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

[ogiewon]

No thread hijack intended. Great work by @heythisisnate on his solution! Nothing but respect for his work, as it has opened my eyes to other possibilities.

Here is another possible option for those already familiar with the Arduino ThingShield platform. My new library does all of its communications via the hub. I am not saying one method is better than another. I am just providing this as an option for using a NodeMCU ESP8266 with SmartThings, via the Arduino IDE.

[DEPRECATED] ST_Anything - Arduino/ESP8266/ESP32

UPDATE 2022-08-17 - Per this recent SmartThings announcement, the Groovy IDE will disabled on September 30, 2022. My best guess is that any existing ST_Anything devices will probably cease to operate at this time, or shortly thereafter. It has been a good 7+ year run for ST_Anything users. I want to thank you all for making ST_Anything a successful project! My son and I really had a lot of fun creating it together, and have enjoyed hearing how you have all used it in so many creative ways. As many of you probably already know, I have moved on from ST and have ported ST_Anything over to Hubitat as “HubDuino”. If you have devices running ST_Anything that you ‘can’t live without,’ at least you know you have options. Another option for ESP8266/ESP32 users would be to use ESPHome along …
