Mobile Presence in SmartThings
Adding your phone as a mobile presence lets SmartThings know when you come and go using the same location services that your smartphone or cellular-connected tablet uses every day.
When you first sign into the SmartThings app, the app will ask permission for SmartThings to use these location services.
To manually enable or disable your mobile presence in SmartThings follow these steps:
- From the SmartThings app, select the Menu (☰)
- Tap the Gear (⚙)
- Toggle the switch next to Get your location from this phone
For more information on how you can use Mobile Presence in Routines, visit our Routine guide here.
Linked Services in the SmartThings App
When adding cloud-based devices to SmartThings you will have to connect the manufacturer’s Service to the SmartThings app.
You can view all of the third-party services you have connected to SmartThings by selecting Menu (☰), tapping the Gear (⚙), and choosing Linked Services.
In the event that you are no longer using or need to reset a cloud Service, you may need to remove a Linked Service. Removing a Linked Service will also remove any devices or Routines in SmartThings that used that Service.
To remove a Linked Service from the SmartThings app, follow these steps:
- From the Favorites tab, select the Menu (☰)
- Tap the Gear (⚙) and choose Linked Services
- Choose More Options (⋮) and select Delete
- Tap Minus (-) next to the Service
