So I have the Sylvania/osram/lightify led strips and had the osram rgbw device handler installed and things were great until Smartthings forced me to migrate over to the new app. The custom settings in the device handler like automatic color loop, pulsing and strobe/blink no longer show up in the new app. Does anyone have any recommendations on what to use for the new app? Ie updated device handlers or smart apps for color changing strips? As a side note anyone know how to get a nice sunrise effect for waking up using rgbw strips? Ideally starting red/orange and slowly transitioning to daylight?

No-one has been forced to the new app. Just go back to Classic

Back to my original post, I would have except for them making me move, you can see my screenshot above saying they're no longer making any updates to the classic app so it's essentially end of lifed and no longer supported by them. When you finish migration it says you can still use classic for certain things for now but that it will be removed from the play store and removed so not like we have a choice.

I do for this device handler so I'm ok for now but looking for alternatives with the new app given classic is no longer supported.

I think you’re too hung up on the app, if it works use it. Neither app is any more than a way of programming the IDE. There’s no way ST will totally do away with DTH.

@

don’t equate the DTH with the app! There are many DTH (SmartWX time and Zooz switches come to mind) that offer reduced functionality in the new app. If Classic goes away tomorrow the DTH are still there in the IDE. Things are still evolving I think it’s a waste of time to chase a moving target.

I use the Zigbee RGBW bulb handler because it executes locally. The OSRAM handler is cloud execution.

but the zigbee rgbw handler doesn't have color loop, pulsing or blink/strobe, only basic actions like choosing color and dim level right?

So the Classic app is only being retired for iOS 10 and older? Nothing to see here folks, it’s business as usual. iOS 11 is supported on iPhone 5S and later, so unless you have an iPhone more than 8 years old, nothing is changing.

I need an outlet and a smart app that will trigger when power to a device is turned on (not when the outlet is turned on, but the device - TV that is plugged into it is powered up).
