Duplicate notifications from smartthings apps

#1

I’ve noticed I’ve started to receive duplicate notifications from webcore. I have the new and classic app installed, and notice the notification comes once from each.

I suspect this may have started after I clicked the option to migrate on the classic app, or maybe ST changed something in their migration.

I suspect if I delete the classic app, the notifications will stop. However, I’m curious how the webcore/ST infrastructure fits together. I assume I only have one instance of webcore running, but it interacts with both apps?

Nothing to do with the migration. Did you recently install the new app? WebCoRE will send notifications through both the Classic and new apps, thus the duplicates as you noted.

You are also correct, when you remove the Classic app… the duplicate notifications will end.

#3

I’ve had both apps installed since I started using smartthings several years ago, and always kept them both upto date.

It’s not a big problem, as I’ll be deleting the classic app soon. It just makes me curious how it all fits together.

Did you update your pistons to use send push notifications (msg) and store in messages?

#5

I used to get both notifications. Just go into your settings and disable notifications for one of the apps.

#6

This is what got me. I don’t typically set push notifications to store in messages. Enabling this then sends the notifications to the New App. Once I edit all my pistons, I can turn off notifications on the old app.

The duplicates are actually quite useful, I’m using them to track down where I need to add the “store in messages” in my pistons. They just make me think about how the whole webcore/ST infrastructure works behind the scenes.

Whats the purpose of a push notification without the store now?
