Looking at BTF Lighting strips for an under cabinet project. Anyone have any experience with these? Out of the box says compatible with Alexa and Google Home but want to go direct (or near direct) integration with ST. Option is to just cut off the PS and controller and use Fibaro and a quality PS.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but you responded to a 4-year old post. If you click the original poster’s name, you can see he last posted in June of '20–so, don’t get your hopes up he will see this.

SmartThings is a big complicated System and the company doesn’t really provide beginner tutorials. So you just kind of have to walk around in the dark bumping into things until you find something specific you want to research.

There’s also a separate set of FAQs, just for questions about automations and routines:
We used to keep a “get started“ list of topics, but smartthings went through a major major architecture change in 2023, and the list has not been updated to remove obsolete threads. So I don’t know if it’s really helpful right now, but here it is. A lot of the topics are still applicable, but some of them are not.
