iOS Version 1.7.1 is Here

We’ve just released an updated version of the SmartThings iOS app, and it’s now available for free download in the iTunes store.


UPDATE: In response to issues a few customers were having, we recently released an updated version of the iOS app. Version 1.7.2 is now available and addresses many of the hiccups customers were experiencing with 1.7.1.


In addition to lots of bug fixes, we’ve made a significant amount of improvements to greatly help performance, stability, and overall load time. Most notably, we’ve introduced the same widget functionality for iOS as we created for Android.

uploadBelow is a rundown of what’s new and different.

Most notably:
• Widgets. We’ve introduced a widget that enables you to trigger Hello, Home actions without going in to the SmartThings app.

Improvements: 
• Updated edit location image selection
• Update Device Preferences Name immediately upon saving
• Updated copyright date, and made copyright dates updates dynamic
• More friendly error messages

  1. I am having some difficulties adding modes to notification center
    I did the update, and added ST in Notification Center, I then get “Manage widget from My Account in SmartThings” I click on it but under My Account, I don’t see a way to do this. Can someone give me some instructions?

    • Just give it some time, I updated last night, and the widget option didn’t show up in the app until today. Also try closing the app in the app switcher and re-opening it.

  3. does anyone elses app crash all the time on iOS? I just bought a brand new SMARTTHINGS HUB and when I try to connect a specific zwave device or specific motion detector the app crashes over and over on my iphone 5s and my iphone6.

  4. I hope to see an apple watch app before launch date. That would convince me that the Samsung acquisition hasn’t relegated my smart things investment to irrelevancy. Nobody cares about Galaxy Gear, please don’t make me switch to GE or Lutron for my home automation.

    • Steve,
      My App Does not lock up but I do see the issue with the GPS or GEO Boundaries not working. I Have it setup to open my Garage Door when I am close to my house and this stopped working for all my iPhone in my house. all iPhone 6 and 6+. But the App does not lock up.
