    Struggling with controller choices

      one way is you can set up simulated devices ( https://community.smartthings.com/t/faq-creating-a-virtual-device/11282/2 ), use the mqtt bridge and handle the control & status updates on your device or a pi, etc

    iPhone 7 performance v. Android phones
