Could you please provide more information on how you deleted the prior SmartThings connection? Just to clarify, the Groovy SmartApp is no longer supported and should be removed.
Here are the steps to delete the Groovy SmartApp:
- Open the SmartThings mobile app.
- Tap the Automations tab at the bottom.
- Scroll down to the SmartApps section (if necessary, expand it).
- Long press on the SharpTools entry and select the Delete option.
Regarding the issue you’re facing, it seems that the discontinuation of the Groovy platform by SmartThings may be complicating things. SharpTools no longer utilizes the Groovy SmartApp, and Groovy SmartApps are no longer functional due to SmartThings shutting down their Groovy platform. Although several remnants of Groovy SmartApps are still visible in the mobile app, SmartThings likely kept them for reference purposes during the transition to new versions of those apps.
For further details on this, you can refer to the original Groovy Shutdown announcement thread; however, most of the information provided there may be outdated as the migration process has already been completed:
In the case of SharpTools, our new connection is considered a ‘Linked Service’ and can be found deep within the SmartThings app settings. To authorize your SmartThings connection starting from your SharpTools User Page, please follow the steps mentioned above.
