Are there any alternative to SmartThings Shield for Arduino? Is it possible to use xbee instead of the shield, any suggestions?

My best guess is that any existing ST_Anything devices will probably cease to operate at this time, or shortly thereafter. It has been a good 7+ year run for ST_Anything users. I want to thank you all for making ST_Anything a successful project! My son and I really had a lot of fun creating it together, and have enjoyed hearing how you have all used it in so many creative ways.

I’m following the steps based on this https://www.falco.co.nz/electronic-projects/xbee-to-smartthings/
I have a Smartthings link (which connects to Nvidia shield) not sure if that makes a difference.
