My guess is that SmartThings (like Pokemon Go) has got too big, too fast and the servers can't always keep up. They're working damn hard to figure it out, and doing a great job but I don't know I want to trust my home security system to them
yet.
The day is coming when I think that things like monitored home security can be very much DIY, and built into an existing home automation system like SmartThings, but I think we need to let the whole smart home category mature a little bit first.
