Wonder if we're going to get local control before the end of the year. Here's hoping!
All the smart TVs in Samsung's 2016 lineup can connect to its SmartThings platform, the company has revealed. Even better, it equipped all the flagship TVs, which it calls SUHDs, within next year's product list with the IoT hub technology it snapped up in 2014.
Samsung is putting SmartThings hubs in its 2016 HDTVs:

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang!
1. Every single 2016 Samsung smart TV will be able to connect to SmartThings
2. Every single 2016 Samsung flagship TV (SUHD's) will have a SmartThings Hub built-in
Hopefully sammy will take over the software side. While the hardware has been very reliable, the user interface is so bad that a touchwiz ui would be a huge improvement.
Hi Folks,
Love this group.
Having an issue with a GoControl door sensor. It works just about instantly, however every day or so, it stays in the "door open" mode, even tho' the door is fully closed.
I have the WInk hub, and just that one sensor. I fully removed the sensor from the hub, used another (brand new) door sensor. After a day or 2, same thing.
Magnet is very close to sensor (1/8 inch"). I can see the red light blink when closing.
Thoughts? Thanks very much for helping. I really, really want this to work.

Hello - this is my first post.
I am new to home automation. Just picked up a wink hub, have a plug in switch and a Lutron dimmer installed with 3 schlage locks on order. Right now I am working on some simple "rules" with my lights.
Question 1 -
I have attempted to create a robot for my lights that turn on at certain time, and off at certain time (starting with the basics), but when I try to proceed with the final "Done" button press in the android app, it is faded out and unpress-able.
I used the "During this time" and then "make something happen" portions of the robot section...selecting an actual time and not (sunset, or sunrise)
Does anyone have an idea of what I may be doing wrong in creating this simple robot function?
Question 2 -
I am interested in finding a wink compatible durable outdoor wireless camera (can be wired for power as I plan using an electrician to install, but prefer wireless for data aspects) for my driveway area that would alert wink upon motion detection after 11 pm, and trigger certain lights to come on (via robot), possible record of info etc. My preference would be a quality product that is proven vs. low price.
Thanks very much in advance for any input, I hope to be able to contribute back over time.

Hey Lancaster,
I use scheduling to do that, go to lights tap on the 3 dots top right of screen, scroll down to schedule press + button and you are good to go.
Robots are made to have something happen (do something to make something else trigger)
Good luck
