Capability Reference Completeness

SmartApps & Automations

Excellent… Now if only we could get the list of Commands, Attributes (and Events) for each.

I wonder if a creating a stub Device Type and virtual instance would work with the enumerate SmartApp.

Great!

Now I can start to complain about them… :smiling_imp:

(Window Shade Capability without: % open?, blade angle?).

So I saw some new capabilities are now documented here http://docs.smartthings.com/en/latest/capabilities-reference.html.

I just tried to add the ‘Voltage Measurement’ capability to my Aeon HEM v2 device handler and I get the error:

java.lang.RuntimeException: Metadata Error: Capability ‘Voltage Measurement’ not found. @ line xx

What’s the deal here? Are these new capabilities available to use yet? Are they perhaps going to be introduced with firmware update (scheduled for tomorrow)?

Also, why has voltage been added, but not current or power factor?

I doubt most of these are loaded into the firmware, as only a subset of Device Types run locally.

I presume you’ve tried variations on quotes and spacing, capitalization… ? There might even be an internal spelling error on ST’s side!

Because SmartThings neglected to run these through any means of Community review and feedback opportunity :cry:… We’ve been told they are trying to devise a better process for future Capability definitions.

Thank you!
