Re: Smartthings?

I've seen the same VERY slow update. Also using IFTTT is very slow too
when linked to ST. Not really usable unfortunately.

The ST app on its own is good though - very responsive. Been playing with
the rule machine app (installed via the IDE) which is quite flexible.

I think I'll experiment more with that homebridge software and see if I can
make any of this available via HomeKit/Siri.

Paul.

 The example Phil gave originates from a motion sensor which would be
different to how you wished to use it.
