Basic Device Handler for IP garage door sensor--help needed

[heythisisnate (Nate Clark)]

Thanks so much for this thread, especially @adam1010 for the sample SmartApp and Device Handler code that you posted here. This was very helpful to me in my project to connect a few wired contact sensors & a motion sensor to SmartThings via a NodeMCU ESP8266 board. I basically copied your SmartApp code

Works like a charm. Here are some details of my project if anyone is interested:

Connect wired alarm system sensors to SmartThings with a NodeMCU ESP8266 [deprecated]

Update July 20, 2017: Thanks to tremendous support from this community, this alarm system integration project has evolved into a DIY kit project that we’re calling Konnected Security. Please see the latest Release Announcement here The open-source source repo has also moved to konnected-io/konnected-security on Github Original Post below: The house I live in was built in the early 90s and came with a built-in home security system. I’m not interested in using the outdated alarm system panel, but I wanted to connect the contact sensors in my doors and the motion sensor in my house to SmartThings. I learned about the NodeMCU ESP8266, a small, cheap, programmable development board that has WiFi built in. I set out to connect my door and motion sensors to the NodeMCU and program it to update …

The OAuth part was a little tricky. I used the Advanced REST Client chrome app to manually make the HTTP Post to obtain the OAuth token. As @adam1010 suggested, once you have the OAuth token, you can just code that into your RaspPi or NodeMCU to sign every request with it.
