Smart Device pop up bug

[MotoJoe 250]

 

Since moving to another address, a pop up keeps appearing saying I need to allow/deny a smart things device from connecting to my tv. My phone has been connected for a long time, and no other devices could be  attempting to connect to my tv. PLEASE fix this bug, as having a pop up every 1-3 minutes while watching a film is the most disruptive thing I’ve ever experienced with a tv. Even with the setting to stop the notification after the first time doesn’t solve it, I’ve seen posts where 100+ notifications stack in the Device list so it is quite clearly a bug.

Just wonder if could be a neighbour's device trying to connect ?

[MotoJoe 250]

No, because even if I allow the 20 notifications that pop up, nothing changes,  nobody plays anything, it’s just the tv attempting to connect to my phone OR the smart things app attempting to connect to the tv every 1-2 minutes,

If it helps with diagnosis it started when I moved the tv to a new location

have you tried resetting the tv to factory Setting?

[MotoJoe 250]

No not yet, rather not loose all my custom settings over something which seems like it should be a simple fix 

[Mimo40]

yeah I understand kinda frustrating getting things how you want them then something like that happens. Well hope you get it sorted soon.

Don't know if you use the Smart Things app as such - if not can you disable the app on your phone to see if it then stops

I have it, but I’ve never really used it properly, haven’t touched it for months but I checked it when this bug started. I’ll try uninstalling the app when I’m home to see if this resolves it

Hi - am not sure you can uninstall the app but if not you should see option to disable it when you long press on the icon - good luck hope it solves it for you !
