Don’t waste your money

Doesn’t work at all !! wait for a later version.. Glad it wasonly 4 bucks

Works well, with more on the roadmap!

This app, combined with SmartThings, is exactly what I needed. I had a bunch of Airplay speakers and wanted to integrate them into my home automation setup. However, I didn’t want to go out and buy a bunch of Sonos speakers…too much money! This app does exactly what I needed, which is awesome, since I have a Mac Mini that is always on already. I emailed the author asking about some additional features and they have already been submitted to the App Store…awesome! There are a few quirks, some of which are currently limitations with SmartThings, such as an issue with updating within the SmartThings app. But, it sounds like there are solutions on the way. I can’t wait to see where this app goes.

Whoa, this is amazing!

I can’t believe this app is in the store. I basically just got a Sonos lite system with SmartThings integration for $4! Works flawlessly. Great help videos on the site for getting it up and running. Absolutely worth the money. Thank you thank you thank you!

Good. Will be great.

Quite a while ago, I invested in Airport Expresses for my existng stereos to create a sort of “poor-man’s Sonos” setup. I had always envied Sonos users that use Smartthings, but now I have it all. In fact, this provides more options than Sonos even provides. One caveat though. This version (1.1.1) on your Mac works perfectly. There is an updated version of the SmartApps on Smartthings that Smartthings has not yet published. When it does, the full power of this released will be unlocked. If you are a power user, you can get the source code from ObyThings, and compile the SmartApp yourself in order to get the full functionality. I am writing this review in anticipation of Smartthings publishing this, as I have been using the version I compiled myself for a while now.

not even to start

Downloaded today and app not able to start … don’t waste your money :(((

Can’t even find mobile smartapp to connect with anymore

This program use to work but after server updates I am having problems. I tried to uninstall and reinstall the smart things obyone smart app, but the Smarthings app is completely different from the one documented on the ObyThing site. I can no longer find an ObyThing app. :-( Looks like the only way to get music with Smartthings is to use Sonos now. bummer….

App will not load

It would appear that the app is no longer working - expect for the taking of my money part. I successfully downloaded the app to my Mac Mini running OS El Capitan and… nothing happens. I click on the icon and the app will not start. The money was taken rom my account but my hopes of integrating this app with my new SmartThings hub have been dashed because it doesn’t work. Yes, this app is mentioned in the SmartThings forum but it appears that the developer hasn’t updated his app in over a year and it is now just running on fumes with no support. Do Not Purchase...
