The unofficial SmartThings 2 app was previously available via the Homey Community Store (HCS) . Unfortunately, the HCS is down/crashed and it is unknown when or if the store will be revived. Should the Homey Community Store (HCS) be revived, you will have the option to install the Homey Community Store app from the Homey Community Space. You may then have access to the SmartThings 2 app as well as many other Homey Community apps. If the Homey Community Store is revived, to install the SmartThings 2 app via the HCS you may my follow the instructions provided in my YouTube video or you can follow the link to my other website article that details the HCS installation process. Since it is not currently possible to install the SmartThings 2 app via the HCS, I took the time and effort to create the following guide for installing the SmartThings 2  application via the Command Line Interface (CLI) install method within the Windows OS. Developing this guide together took a considerable amount of time in research and testing. If you are helped by this content please consider buying me a cup of coffee If you are not familiar with the command prompt, it is a program that provides the interface for typing commands. In Windows, it's called "cmd.exe" and is often referred to as just "command prompt."  A PC command line is a text-based way to interact with your computer. Instead of using a mouse and clicking icons, you type commands and arguments to instruct the computer what to do.  Important Note:  The Command Line Interface (CLI) and is intended for advanced users only. Improper use of the CLI can lead to data loss, instability and damage to your system. Bud's Smart Home will not be liable for any damages to your system resulting from attempts to follow this tutorial to install the SmartThings 2 application on the Homey Pro hub via the CLI. Proceed at your own risk.   Note: The following is an expanded version of the information that was extracted from the Homey Community Article titled “[HOW TO] CLI install method” that can be sourced here . I have added additional instructions and links specific to the installation of the SmartThings 2 app . A special thanks to Adrian Rockall, the Developer of the SmartThings 2 app. If you have questions about the app you may refer them to Adrian within the SmartThings 2 app post on the Homey Community forum . 1.  Before you begin: Make sure you have a Homey Pro hub . This method will not work with the Homey Cloud service. Be comfortable using the Command Line Interface (CLI) on your computer. Here are a couple of commands that you may require to navigate your windows directories in the CLI: o   cd (change directory) [ This command is used to switch between directories. ] o   cd [ Changes the current directory to specified directory .] o   cd .. [ Moves up one level in the directory structure .] o   cd ~ [ Navigates to your home directory .] o   cd - [ Returns to the previous directory you were in .] o   ls (list) [ This command lists the contents of the current directory .] o   ls [ Shows a basic list of files and folders .] o   ls -a [ Lists all files and folders, including hidden ones (starting with a dot) .] o   ls -l [ Provides a detailed list with permissions, owner, group, size, and date/time information .] Remember: Always be cautious when using commands that modify your system  2. Check Your Homey Hub's Node.js Version: On your Homey Pro, go to:  Homey App > Settings > General > About Note the listed “ Node.js version” .

IMPORTANT NOTE: As of the publication of this article, the Homey Community Store is down/crashed. It has been in this state for some time now and it is not known when, or if the store will be revived. There is an alternate method for installing the SmartThings 2 app which permits you to view and control your SmartThings devices, that are installed on your SmartThings or Aeotec hub, from within the Homey Pro app. If you want to attempt this method you can find detailed instructions in my other website article titled " Install the SmartThings2 App in Homey Pro Using the CLI Install Method - Windows OS" Would you like to be able to view and control your SmartThings installed devices within your Homey app. You'll have complete visibility and control of most of your SmartThings installed devices without uninstalling them from SmartThings and reinstalling them on your Homey Pro hub. In this article I will show you the steps for enabling control your SmartThings devices within the Homey App. This is done by creating a personal access token for the Homey app. This feat is possible via an unofficial community app called “SmartThings 2”. The SmartThings 2 app can be accessed via the Homey Community Store, which is found in the Homey Community Space. To access the SmartThings 2 community app, you must create a login and they sign into the Homey Community Space, download the Community Space app. Open the app and find and download the SmartThings 2 app. You must then create a Personal Access Token (aka Bearer Token) using your SmartThings Account. Once the Personal Access Token is generated, you must open the Homey SmartThings 2 app and enter the access token. You will then have the ability to go to the devices tab within your Homey app, tap on the (+) at the top to "add a new device", tap on the "SmartThings 2" app, tap on the “SmartThings Device” tile.  Then tap “Connect”. It is then just a matter of selecting the various SmartThings devices that you want to authorize Homey to access. These are the specific steps to grant Homey Pro access to your SmartThings devices. These instructions will be divided in the follow three sections: Setup Access to the Homey Community Store to access community apps Install the Unofficial Homey Community "SmartThings 2" app Access and follow instructions for generating a PAT (Personal Access Token) from Samsung Assign the PAT within the SmartThings 2 app Select specific SmartThings installed devices to view and control within the Homey Pro app Setup Access to the Homey Community Store to access community apps You will access the Homey Community Store via the Homey Community Space . The Homey Community Space is where you can access the HCS ( Homey Community Store ). The Homey Community store is the alternative store for installing community apps on your Homey Pro hub. These are unofficial apps made by community members for the Homey hubs. Step One: Install the Homey Community Space App To get the Homey Community store you must download and install the app installer: Download the Installer (Windows or Mac) via the Homey Community Space Install the downloaded file " homeycommunity-desktop-Setup-0.2.1.exe " When installing the windows installer you may see a a Windows Defender popup. If so, tap “ More info ” and choose “ Run anyway ” Click "Allow" to the Windows Security pop-up to give the Homey Community Desktop app to access your network. Next click on " Authorize with Homey " ( Yellow button under Homey Community Space ) Select “ Sign up ” to create an account. ( Be sure to check the box to signify your agreement with the terms and conditions! ) §  Note: This is not your Homey Pro login! §  This login info should be unique to the Homey Community Space Once logged in, you will be asked to select your Homey Pro hub's account and you will confirm the Homey account by tapping on it. If you do not see your account you must enter your login name and password In the screen the follows you will tap “ Allow ” to grant Homey CLI following permissions: §  Full access to Homey §  View your name and email §  View your Homey devices (aka hubs)   Step Two: Install the “SmartThings 2” App Open your Mobile app or your desktop app and verify the you have the HCS (Homey Community Space) app installed in your Homey account. To find the HCS app tap on " More " and then tap on " Apps " Find and tap on the HCS app Tap on " App Settings " Login if you are not already logged in Then tap on the “ Store ” tab Find the and tap on the “ SmartThings 2 ” app and install it to your Homey account Back out of the installer and search under your Homey Apps to verify that the SmartThings 2 app was installed Click on the SmartThings 2 app and open “ App Settings ”. If you are on your PC or Mac you will click on “ Configure ”   Step Three: Generate a Personal Access Token SmartThings2 (HCS Version) Install Instructions: https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-smartthings-2-hcs-version/61418   ~ NOTE: The SmartThings app is the unofficial community app that can be found in the Homey Community Store (HCS) NOTE: Follow the instructions in the SmartThings 2 Homey Pro app article to Generate a " Personal Access Token " ( PAT ) using your Samsung Account . Copy the PAT and enter it into the configuration settings of the SmartThings 2 app. Save the settings and then you are ready to add your SmartThings devices for viewing and control within your Homey App. Step Four: Add SmartThings Devices to your Homey App With the access token saved in your “ SmartThings 2 ” app, you will go to the " Devices " tab within your Homey app, tap on the ( + ) at the top to add a new device, tap on the SmartThings 2 app, tap on the “ SmartThings Device ” tile.  Then tap “ Connect ” and select the devices that you want to authorize Homey to access. I highly recommend that you “ Deselect ” all devices and then only select a few of the physical devices to testing first before you bring a massive number of devices into the app. You need to make certain that the app works appropriately, without creating a lot of lag time. Also, you likely want to exclude any virtual switches as well. My app seemed to get slow and lag when I tried to bring all physical and virtual devices into the Homey app. Additionally, assuming that you have your zones all setup, I would recommend that you bring your SmartThings devices in from within each zone. Otherwise, you will need to go into each device individually, after you add the devices, and reassign each device to the appropriate zone. So now you know have the ability to view, control your Samsung SmartThings devices from within the Homey Pro app. As stated earlier, I’ll be using this tool to create flows that replicate and possibly enhance some of my existing SmartThings routines. Do me a favor and let me know your thoughts about this tool. Be sure to like a comment as I enjoy and benefit from your thoughts and opinions.

NOTE: There is an updated article for installing the NEW SmartThings Edge Driver for this device here How to Add a Custom Device Handler for the Zooz Zen16 Multi-Relay The Zooz Multi-Relay is designed with three relay terminals giving you that ability to control up to three garage doors. The Relay is equipped with the latest S2 security protocol to ensure a secure connection. The Rely uses the Z-Wave Plus chip which ensures fast and stable communication with your SmartThings hub. How It Works The Zooz Multi-Relay acts like a wireless push button, imitating the button on the wall which you push to open or close your garage door. When the Zooz Z-wave MultiRelay receives the command, it sends an electrical pulse to my garage door opener in the same way that pushing the garage door opener button on my wall sends current. The button press action in a SmartThings Routine is called “Press Momentary”. This relay can be used to independently control/automate up to three garage door openers. Reference my YouTube video and the expanded video segments below for guidance on how to use it with most garage door openers including Chamberlain and Lift Master garage door openers which are compatible with the MyQ App. Installing the Zooz MultiRelay Device Handler in SmartThings To install the Zooz Device Handler, log into you SmartThings Account here with the same username and password you use for your SmartThings app. Click on ' My Device Handlers' in the top menu: In the top right corner, click on ' Create New Device Handler' and wait until the screen titled 'Create New Device Handler' opens Click on ' From Code' from the top tab menu. You'll be presented with a blank area where you can copy the code from this link and paste it. To copy the code , select all of the code by holding down on your keyboard's ' Ctrl ' key and while holding the ' Ctrl ' key, tap on the ' A ' key to highlight all code. Then click your right mouse button and select ' Copy ' from the dropdown menu. Now, go back to your SmartThings account and paste the code into the blank area by clicking your right mouse button and select ' Paste ' from the dropdown menu Next, scroll to the bottom and click ' Create' then click ' Save' , then click 'Publish' > 'For Me'. Click on ' My Device Handlers' in the top menu and you should now see this device type in your list of Device Handlers How to Exclude and Add your Zooz MultiRelay Device First exclude your Zooz Z-Wave Device if you had tried to add it prior to installing the new Custom Device Handler, or if you have dificulty adding it to your SmartThings App. See my article about " How to Exclude A Z-Wave Device Using the SmartThings App " Now add the device to your SmartThings hub by clicking on the plus sign ' + ' and then ' Device'. Next, tap on ' Scan ' under the phrase ' Scan for nearby devices ' Now power-up the Zooz MultiRelay to begin device discovery Initiate inclusion (pairing mode) and click the Z-Wave button on the device 3 times quickly. The LED indicator will blink to indicate communication and stay on for 2 seconds to confirm inclusion. If you have issues paring the device move it to within 3 feet from your hub during inclusion. The device should be automatically discovered as the Zooz-Zen16 Multi-Relay . Excluding & Adding the MultiRelay with SmartThings: Adjusting the "Switch Type" Settings for your Zooz MultiRelay The SmartThings App will install four devices, the Zooz MultiRelay device plus Zooz MultiRelay-R1, MultiRelay-R2 and MultiRelay-R3. Once the devices are installed, you will need to go into the Zooz MultiRelay device settings to update change the Switch Type to “Garage Door”. Wiring Garage Door Openers Other Than LiftMaster or Chamberlain To wire the Zooz-Zen16 Multi-Relay to most garage door openers you will run two bell wires from the R-1 relays on the multi-relay to the garage door opener contacts were the bell wires from the garage door button are normally attached. See the wiring diagram below: Wiring LiftMaster or Chamerlain Garage Door Openers To wire the Zooz-Zen16 Multi-Relay to a MyQ controlled LiftMaster or Chamberlain garage door opener you will run two bell wires from the R-1 relay terminals on the multi-relay to the circuit board of your garage door remote. See the wiring diagram below: Z-Wave Controller to Door Remote Set-up Allows you to Setup Anywhere In Your Home This setup is independent of the garage door opener. It does not need to be mounted at the location of your opener as nothing is connected to your opener. Therefore you can mount the z-wave controller and garage door remote in any location of your home where you have an available power source as long as it is within signal range of your garage door opener. Attaching Bell Wire to your Chamberlain Remote When attaching your bell wires to your remotes circuit board just look of the appropriate micro switch under the button that you typically press on the remote to open your garage door. You will solder the two wires to appropriate tracings leading to the switch. As far as the proper switch on the circuit board, be sure to select the switch that is directly under the button you are using on the remote to operate the door. Then flip the circuit board over to see the four solder point directly under that switch. Before soldering the circuit, you must first identify the proper circuit board tracers, (the path that electricity travels). Just take a single test wire (a short length of bell wire to be used as a tracer circuit tester) and touch one end of the wire on one of the four solder points of the switch and the other end on one of the three other solder points. If the garage door is activated, then you know you identified the correct solder points to attach your wires. Then just solder two appropriate length of wires on the identified solder point and then attach the now connected wires to the Zooz relay. It does not matter which wire goes to the left or right connect points on the relay. Note: I used my soldering iron to melt notches in my remote cover to accommodate the wires coming out from my circuit board. If you notch both the bottom and top of the remote cover you can run your bell wire through the remote housing and snap the case closed. If you look close at the pictures provided below you will see these wire notches in the remote case. Powering Your Zooz MultiRelay The Zooz-Zen16 Multi-Relay is supplied with a USB C to USB power cord. You will need to purchase a 5 volt, 1 Amp power brick to supply power to the relay. The Zooz site warned that a regular iPhone power brick should be avoided I ordered the following power brick from Amazon. It was supplied with a 6 foot cable USB to USB C cable. Because the Zooz-Zen16 Multi-Relay and the attached Chamerlain garage door remote are independent of the garage door opener, they can be mounted anywhere in you home, just as long as you have a nearby recepticle and the remote signal is with in range of your garage door opener. Testing the Zooz Garage Door MultiRelay With your multi-relay installed, you now have the ability to create routines within your SmartThings and Amazon Apps to control your garage door. I use routines within SmartThings to automitically open my garage door anytime a family member enters into the Smartthings geofence that surrounds our home. I also have a routine that checks our garage door at sunset to determine if it is open, and if it is found open, the routine instructs the relay to send a signal to the garage door remote telling the garage door opener to turn on, thereby closing the door. In order to check the status of your garage door(s), you will need a Aeotec-SmartThings Multi-Sensor or a SmartThings compatible Z-wave Plus Reliability Garage Door Tilt Sensor https://amzn.to/3hpZitW

Recently I purchased a Chamberlain B1381T Smart Garage Door Opener. This is a belt drive opener that is equipped with battery backup. I am extremely pleased with this purchase. The Chamberlain belt drive is much quieter compared to my former screw drive opener. When I purchased this opener I was fully aware that the Chamberlain and LiftMaster garage door openers were intended to be controlled via the MyQ app and were therefore not supported by SmartThings. However, I was hopeful that I might be able to get it to work with SmartThings. After a little research, I stumbled across a video which demonstrated how to automate a garage opener by wiring a smart relay directly to the circuit board within the garage door remote. So I decided to test this method by wiring my GoControl Z-Wave Relay (used to automate my garage door opener) to my Chamberlain garage door remote control circuit board. It worked like a charm! I now have the ability to control my Chamberlain Opener within the SmartThings app. Now I am satisfied with keeping my GoControl Relay to automate my garage door. I’ve used this particular relay for five years and it has proven to be very reliable. But because this particular GoControl Relay is now out of production, I decided to source a garage door relay which I could recommend to any one who might want to replicate this setup. So I purchased and began testing the Zooz ZEN16 Multi Relay. I have found this relay to be as capable and reliable as my GoControl Relay. Hardware Needed for this Automation: If you want to automate your LiftMaster or Chamberlain MyQ controlled garage door opener within SmartThings you’ll need to purchase a Zooz ZEN16 Z-wave MultiRelay and then pair the relay with your Aeotec or SmartThings hub. You will also need to solder two wires to the circuit board of one of your Chamberlain or LiftMaster garage door remotes. (Don't worry, this is easy to do and I provide instructions and illustrations below). You will also need to purchase a Garage Door Tilt Sensor. The tilt sensor is essential for automations as it will permit you to see the open/close status of your garage door within the SmartThings app. I recommended Ecolink Garage Door Tilt Sensor listed below this article. This is the sensor that I have been using for over five years. It has outstanding battery life and it works very reliably. With your smart devices in hand, you will then need to install the Zooz ZEN16 Edge Driver to enjoy all the features of your Zooz Zen16 Relay. You will find a guide on my website, with easy to follow instructions for installing the SmartThings Edge Driver for the Zooz relay. About the Zooz Zen16 Multi-Relay The Zooz Multi-Relay is designed with three relay terminals giving you that ability to control up to three garage doors. The Relay is equipped with the latest S2 security protocol to ensure a secure connection. The Relay uses the Z-Wave Plus chip which ensures fast and stable communication with your SmartThings hub.

Reference my YouTube video and the expanded video segments below for guidance on how to use it with most garage door openers including Chamberlain and Lift Master garage door openers which are compatible with the MyQ App. Downloading and Installing the Zooz MultiRelay Edge Driver for SmartThings To install the official Zooz Edge Driver, just follow my detailed driver installation steps that can be accessed here: Edge Driver Installation Steps for the Zooz ZEN16 MultiRelay How to Exclude and Add your Zooz MultiRelay Device If you had tried to add  your Zooz Z-Wave Device and you have difficulty having the SmartThings app discover your device, then I recommend that you delete and exclude the z-wave relay from your SmartThings App. (See my article about "How to Exclude A Z-Wave Device Using the SmartThings App") Now add the device to your SmartThings hub by clicking on the plus sign '+' and then 'Device'. Next, tap on 'Scan' under the phrase 'Scan for nearby devices'. Now power-up the Zooz MultiRelay to begin device discovery. Initiate inclusion (pairing mode) and click the Z-Wave button on the device 3 times quickly. The LED indicator will blink to indicate communication and stay on for 2 seconds to confirm inclusion. If you have issues paring the device move it to within 3 feet from your hub during inclusion. The device should be automatically discovered as the Zooz-Zen16 Multi-Relay. Excluding & Adding the MultiRelay with SmartThings: Adjusting the "Switch Type" Settings for your Zooz MultiRelay The SmartThings App will install four devices, the Zooz MultiRelay device plus Zooz MultiRelay-R1, MultiRelay-R2 and MultiRelay-R3. Once the devices are installed, you will need to go into the Zooz MultiRelay device settings to update change the Switch Type to “Garage Door”. Wiring Garage Door Openers Other Than LiftMaster or Chamberlain To wire the Zooz-Zen16 Multi-Relay to most garage door openers you will run two bell wires from the R-1 relays on the multi-relay to the garage door opener contacts were the bell wires from the garage door button are normally attached. See the wiring diagram below: Wiring LiftMaster or Chamerlain Garage Door Openers To wire the Zooz-Zen16 Multi-Relay to a MyQ controlled LiftMaster or Chamberlain garage door opener you will run two bell wires from the R-1 relay terminals on the multi-relay to the circuit board of your garage door remote. See the wiring diagram below: Z-Wave Controller to Door Remote Set-up Allows you to Setup Anywhere In Your Home This setup is independent of the garage door opener. It does not need to be mounted at the location of your opener as nothing is connected to your opener. Therefore you can mount the z-wave controller and garage door remote in any location of your home where you have an available power source as long as it is within signal range of your garage door opener. Attaching Bell Wire to your Chamberlain Remote When attaching your bell wires to your remotes circuit board just look of the appropriate micro switch under the button that you typically press on the remote to open your garage door. You will solder the two wires to appropriate tracings leading to the switch. As far as the proper switch on the circuit board, be sure to select the switch that is directly under the button you are using on the remote to operate the door. Then flip the circuit board over to see the four solder point directly under that switch. Before soldering the circuit, you must first identify the proper circuit board tracers, (the path that electricity travels). Just take a single test wire (a short length of bell wire to be used as a tracer circuit tester) and touch one end of the wire on one of the four solder points of the switch and the other end on one of the three other solder points. If the garage door is activated, then you know you identified the correct solder points to attach your wires. Then just solder two appropriate length of wires on the identified solder point and then attach the now connected wires to the Zooz relay. It does not matter which wire goes to the left or right connect points on the relay. Note: I used my soldering iron to melt notches in my remote cover to accommodate the wires coming out from my circuit board. If you notch both the bottom and top of the remote cover you can run your bell wire through the remote housing and snap the case closed. If you look close at the pictures provided below you will see these wire notches in the remote case. Powering Your Zooz MultiRelay The Zooz-Zen16 Multi-Relay is supplied with a USB C to USB power cord. You will need to purchase a 5 volt, 1 Amp power brick to supply power to the relay. The Zooz site warned that a regular iPhone power brick should be avoided I ordered the following power brick from Amazon. It was supplied with a 6 foot cable USB to USB C cable. Because the Zooz-Zen16 Multi-Relay and the attached Chamberlain garage door remote are independent of the garage door opener, they can be mounted anywhere in you home, just as long as you have a nearby receptacle and the remote signal is with in range of your garage door opener. Testing the Zooz Garage Door MultiRelay With your multi-relay installed, you now have the ability to create routines within your SmartThings and Amazon Apps to control your garage door. I use routines within SmartThings to automatically open my garage door anytime a family member enters into the SmartThings geofence that surrounds our home. I also have a routine that checks our garage door at sunset to determine if it is open, and if it is found open, the routine instructs the relay to send a signal to the garage door remote telling the garage door opener to turn on, thereby closing the door. In order to check the status of your garage door(s), you will need an Ecolink Z-wave Plus Reliability Garage Door Tilt Sensor NOTE: You may visit the support page of for the ZEN16 MultiRelay in order to find advanced settings for setting up your Zooz MultiRelay Remember to visit Bud's Smart Home Amazon Store for smart home devices which are compatible with the new Samsung SmartThings Lua architecture.

Aqara Product Information If you review Aqara devices on Amazon you will note that Aqara device descriptions state that their devices require an Aqara Zigbee 3.0 hub. Actually, there are edge driver that make Aqara sensors fully compatible within the SmartThings Lua Edge Driver architecture. In addition to compatibility with SmartThings Versions 2 and 3 hub and the Aeotec hub for SmartThings the Aqara line-up of affordable sensors are also compatible with Aqara Home, HomeKit, Alexa, IFTTT, and more. Not only are these sensors affordable and durable, the Motion and Illuminance Sensor P1 has an industry-leading five-year battery life, even in low temperatures. The detection timeout can be easily configured without any hardware modifications. By configuring the timeout from 1 to 200 seconds, you can save energy or sense every movement in no time. The sensor also has a built-in light sensor that can be used to control lights more precisely. This light sensor can be utilized to only turn on lights when your room is dark and motion is detected. This light sensor is setting is not available in HomeKit and therefore cannot be triggered separately from the motion sensor. The Aqara P1 Sensor has an extra-wide field of view: 170° for up to 4 meters and 150° for up to 7 meters. With a versatile 360° stand, you can easily adjust the viewing angle, and only trigger the sensor when it’s needed. Moreover, the three sensitivity modes high, medium, and low are configurable. These settings refer to the distance the sensor will be triggered. Having this flexibility can help reduce false alarms.

Effective Tuesday, April 26, SmartThings will begin rolling out the SmartThings Edge drivers in support of all newly on boarded Zigbee, Z-Wave, and LAN devices that connect to a SmartThings hub. These drivers run locally on the hub and deliver improved reliability and reduced latency compared to cloud-based device handlers know as Groovy DTHs. This transition marks the start of a gradual process that will include a small number of devices initially, but will expand to cover more devices over the coming months. The steps required to onboard, (or add) devices with Edge drivers is unchanged from the existing experience, and according to the Developers, you should not need additional steps to complete this process. SmartThings Developers have provided some answers to some anticipated questions in the FAQ section of the article (Edge Drivers FAQs). In the text that follows, I will provide you with a brief summary of the information contained in the FAQ section. To use Edge-enabled devices with SmartThings, you will need a compatible SmartThings hub with firmware version 000.038.000XX or greater. To determine your hub’s current firmware version, find your hub in the devices list and tap on the Hub’s tile. Next, tap on the ellipsis, (the three dots) in the upper right hand side of your screen. Then tap on information. Your hub’s firmware version is listed under your Hub’s Name. Your existing hub-connected devices (those which you previously installed) will not be transitioned to Edge drivers. Only devices that are being newly on boarded will have the support of the new Edge drivers. In other words, existing devices will not automatically transition to Edge drivers at this time. If you wish to convert your current devices to use Edge drivers, you must manually transition the device by using the following developer resources. You can access Developer Documentation for SmartThings Edge as well as sample code and list of current Edge drivers. The developers invite you to start a thread or reply to existing threads in the SmartThings Community with questions or feedback on building or using Edge drivers. To identify an Edge-enabled device in the SmartThings app, use the following steps. First open the SmartThings app and select the device. Then tap on the ellipsis at the top right. Edge-enabled devices will list the word “Driver” as an option in the selection menu. The following link, SmartThings Edge Driver List will provide the current list of SmartThings Edge drivers which you can use to determine if a device has a supported Edge driver. If you do not transition your devices to Edge drivers before Groovy support ends (date to be included in a future announcement) those devices will not communicate with the SmartThings platform until they have been re-on boarded or migrated to Edge drivers. If you log into your online SmartThings account and see that your edge-enabled device is showing as a cloud-connected device, be aware that this is due to a known bug with the Graph IDE tool. If your device has an Edge driver it will be running locally through the hub. SmartThings has stated that this current announcement is the first of many that will be made in upcoming months as they complete the conversion away from Groovy Device Type Handlers. I will be keeping you informed of these announcements as we continue our transition to the new locally based Edge Drivers. If you have not yet subscribed, take to opportunity to do this so that you can be informed as updates occur. I’d be interested in your thoughts about this transition. Take a moment to comment below. Until next time, keep automating and God Bless!

Today I want to talk about the Aeotec Multipurpose sensor and explain why it should be your sensor of choice for your Aeotec/SmartThings hub. Aeotec replicates the devices that were previously manufactured by Samsung SmartThings. They are the exclusive hardware producer of the SmartThings devices. Aeotec devices include the Multipurpose Sensor, the Motion Sensor, the Water Leak Sensor and the SmartThings Button. Aeotec also produces their version of the former SmartThings Smart Plug which features power monitoring capability, just like the former SmartThings plug. They produce a 360 degree indoor Security Camera, a Z-wave Range Extender, plus may more sensors that are directly compatible with the SmartThings platform. So what exactly is a Multipurpose Sensor and what are its capabilities? First, it is an open/close sensor (sometimes referred to as a contact sensor). It is capable of monitoring the status of a door, window, cabinet or a safe. The status of the sensor can be used in a routine to send you a notification when a door is opened. The open status can trigger an event such as turning on a light on or trigger an alarm. It also functions as a temperature sensor which can used to turn on a fan or send you a notification when a room’s temperature exceeds a certain threshold. The sensor’s orientation feature allows it to be used as a tilt sensor to notify you if your garage door is open or closed. I use this feature to check the status of my garage door when the last family member departs my home. And last but not least, it is also a vibration sensor. It can detect if someone is knocking on your door or it can detect if dryer or dishwasher has completed a cycle. It can then be used in a SmartThings routine to send you a notification. I am aware that there are other open/close sensors which are less expensive then the Aeotec sensor. And if you are merely interested in a sensor for monitor when a door is open or closed, then you should purchase a cheaper sensor. However, before choosing just any door contact sensor, it is important to know if the device manufacture intends to develop SmartThings compatible Edge Drivers. You see, the SmartThings platform is currently transitioning its application to require devices with Edge Driver support. As a result of this change all supported devices will function locally, without the need for a cloud connection. Using Aeotec products ensures that your devices will continue to function after SmartThings completes its transition to Edge Drivers. Devices without edge driver support may no longer be recognized by your SmartThings hub, absent edge driver compatibility. Aeotec is a reputable smart device manufacture who is committed to providing the necessary firmware updates to ensure ongoing compatibility of its devices with the Samsung SmartThings ecosystem. So if you want a reliable and hassle free device that is simple to install and has SmartThings Edge driver support, then Aeotec should be your product of choice.

NOTE: This article has been updated with Edge Driver support information . On November 6, 2021 I published my first Smart blind video on my YouTube Channel . That video featured the Zemismart roller blind. Since then I have featured two other videos involving Zigbee blinds. I did a review on a SmartWings Zigbee roller blind in January of this year and more recently, I did a review on the ThirdReality Zigbee Smart Blind in June. Since this article is about blind motor battery life, I’m going to comment about my experience with battery life in the three blinds which I have installed. The ThirdReality blind was only recently installed. Like most blinds, it states that the batteries may last up to six months. What is unique about this blind is that it is powered by four AA batteries whereas the other two blinds that I have installed use a tubular motor that is powered by a lithium ion battery. The tubular motor batteries are sealed inside the tube containing the motor. Therefore, if the battery fails inside either of the tubular motors, I’m buying a new tubular motor at the tune of 60 to 80 dollars. If the batteries fail on the ThirdReality blind, I simply replace the four AA batteries for around five dollars. Let me comment on battery performance between the three blinds. The ThirdReality blind in newly installed and has only been in operation for on month. Unfortunately, when the ThirdReality blind is installed in the SmartThings App, there is no battery status so I have no read on battery health. As mentioned previously the SmartWings and Zemismart blinds have lithium ion batteries. Both blinds are automated to open in the morning and close just prior to sunset, so two cycles daily. When making the Zemismart video, I noted that my SmartWings blind had been in operation for five months and the battery level was at 27%. My Zemismart blind stopped working after three months. I’m unsure if I contributed to the battery’s demise or if I was just a defective battery. At one point I had place the blind on solar power and subsequently found that the battery had fully discharge. After I recharged the battery, the charge would only last about one week. Eventually the battery would not accept a charge so motor stopped working all together. So I contacted Zemismart and they graciously agreed to send me a replacement tubular motor. They told me that this was an improved version of the motor. You may watch the following video to see how I installed the Zemismart replacement motor: A Note About Edge Driver Support At the beginning of this video I said I would comment about a response I received from Zemismart regarding their plan for converting their current Custom Device Handler to an Edge Driver. The Zemismart blind uses the Zemismart Zigbee Blind device handler which is a Custom Device Handler. According to SmartThings, is the responsibility of the device manufacture to convert Custom Device Handlers to the New SmartThings Edge Drivers if the device manufacturer wants to maintain product compatibility with SmartThings after the switch to Edge Drivers. An email I received from Zemismart on June 3rd stated that they currently do not plan to convert the custom device handler to a compatible edge driver. If they stick to this position, the blind will no longer connect with the SmartThings hub once the switch is turned off on the Groovy IDE. The SmartWings blind and the ThirdReality blind both use a natively supported Device Type Handler. These Device Type Handlers are in the process of being converted Edge Drivers by the ST developers. So there is Edge Driver support for ThirdReality and SmartWings blinds. Support for the Zemismart Blinds in SmartThings is uncertain at this juncture. If you have questions or comments please let me hear from you in the comments below. Assuming I’ve earned it, tap on that like button. Doing so recommends this article for other viewers. I appreciate your time. Thank you. UPDATE: EDGE DRIVER INFORMATION: Edge Driver for Zemismart Roller Blind 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 Zemismart Roller 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. The edge driver which provides proper control of the Zemismart Roller Blind is the, ‘ Tuya Window Shade ’ driver. This edge driver can be downloaded from the ‘ Iquix’ driver channel . Channel Invitation link: Zemismart Roller Shade - iquix Channel- (Tuya Window Shade Driver Before taking any action, my recommendation is that you check your SmartThings App to see if your Zemismart Roller Blind has been assigned a stock edge driver. To confirm if an edge driver is installed, click on your device tile and then while in the device screen, click on the ellipsis to determine if dropdown list contains the word "Driver". The presence of the word ‘Driver’ confirms that edge driver is installed for your device. If the ‘Driver’ is in the dropdown list, click on the word ‘Driver’ to view the ‘Name’ of the installed driver. If the assigned driver is other than the ‘ Tuya Window Shade ’ edge driver, you should skip steps 1 – 5 in the driver installation steps outlined below, but follow and execute steps 6 – 10 to download the appropriate driver. After the completion of step number ten, click on the ellipsis, tap on ‘Driver’ in the dropdown list, and then tap the option to ‘ Select different driver’ . You will then choose ‘ Tuya Window Shade ’ edge driver to replace the former driver. If dropdown list does not contain the word "Driver", you will need to execute the all of the following steps: As mentioned previously, you must delete and reinstall your smart blind to be able to assign it the edge driver. However, before deleting your blind from SmartThings you will want to take a few extra steps to preserve any routines that you have written to automate your blind. If you have no routines or you are doing a new installation, skip to step #5. To preserve your routine(s), open the SmartThings App, click on your Zemismart Roller Blind . Once in the device screen, click on the word 'Routines' at the bottom of the screen. Go into every routine and add a temporary device to temporarily hold/substitute the place of the current Zemismart Roller Blind . Note: Replacing the Smart Blind with a temporary device in your routines ensures that your routines are not erased when you remove your Zemismart Roller Blind from your SmartThings App. Once you have substituted a temporary place holder device in every routine which contained the Zemismart Roller Blind you may then delete the blind from your SmartThings App. To delete your device from the SmartThings App, while in the device screen, tap on the ellipsis in the upper right-hand corner of the screen. Now tap “Edit” in the dropdown list. Then tap “Delete device” at the bottom of the screen which follows. With the deletion of the blind you may now proceed to accept the ‘ Iquix’ Channel Invitation. Click on the link for ‘ Iquix ’ Channel invitation. Note: After clicking the driver channel link you will be required to sign into your Samsung SmartThings Account. Next you must then select ‘Accept’ to confirm your acceptance of the channel invitation. After accepting the channel invitation, choose your target hub and select 'Enroll'. Note: Sometimes you must to click the button multiple times. Next, click on “Available Drivers” and select “Install” to install the ‘ Tuya Window Shade ’ edge driver. Next, verify the installed driver by going to your SmartThings App, find your SmartThings Hub within the ' Devices ' tab and then click on your Hub. Then while in your Hub’s device screen, select the ellipsis in the upper right-hand corner and then click on the word ‘ Driver ’ from the dropdown list. You will then be able to view a list of all of your installed Edge Channels and Edge Drivers. After confirming the installation of the new ‘ Tuya Window Shade ’ Edge Driver you may now add your device back into SmartThings App by scanning for nearby devices within your SmartThings App. Once the SmartThings App discovers your Zemismart blind, click on your device’s tile and then while in the device screen, click on the ellipsis to confirm that the dropdown list now contains the word "Driver". The presence of the word ‘Driver’ confirms that edge driver is successfully installed for your device. If the Zemismart Blind selected the wrong driver, tap on “Select different driver” and select the ‘ Tuya Window Shade ’ Edge Driver. All that remains to do is to remove the “temporary/substitution device” from each of your SmartThings routines and add the Zemismart Blind back into your routines.
