After processing Create New DTH in IDE, when we enter the following cli using the ID of the DTH, we get deviceConfig.json, right?

CLI:
$ smartthings presentation:device-config:generate “SECRET_ID” --dth -j -o=deviceConfig.json

deviceConfig.json

You don’t need to read all deviceConfig.json! Below is an estimate of the results.

If you use the following command using this deviceConfig.json file, a vvid appears, and then applying this vvid to DTH creates the UI we want to create, right?

$ smartthings presentation:device-config:create -j -i=deviceConfig.json

But what I want to do is make it like this. (Bringing capabilities into components)

For this, you just need to set component for each capability of deviceConfig.json, right?
When I did that, the question was no. Is there any way to do this? What am I missing?

Waiting for your answer, I will work hard to develop it… Thank you

Hi there!
Can you give more details about the device are you trying to integrate, please? For example:

  • Type (Zigbee, Z-Wave, C2C, etc.)
  • Model, eg. Is this a device you bought? Such as a smart bulb (LIFX, Philips Hue, etc.)
