How to build Direct Connected devices with the SmartThings Platform Direct connected devices do not require a middle cloud or a hub. After flashing the firmware the device will use the SmartThings platform as its backend provider. Communication happens directly between the platform and the device over MQTT.

@jody.albritton thank you for the reply. I don’t see anywhere in those links discussing which esp-idf versions are supported. I know when you made that post on how to make direct connected esp32 devices, you said to use v3.3. Just wondering if later versions are supported now.
