Hey everyone,
A fellow-SmartThing owner and I built a system to bridge MQTT and SmartThings ! It allows two-way communication of SmartThings device attributes with other MQTT interfaces. For example, if I have a Z-Wave Dimmer Lam in SmartThings called “Fireplace Lights” it would transmit and subscribe on the following topics:
# Brightness (0-99)
/SmartThings/Fireplace Lights/level
# Switch State (on|off)
/SmartThings/Fireplace Lights/switch
The architecture is pretty simple , it works via a SmartApp , DeviceHandler , and a Web Service (running via Docker).
Our main goal was to be able to use Home Assistant with our existing SmartThings ecosystem. And we easily got it to work!
Check it out and give us feedback.
