Smartthings create new smartapp11/21/2023 ![]() In July 2023 they added an “advanced users“ page with more technical details: SmartThings provides an official account web interface for the new architecture at my. If you want to find detailed information about your smartthings account which is not available in the app there are two good places to look. The community has put in a feature request to have the smartthings app changed so you won’t be allowed to try to switch an LAN device (since it isn’t going to work anyway), but that hasn’t happened yet.į. If you are getting custom code for an LAN edge driver the author will usually give you instructions about how to switch your device to it, so you’ll need to read those instructions carefully if your device is not using Z wave or directly-connected Zigbee. Devices in this category include the hue bridge and Sonos. In contrast, LAN devices typically exchange a security key when they are first added to your account and trying to switch to a new driver may make that device non-functional. If instead you make the change in the smartthings app on your mobile device, it will take effect immediately.)Ĭaution: switching works fine for Z wave or directly-connected zigbee devices. (While it is possible to switch between drivers by using the web interface at Samsung account, that appears to just sync up the change to be implemented later, probably on a time cycle. Just remember that you have to already have the edge Driver you want to switch to downloaded onto your hub. You can also switch from one edge driver to another for zwave or Zigbee devices by going into the “device details“ for that device in the smartthings app. ![]() Once the edge driver is downloaded to your hub, when you go to add a new device that needs that particular edge driver, it should automatically use it. You will also automatically get future updates to that edge driver.Į. Once you have subscribed to a driver, it will be automatically downloaded to your hub. To use one of these you follow a link to a “channel” page where you can subscribe to individual custom edge drivers created by the author of that channel. ![]() Sometimes you might want to use a “custom” edge driver created by the device manufacturer or another community member instead of the stock edge driver for that device. They also get automatically updated as needed when the hub gets a firmware update. These are automatically downloaded when you add the hub to your account. Samsung supplies every customer who has a hub with a bunch of “stock” Edge Drivers. To use an Edge Driver, you have to get it loaded onto your own hub. These do use the 2023 architecture but they don’t need Edge Drivers.Ĭ. ![]() Some examples of this are Ring doorbells, Arlo cameras, and Google Nest products. If you don’t have a hub, you can skip all the rest of this thread: it won’t apply to your setup.ī) If your device uses a “cloud to cloud” integration where it talks to its own manufacturer’s cloud and that cloud sends messages to the SmartThings cloud, again this FAQ will not apply, so again you can skip all the rest of this thread. If you are new to SmartThings, the basics of the SmartThings architecture are pretty simple:Ī) An “Edge Driver” is code that runs on your SmartThings/Aeotec hub so the hub can talk directly to an individual device. For hub-connected devices, including Zwave and Zigbee, the DTH replacement will be Edge Drivers, which are written in the Lua programming language and will run locally on your own hub. The Samsung-hosted free groovy cloud gradually went away beginning on September 30, 2022. As of September 2023, SmartThings has now almost completed transition to a new architecture, part of which is called Edge.
