This past Black Friday, I purchased a couple of motion sensors to add to my collection. I have been able to successfully add them to my device list using the new Beta Android app. But when I tried to create a scene to add them too, the scene creation failed as the app wasn't able to contact any of the devices in the scene. And just a few weeks ago I had tried to modify a scene, and that too failed... In this new scene, it's pretty simple. The motion sensor as the controller, and a bathroom fan and a bathroom light as the devices to be controlled.
I create the scene using my Samsung Galaxy S8 phone, set the scene actors and the scene directors. Then I press Save Scene button. It tells me to press the Set button to wake up the motion sensor. I do. And then the spinning icon shows up...and that's it. It's been 15 minutes now and nothing.
I also notice that I do NOT hear any chirping from my hub or any of the devices, like I used to. So it's like the app is not communicating with the hub at all.
I have also tried to install and use the iPhone app...same problem. The 1st time it started and said "Creating Scene: Reading Device Database Kids Bathroom Lights" but then
told me after about 30 seconds of spinning that the switch was not responding and to retry. When I tried again, it just repeated the same thing.
Finally, I also tried the old app for Android. Same problem, it would error trying to link my devices to the new scene. In the end, I ended up with a new scene in the old app that doesn't work (the app proceeds to create the scene even though none of the steps worked), since it couldn't link any devices.
Any ideas? Since I have tried 3 different apps, it may be another issue...but I have no idea what?!
