Each of the three smart home notifications that you can review in the introduction of the following video were made possible by using a SmartThings Edge compatible virtual switch. The notifications were triggered following the detection of a smart home event. The welcome home notification was triggered by the detection my presence. The smoke alert notification was triggered when my First Alert smoke sensor detected the presence of smoke. And the water leak notification was prompted when my ST leak sensor detected the presence moisture. My Alexa App is connected to ST as a dedicated voice assistant. Because of this integration, the ST App is able to share the status of a virtual switch with my Alexa App. These virtual switches were used in Alexa routines to trigger custom announcements on my Echo Devices. Coming up, I will tell you how to set up one of the routines so you might learn the basics of how the ST and Alexa Apps work together to produce custom notifications. The automation routine which I selected to demonstrate is the Water Leak Notification routine.

The following is step by step instructions for installing the Zooz Edge Driver for the ZEN16 MultiRelay . I previously published instructions on my website to explain how to use the ZEN16 MultiRelay to remotely control any garage door. The relay was made functional by installing a Groovy Custom Device Type Handler (DTH) in the SmartThings IDE. With the elimination of the SmartThings Groovy IDE , a Zooz Edge Driver has been developed to enable the use of the ZEN16 MultiRelay in the new SmartThings Lua based Edge environment. So assuming that you have this device and you would like to continue to use it following the elimination of the Groovy IDE, you should carry out the following steps to reinstall the device with the new Edge Driver.

To set up a virtual contact sensor or a virtual presence sensor use TAustin's vEdge Creator , (a virtual device generator for end users). The SmartThings Community page provides information and tips for installing the vEdge Creator utility. It can be sourced via the SmartThings vEdge Creator link To setup the vEdge Creator utility take the following steps:

In today’s episode I am showcasing the Third Reality Temperature & Humidity Sensor . A SmartThings Edge Driver has been created for this device. Refer to the section below, Instructions for SmartThings Edge Driver Installation for direction on installing the appropriate driver.

Welcome to Bud’s Smart Home where we feature news, automations and products, specific to the Samsung SmartThings platform. You can find Bud’s Smart Home on Facebook , Twitter , Reddit , Bud’s Smart Home Website and you can shop for featured products on Bud’s Smart Home’s Amazon Store. Before we move forward into today’s content, allow me to mention that as I review a few of the automations in that prior Smart Home video , I will be disclosing device driver names and channel invitation links. For your convenience, I have provided product links, edge driver names, channel invitation links and links to the instructional article and videos to assist you in the setup of all edge drivers discussed in today’s episode. Just check the list below titled " Edge Device Driver Links" in today’s article.

The SmartThings Developers are well into the process of creating stock edge drivers for the mapping and migration devices to the new Lua based SmartThings Edge Environment. Many of these drivers have already been downloaded, or will be downloaded to your SmartThings or Aeotec Hub. Most drivers will be applied seamlessly without any need for any intervention from you. However, some devices which are not natively supported within SmartThings may require you to source a compatible driver from SmartThings Community for manual application. Edge drivers for non-native devices can be sourced and downloaded from developer or manufacturer driver channels. Downloaded drivers can be immediately applied by removing device from the SmartThings App and then reinstalling the device. Alternatively, you have the option to wait to see if your device is assigned a stock driver. If a stock driver is assigned, but the device is not functioning as expected, then you may download the correct driver to update the device without the need to uninstall and reinstall your device. Since the Third Realty Blind is not natively supported in SmartThings, it will likely be migrated to the ‘ Zigbee Window Treatment ’ driver which is a SmartThings Beta stock driver. I have tested and found that this stock driver will not provide all of the features and functionality that is currently available within the former Groovy stock device type handler. This means that eventually, you will likely need to download and install the appropriate custom driver to apply to your Third Reality Blind.

To be able to get full functionality from the Third Reality Smart button featured in the following video on my YouTube Channel. You must first install the SmartThings Edge Driver for the Third Reality Zigbee Smart Button before installing the device to the ST App. Here is the Driver Channel Invitation Link and instructions for installing the Third Reality Edge Driver:

Jaewon Park, a SmartThings Enthusiast and Developer of the iquix Edge Driver Channel has posted an article on the SmartThings Community website in which he claims that the Phillips Hue Motion Sensor works with SmartThings app via the “ Hue Motion Sensor" Edge Driver. The Hue Motion Sensor driver allegedly enables the motion sensor within SmartThings without the need for the Philips Hue bridge. Here is a link to the Hue Motion Sensor driver article. An additional SmartThings Community contributor has claimed that the same driver enables the Outdoor Hue Motion Sensor to work with SmartThings as well. Although I have not verified the accuracy of these statements, I have elected to release this information in case someone wishes to try the efficacy of the edge driver and report back to me with the results.

Virtual switches can be extremely useful. If you are not using them as part of your smart home setup you really should. In today’s episode I will tell you everything you need to know about using SmartThings virtual switches to control actions in third-party apps. I’ll cover where to get them. How to get them setup.

INTRODUCTION Welcome to a world of convenience, style, and innovation! Introducing the THIRDREALITY Multi-Function Night Light . Today I'm introducing a Zigbee sensor that's also available as a Matter-capable sensor. Stay tuned for a future article where I'll review the Matter version of this sensor. This device is far more than a mere night light. It's a motion sensor, a luminance sensor, and an RGB Color Night Light all in one. Additionally, it functions as a Zigbee Repeater, fortifying your Zigbee device network. All these features come together in an attractive and budget-friendly package.
