Hi everyone, I’ve been diving into the world of SmartThings and have a burning question about local code execution. From what I gather in the documentation, most automation seems to rely on cloud services like AWS Lambda or the SmartThings REST API. But I’m curious—can we run scripts or automations directly on the hub without involving the cloud?
Let me paint the scenario: imagine a Z-Wave smart plug connected to my hub. I’d love to have the hub execute a script to toggle the plug based on certain conditions, all without relying on external services. It would be a game-changer for reliability and speed!
I stumbled upon the rules documentation, which mentions future support for local rule execution on the hub. Any updates or insights on when this might become available? I’d love to hear from anyone who’s experimented with or found workarounds for local automation.
On a related note, I’ve been exploring the use of third-party devices like the Zooz Zen51 and Zen52 relays. They seem promising, but I’m still unclear on how their switch inputs function. Does a state change always toggle the output, or is there more nuance to it?
I’d also appreciate any tips on integrating devices like the Wyze Cam Pan v3, which I’ve noticed can be finicky with network stability. Has anyone found reliable solutions for maintaining a stable connection?
Lastly, I’m curious about the community’s experience with devices like the Aura Lamp and how they’ve been incorporated into smart home setups. Any success stories or lessons learned would be invaluable.
Thanks in advance for your insights and experiences! Let’s keep the conversation flowing and help each other navigate the exciting world of smart home automation.
