It took some figuring out on the SmartThings side, but I eventually was able to use SharpTools to make a widget on my phone to turn a set of lights on and off. The best part is, I found the solution on the SharpTools forum, not SmartThings. SharpTools itself was easy to use.

Added widget and selected not to show thing name, but it still shows thing name on all of my Samsung Android devices.

Really useful where the Smartthings app comes up just short. I am a tech enthusiast, but can't code. I was trying to accomplish what should be a simple thing on Smartthings, but couldn't - If my kid leaves the samsung multipurpose sensor on the fridge open for 30 seconds, the Sonos speaker in the kitchen says, "The fridge is open." I tried contacting Samsung and scoured the IDL boards, but still couldn't get there. THIS allowed me to do it. Thanks!

I love the app and it works well for me. One question, is there a way to have a toggle for a group of devices? I have several lights in my kitchen and would like to click one widget and have them all toggle. Edit: They responded quickly and told me about a feature in the native Samsung app that allowed me to do that. Excellent customer service!

Look, I Get It... Like everyone else, you want to be compensated for your expertise, time, and effort. But something feels like "bait and switch" for _widgets_, which are referenced in the app title itself (suggesting, to me at least, it's a core function), to be an in-app purchase. That's why I installed the "free" app in the first place. Unless I missed it, it would have helped me if it were made clearer upfront. I have no issues paying for apps, but this rubbed me the wrong way.

This app works beautifully. It single handedly helped me bypass using other 3rd party apps in order to automate my smart home, which made things trigger more than twice as quick. Plus, the tasker plugin was not supported by the family library and the developer was very quick to send me a one time promo so my girlfriend can take advantage of the plugin with the single purchase! More than happy with everything and will definitely support this developer with more purchases in the future.

About this app

SharpTools is a set of Widgets and Tasker plugins for the SmartThings™ platform.

The app supports the following features via Widgets and Tasker plugins (In-App Purchases):
•Control your SmartThings automated home from Tasker and Widgets
•Toggle devices with the Switch capability
•Simple interface for controlling a device
•Available device commands are automatically pulled from the SmartThings API
•Send standard commands like on and off
•Send commands with parameters like setLevel(Level0-100, dimOverXSeconds) for capable Dimmer Switches
•Pass Tasker variables to many of the SharpTools Tasker plugins
•Subscribe to Thing status changes and react to them in Tasker
•Query the current status of your devices in Tasker
•Simple interface for changing modes
•Subscribe to Mode changes and react to them in Tasker
•Query the current Mode in Tasker
•If there is a particular device you would like to control, let me know. I would love to expand the beta test with more devices

Additionally, the base SharpTools app provides the following features:
•Control your Things, Modes, and Hello Home Phrases using the new Material design!
•Authorization to access devices you approve through the SmartThings API*
•Initial download/configuration of your Things and Phrases

If you find that the app is missing an expected feature, let me know using the Send Feedback menu option inside the app and I will try to include the feature where possible. Also note that while the base application is free, the Widgets and Tasker plugin are each available as an In-App Purchase (IAP).
