ActionTiles Not Reflecting New Device?

Hi there, new here…I know the answer to this must be absurdly simple but I’m out of ideas. I got approved to install ActionTiles and it’s great. All of my devices imported and everything largely works as it should. I’ve since added a virtual dimmer to my hub. I can see it in the IDE and it responds correctly in the app. However, when I go to authorize it from ActionTiles it does not show up in the list of devices I can check off to work with AT.

In short, when ActionTiles goes to the IDE “Authorization” page every device shows except that one. What am I missing? Really appreciate any help!!

Not a totally uncommon problem, Oleg...

Please read the KB Article at this link and then tell me the exact vendor/model/Device Type of the missing sensors.

Some Things are missing from SmartThings Authorize Things screen?

Thanks! I actually JUST fixed it as a result of reading that same post :slight_smile: I skimmed the help topics and obviously didn’t pay enough attention because I missed that one. RTFM indeed.

Appreciate the help.

The specific device type was this one:

Thanks… I’ll submit a pull-request to @MichaelS to add: Capability "Sensor" to this DTH (unless this post spurs him to do it ;-)).

I am on it… :slight_smile:

Wow, I feel like I kinda/sorta contributed for a change :slight_smile:

You really did!

That’s what SmartThings Community is all about!

Thank you for the note about this…the DTH (device type handler) has been updated to 1.1.1, and the documentation has been updated as well.

Thank-YOU, @MichaelS!

But the crusade continues…

Though it doesn’t affect ActionTiles’s ability to authorize this Device, as a DTH that accepts Commands (on, off, setLevel…) it is also supposed to claim: Capability "Actuator", please.

Ok…updating that as well…

Actually looked in my Alexa Helper and Google Home Helper code and it appears I added these commands to those dimmers. I have updated the virtual dimmer as well (and the documentation):
