Looks like Samsung is deprecating the use of Personal Access Tokens. If you have an existing one you’re “grandfathered” in according to them, but Home Assistant just went south on me so I had to restore a backup which forces a new Smart Things PAT. Now I’m getting Too Many Requests Constantly, and they say the new PATs are only good for 24 hours… So you need a new one every day. They say there’s an OAuth method that needs to be used instead, but god I hope the SmartThings HA team is looking at this, 70% of my sensors and automations are SmartThings linked…
The did this in like 30 days over Christmas, they really hate their users…
I am getting may “too many request” errors with SmartThings, but this seemed to only start after 2025.1 , any one else having this issue too?
I just started setting up and using Home Assistant over the holiday period, so the PAT I’ve created for the SmartThings integration on my instance is probably affected by the short 24 hour TTLs they’re using now. I’m still on 2024.12.5 and whenever I try doing anything with the entities from SmartThings I get 401 errors:
Failed to perform the action fan/turn_on. 401, message='Unauthorized', url='https://api.smartthings.com/v1/devices/xxxxxxxxx/commands'
I have 2025.01 and am experiencing both the too may requests errors as well as the PAT issue. I’m fully invested in the ST ecosystem in my HA setup and I hope the OAUTH solution comes quickly.
Who will take up the issue? Is a solution being worked on?
To be honest, I’m surprised that this topic has such a low priority and that there is hardly any feedback on it, even though 4.7% of active installations use Smartthings.
Does anyone know what will happen here in the future?
Hello new to HA long SmartThings user. I have currently been using ActionTiles dashboards for both my hubs. I have one at home and another house. A friend suggested that I try home assistant got my raspberry PI all built out and installed HA trying to integrate my smart things API I kept getting the same errors that everyone else has been talking about. I was pulling my hair out, trying to figure out why things weren’t working until I saw the link to the SmartThings mentioning that they are no longer supporting personal access tokens. The only reason why my action tiles dashboard still works is that I am grandfathered in.
I would love to completely switch over to HA I’ve already started building dashboards, but there’s not much I can do without smart things integration without OAuth implemented in HA. I know this is a brand new issue for new users or users that need to reconfigure their system. I’m hoping that HA developers can come up with a solution as it seems that news from Samsung was pretty short notice!
+1, I’m new to HA but was thinking I have done something wrong - however kept rolling the new updates, like today’s 2025.1.2 but at every reboot or every day I saw smarthings being discovered again and my integrations broke. I have 20+ samsung devices
My PAT of 4 years was kicked off and now I too am on the 24 re auth plan, it is frustrating if anyone has a solution I’m all ears! I’m guess the 2025.1.0 update started too many requests and boom
I came to Home assistant when Webcore-SmartThings integration stopped, now do I bring all of my devices to Home assistant from Smartthings? I have over 40 switches and bulbs…
Same. The 2025.1 release broke my Enphase integration so I restored from backup and landed in this situation with SmartThings. PATs only work for 24 hours and it’s incredibly frustrating as it had otherwise worked solidly for years. Samsung was all about SmartThings this year at CES, and I have to say, I didn’t mind them before, but now I’m really not a fan.
Timing couldn’t be better. Of course I wasn’t aware of this and used the holiday period to attempt to tidy-up my SmartThings devices in Home Assistant, which nerfed my integration and prompted me to generate a new PAT completely unaware that my existing PAT was “grandfathered”. I now need to refresh the PAT every day to keep my lock automation working.
Goes to show you should never do those housekeeping tasks you’ve been putting off for months just because you have time to do so.
I am not saying this will help everyone or even anyone, but if you do have a Hubitat hub, I updated HubiThings Replica to allow for external applications to REST pull an active working OAuth token. Post is here.
Same issue here also. In every 48 hours without rebooting or updating and I have to add the token again.
This is a bummer because I had just discovered the smart things integration a few days ago to use it as a work around for the genie garage door integration that was removed last summer….
Same issue with a new SmartThings integration. Needed to add Samsung devices to my system. But man, I hate Samsung’s user experience. They can make life so difficult with missing and not working features…
I hope this will be fixed soon.
Looks like I had created a PAT a year ago, but never actually added it to Hass, and can’t locate the code.
Am I correct in assuming there is no way to recover the code using the smartthings website?
I agree. I love a lot of Samsung products, like their TVs. But my god, they are terrible at software and services. Some of their UIs look like they were created by complete amateurs instead of a multi-billion dollar company. This issue with the PATs expiring after 24 hours is incredibly frustrating. I can’t believe they would abruptly break things this way for an untold number of users. I’m giving up on SmartThings and the hub I got for it. Hopefully, a Z-Wave hub should work for me with HA.
