So Far - Like this (want to LOVE IT) about smartthings HOT 6 OPEN

1. If you used the same api key its the same one in the mobile app.
2. Yes this is a known issue and a shortcoming of my coding. The problem is complex. I have removed the subscription check since I have added a lot of capabilities and this was just a temporary thing. Though it does not remove the issue even if fixed. This is a problem of the smartthings api and can be circumvented by using OCF, but this is a upcoming feature and at the moment I simply don't have enough time to code this. It is on my mind, but the project takes a lot of time so be patient.

The current smartthings library in use is a can of worms and has many other issues too.

At the moment you can bypass this issue by dividing your devices into multiple accounts and adding the different accounts to HA.

Hi all.
Those who write integrations do so in our spare time and because we are passionate about HA and do this to the best of our ability.
A big thank you to Taneli Veistinen "veista" all for the time he spends on improving smartthings.

I am no programmer - but if there is anything that you wish me to try....more than willing.

The default SmartThings integration does all sorts of checks and balances and stuff --- but when the items come into HA, the MFG and MODEL, etc. do not show. Yours does that - but I was seeing all those errors.

Not sure what you mean by multiple accounts - can you elaborate on this?

Make another smartthings/samsung account. Add some devices there, create api key, add a second smartthings integration to HA.

Thank You for the suggestion - so honestly....given that I have a v3 HUB, TV, Soundbar, Washer, Dryer, Fridge, Stove, Microwave and Dishwasher all Samsung SmartThings capable - what do you recommend to break them out?

Would I be better using the 'other' Integration? The one which apparently adds some sort of app or tool to the Samsung IDE.

Today, I just deleted ALL DEVICES from SmartThings IDE and the app on my phone - reset the HUB and I want to set it all back up to get this working properly in HA.

Sill not sure what you mean by this remark : "This is a problem of the smartthings api and can be circumvented by using OCF, but this is a upcoming feature and at the moment I simply don't have enough time to code this. It is on my mind, but the project takes a lot of time so be patient."

I can agree with all the statements, I am sure that it is a lot of work - I wish I was more 'programming' savvy, I would love to write some of these. All I can offer is a willingness to test and document my findings. I have been a beta-tester for a great number of things in my life (namely Microsoft Windows 3.0, 3.1, 3.11, 95, 98, Me, XP, v7 and v8) --- as well as numerous others.

I was also a technical writer for IBM back in the 90's for their PS/1 and Aptiva line.

I just want to offer to help and test where needed.
