SmartThings air conditionersWorksMerged PR adds AC support, plus optional modes (Sleep, WindFree) and light switch
Saved copy
Hi, I've implemented air conditioner support for your plugin as I had the same need as Issue #88. I had to change the way capabilities are assigned to services to make this work. I hope I did not over refactored, and that it might work for you! This PR does the following: add AirConditionerService as BaseService expose mandatory thermostat and fan from AirConditionerService expose optional HumiditySensor from AirConditionerService add configuration option (ExposeHumiditySensorForAirConditioners) to make HumiditySensor exposure optional refactor service/capability assignment to avoid …

I'm still using SmartThings zigbee multisensors for doors and windows. They work well and with enough wired repeaters (switches) nearby, the batteries seem to last nearly a year.

SmartThings switchesWorksSwitches and locks work; no sensors, cameras or multi-tap
Saved copy
For anyone hoping for a new SmartThings integration/connector: I just installed "homebridge-smartthings-ik" after watching the project for a few weeks and it's pretty slick! All of my ST switches added to HK with little/no effort and they appear to be functional. Had to assign them to rooms in HK, but that was about it. Of course things like double/triple-taps are not supported, but this is definitely progress! ~~Also worth mentioning that the plugin does not appear to support my ST sensors (leak and motion) nor my ST cameras. However switches covers about 80% of devices I currently have in …

Topgreener switchesWorksAdded via SmartThings using Tuya brand
Saved copy
This is great. I was prepared to simply stop using two older Topgreener switches but I used this plugin to add both switches to Homebridge and then to Home. Took a bit of effort as I first had to create the Samsung account (SmartThings), and then use Tuya brand as Topgreener was not listed under a Smartthings supported Brand. ... And I also missed that I needed to create an Access Token. All good now and everything works great.

Schlage Connect Z-Wave lockPartly worksWorks in SmartThings but status updates flaky or delayed in HomeKit
Saved copy
I replaced one my Schlage Connect ZWave locks with a Kwikset Premis. First unit came with a broken connector, but replacement is fine. That left one more Schlage on my back door. I have been trying to use it through Smart Things hub -> homebridge smartapp -> homebridge with smartthings plugin. It works perfectly in the Smart Things app but flaky at best into Homekit. Most of the time the status is not updated or might update an hour later (or never). So, one or more of the software components in that long chain is suspect. Status is the most important thing for this lock. So, I buy another …

… up an automation but not sure if it is a limitation of Apple HomeKit or the Hombridge plugin I am using: I currently have an automation running on my SmartThings that will notify me when my Smoke/CO2 Detectors, connected via ZWave, are below 78% battery. I was trying to move my automations all to the Apple Home app and I was able to find the sensors but there was nothing at all I could find around battery. Almost all options were only around time and geo-location (people home or not). Is it just that the Homebridge plugin does not pull in “battery level” and maybe I can request the developer …

Hi All- Just installed this doorbell: https://www.tp-link.com/us/home-networking/cloud-camera/tapo-d225/ to replace my Ring (and cancel my Ring subscription...feels like a weight lifted). Any suggestions on how to link it with HB? What I've tried: 1. Integrated it with SmartThings. Worked great in the ST app, but the SmartThings Plugin doesn't seem to know what to do with it (Log Error: "Missing button status from front door doorbell"). The doorbell shows up in HK (unconfigured button), the 'motion sensor' aspect seems to work, but there's no video and no alert when someone rings the bell. 2. …
