Enhancement request - show shared tags

[snigehere]

Thanks for your work on this integration which is really helpful

My wife and I both use smart tags and we have them shared. In the smart things app I can see all the tags but in the integration I just see the ones I own.

Is it possible to include shared tags into the integration?

I did try to add a second hub with her authenticating - the qr code worked ok and she signed in but it just hung at that point and then got in a bit of an authentication loop so I assume its one ID only.

Either approach would be great

(I looked for a "buy me a coffee" link but could not find one)

In theory it should work with multiple hubs with recent versions of the integration, I couldn't really test it though.

Regarding shared tags, do you see them on https://smartthingsfind.samsung.com/ ? If not, there's sadly nothing I can do to add support to these.

You can always send me a few bucks to paypal.me/benedev, if you really want to :)

Thanks - no I can't see them on the web but can in the app - I have raised a ticket with samsung to ask why .. I don't expect anything other than "its how it is" .. if they were interested they would have added them to the api already !

I will spend a bit of time later in the week to go through adding a second hub again with debug on to see what it tells me.

Just an update from me .. the response from samsung smart things find is somewhat worrying They say

I am limited in the support I can provide for this here, unfortunately. SmartThings Find is changing to Samsung Find, and there's a dedicated team that provides support for those queries. I recommend you contact them via live chat here: https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/contact/

You can read more about Samsung Find on this link: https://www.samsung.com/uk/apps/samsung-find/

The samsung find has no web component at the moment and so my worry is that they will just shut down the web service completely.

I did point out that if I can't find my phone having an app only service is fairly useless to help me find it .....

Hmm - poor information from samsung - the new find web site is https://samsungfind.samsung.com/

Now I need to see if I can get shared devices shown here

Ok - final update for a while -

On smart things you could create a family and add people ... that has now tags could be shared but they didn't show on the smart things find web site.

Setting up a family is available on my samsung account (not sure if its new or existing function)... I created a family group with myself and my wife. Having done that I can see her phone location. A different process now in that once you have the family defined you have to go into each tag and share one by one with a member of the family group.

Having done all this I now see two buttons on the web site (https://samsungfind.samsung.com/) to switch between my devices and family devices. I have no idea if the new web site will be accessible for your api or if you can address the button to switch between the two modes but I live in hope!!

Thanks

Thanks for sharing your findings. The new website actually looks interesting and I'll check in the coming days whether it can be used or not as an alternative.

I'll keep you posted.
