Nice! One thing I would like to see is some way to reserve names so that only I can use them – right now if I'm publishing data to http://dweet.io/follow/outdoors , anyone can easily override that with http://dweet.io/dweet/for/outdoors?no=temp&for=you - so that'd be a neat feature. Unless the idea is that handles would be shared between devices...

BTW, I'm dweeting that outdoor temperature using SmartThings and this code - https://gist.github.com/alexking/8880479

Hey, this is awesome. Would you mind if we sent a tweet about what you did and link to that code? Any chance you might be interested in writing a guest blog on how you connected?
Yes this is by design to make it easy. Being able to lock things to make them private is an upcoming feature. No promises, but probably will be available this coming week.
Just curious - are you accessing your SmartThings device directly or via their API? Thx.
