Hello there, I’m new here to Smartthings. I just read the documentation and now I want to make a Device Type Handler. Now I made a Device Handler with a GUI ( Tiles ) and on this GUI are two Buttons. One to increase the temperature and one to decrease. Now I made the functions ( tempup and tempdown ).
Now I got 2 Problems.
-
I included the Thermostat capability. I can change the Values of own created attributes by sendEvent on the installed method and then this value is shown in the smartthings app. But I can’t change the value of attributes that are already defined by the capability. For Example: thermostatSetpoint. Do I have to initialize these attributes I need of a capability first or how can I use them?
-
I can change the values of my own attributes on the installed method. But when I try to change the Value in another function like “tempup” or “tempdown”, the Value don’t change in the Smartthings app.
I hope you understand what I mean, otherwise just ask.
Hopefully someone can help me.
