Hi everyone! I wanted to share with you that we just released v0.72.13 that includes IFTTT Webhooks. Thanks to the new Webhooks integration you can create buttons on your Smart Remote to control your devices via IFTTT services and that include Smartthings devices.
Here is how to set up IFTTT Webhooks on your Smart Remote.

I currently have everything in my house connected to my SmartThings hub, so prioritizing this integration will allow many customers to be able to quickly connect to a lot of missing devices, including lights, speakers, TVs, locks, thermostats, Apple HomeKit, etc.
SmartThings integration should be your top priority
-
Same here. I have a house full of hue light bulbs and alexa devices and also unusual and less see known devices some with publicly developed open source integrations, some country specific products or version of products. My central common gateway to almost every gadget I own is my Samsung Smartthings hub so If you intergrate to Smarthings you'll have integrated to a tonne of quirky less see known devices as a result. You will have added a tonne of value to Seven hugs remote for me and many other potential and current customers. Thus has to be a High priority.

You would think, they would have this done first. But at this point, I would be happy with anything other than my infrared and nest lol. I'm pretty disappointed in this purchase, every reason I bought this, I cant even use it for. I'm waiting to do a public review on it so they can at least have some integration. If I did it now, no one would buy it 😂

So it's almost the end of Q1 and again sevenhugs has failed to produce any integration with smartthings. I hate to say it, I have lost all hope for this company and contemplating selling my remote. Since at this point it's just an expensive paper weight with lied to expectations. You shouldn't sell a product based on integrations you don't have.

Scott Alexander Greg Prepetit We are sorry that the current pace of integrations does not meet your expectations. Our team is doing its best to release more integrations as soon as possible based on the requests we receive. We are also working on our SDK in order to fasten the current pace as soon as possible.

Thanks Anne-Sophie F. , appreciate the official comment even if not a fun one. Just to provide some objective context, here is the SmartThings thread that Sevenhugs (or someone pretending to be SevenHugs) weighed in on 2.5 years ago. https://community.smartthings.com/t/smart-remote-by-sevenhugs-control-anything/46609/8. Further for awhile back in 16 the SevenHugs website mentioned SmartThings compatibility. So with all the early hype around SmartHub compatibility and SDK for community contributions, its just frustrating to see all of that still be vaporware at this point in the release cycle... Hoping to see IFTTT at least soon other thread promised that in Q1 but no update for 30 days.. Could we get one there? Ultimately hope product eventually delivers on its claims but as of yet I'd say still very incomplete from what was initially advertised.

Anne-Sophie F. you might want to start looking for another job. A company that makes false promises and cant deliver according to their own timeline, wont make it very far.
my prediction is that they will go bankrupt before they get smartthings up and working.
I hope I'm wrong because I would like to use this paper weight.

John Brackney Bill Simmons We are sorry that it's taking us more time than expected to be able to develop the integration with Smartthings hub. We have worked a lot on the past few months on getting the current experience better, fixing the battery life and several bugs that were annoying for current users of Smart Remote. We'll continue doing that and will add more integrations in the coming months, Smartthings is still on our roadmap. Also, our team has been working on the SDK too and we hope to release it as a beta version soon.

I'm currently using 3 Logitech harmony systems within the apartment to control over 300 devices. All the home automation runs through the Samsung Smartthings. I really would love an alternative to play around with to the Logitech system. Please add Smartthings and ill be picking up your system the next day.

Is there ANY movement on smart things integration? 90 % of my gear is smart things and I am extremely disappointed that this doesnt work. It's now September 2019 and there is still no integration. I just bought this from Best Buy three days ago and I am taking it back, I will be going back to Logitech. This was billed as "all that" but I will do better with my broken harmony than this. Waiting on you people could be likened to watching paint dry.

I’m giving up on this product. It seemed like it could have been great, was even an original backer on Kickstarter. But now after the countless promised integrations promised at launch that are still missing years later along with continued lies on expectations of those integrations, i’m moving on.
For many of us, the only integration we wanted and/or needed to make this product useful was SmartThings. Your continued lack of support here makes your product useless.
To all those still supporting this product, I hope it works out for you, I really do. To Sevenhugs themselves, I wish you the best of luck. If you feel you can continue to run a successful business this way, then by all means, keep on making money by sending out those lies and broken promises to your customers. I’m sure it will do wonders for you.

There is a SmartThings community app called Alexa Helper https://thingsthataresmart.wiki/index.php?title=Alexa_Helper. It contains a feature called Cloud Interface which essentially gives you control of devices via simple HTTP GET calls. I use it to control SmartThings devices on multiple SmartThings hubs via one Smarthings Alexa integration. It could be used similarly for SmartRemote without full native integration. Essentially if you would give us an SDK, we could integrate with SmartThings community app to community app. Perhaps not as clean and native as we'd all like, but it allows you to provide something that could deliver on an integration promised years ago.
