If I go to the smartapps tab, I can set to turn on and sunset and toggle the turn off at sunrise. However even after setting it up, it's not doing anything. Checked the web interface and it shows there, and even though I pressed update still nothong. Help?
On your routines tab select the settings gear on your particular routine. You should find the settings for sunrise/set under additional settings on the bottom of the page.Trying to set some things for auto on/off at sunset/sunrise.

I only have 2 options there, rename and automatically perform which opens up a list of settings. Sunrise/sunset not in there either.
First Blink, and now Ring: Amazon buys Ring. I believe Wink will be next.
You know, as much as I love Amazon, I HATE it when they do shady stuff like this:
Amazon will stop selling Nest smart home devices
They did this awhile ago with the AppleTV (which now supports Amazon Prime & is available on Amazon again). They currently don't have Chromecast, which is really annoying because then I can't just use my Prime account to order them as needed. I think a better approach would be to have the Fire Stick as the first search result, highlighted with a "recommended" or "suggested" flair, and then to still sell everything. Roku is on there (which, of course, has a Prime app available on it). Arg!
.... did buy Hubitat a few weeks ago.
Just put my order in, so awaiting shipment. I hope the webCoRE migration makes sense (I know it won't be easy). To start, I'll probably just add some devices that have been on the shelf and see how it goes. Please keep us in the loop on your transition.

I’d just remind everyone that this is the device that a user left a very bad review for on Amazon and then was locked out of the Garadget servers.
According to Grisak, his reaction wasn't due to the poor review on Amazon, but rather was about the post in the community board. He claims the customer was still in "early stages" of the Garadget setup, and the device was "never in actual use." Plus, Garadget is an "add-on device which doesn't provide or replace opener's functionality so the customer was never locked out," Grisak said.
