So I got my SmartThings link for the ShieldTV a couple days ago and everything worked great. Until today. All of a sudden the SmartThings app on the ShieldTV won't recognize the SmartThings link. The ShieldTV does because everytime I unplug and replug in the link, the SmartThings app launches but then proceeds to say it doesn't see the link. I've rebooted the ShieldTV, uninstalled and reinstalled the app, and same thing. Anyone else having this issue?
I got the SmartThings link recently too and I'm sending it back. The app was way too buggy for me. Sorry I don't have a solution... I gave up on it. I bought a Google Home which seems to work OK.... but really all this automated stuff seems half baked to me. I have a logitech harmony hub and man it's a lot of work to set it up beyond the basic turn tv on / turn tv off... not sure if I'm just doing it wrong or it really is just half baked..
Mine is on order. I don't even own any devices yet, and probably won't until my next paycheck. Hopefully they will have the bugs ironed out by then. Still, this kind of glitchiness is fairly normal for brand new hardware, and considering that I paid $10 for it, I'm willing to wait for this hardware to mature and stabilize. If it winds up being a dud, I'm out $10.
Yep, exact same problem - on first start it says it's plugged in, but as soon as you do anything with it, it reports as "not detected"
