I still have not been able to get the button events to register on ST. I have no bulbs paired to the hub.
@milandjurovic71 still no success, yet. Iām wondering which version of ST hub you are using, although I donāt know if it makes any difference. I am using version 2.
I may try to remove all Ecosmart devices and reset the hub, just to see if that helps.
I do have v2 hub, too. I would not recommend to reset hub, especially if you have a lot of devices and automations, scenes etc. As you will lose them. I did remove all EcoSmart devices and started from scratch.

@BroderickCarlin I installed your DTH from repo mentioned above, and everything works fine for me. I see some people have issues with adding more remotes, that start controlling other bulbs. I found a bug in DTH. When remote is used after is linked to hub and a bulb, it works fine, but change in color temperature is not reflected on SmartThings devices page for the EcoSmart bulbs. All other changes are showing, except for color temperature change. Can this be fixed prior to public release? Not sure is it bulbās or remoteās DTH.
I was thinking of just setting up the commands in home assistant but I only see the device battery sensor there. I donāt see the 4 buttons.
Buttons do not show as any kind of actuator/sensor/etc in home assistant besides battery level. Button presses generate events that home assistant can react to.
Hereās the event section from the official integration page
Hereās a short discussion that helped me get going in the right direction
I was having this issue. Iām assuming you installed the DTH. Have you changed it in the API? Chances are you need to. After making sure the remote has the correct device type in the API, try resetting and re-pairing it again. I did that and my remote paired with the device handler attached. However, still no button indicators in the new app, and I could see button presses in live logging, but it spit out useless info. I reset the remote one more time, deleted it from the ST end, and re-paired one more time, and everything showed up correctly.
Iām not positive that will help you, because I donāt know exactly what went wrong, but Iām pretty sure mine was having a hangup with correctly attaching to the handler.
The remote only needs to be paired to the hub, but the remote will only work with our V2 or V3 hub. If you continue to see issues shoot me a PM with the email associated with your account and Iāll see whats up.
If you want the original functionality you would be better off either not joining the bulb/remote to SmartThings or recreating the original functionality through automations/webcore.
Can you elaborate on what you are seeing? Just to be clear, the DTH is only for the remote itself, not for the bulbs
Is this update out yet?
I think I have tried everything twice, at this point. Removed all Ecosmart devices from hub, unpaired each remote to every bulb, then reset each remote. I decided to focus on only one bulb and two remotes, in an attempt to have one remote control the bulb and the other to only function as buttons for the DTH.
Again, no success, but thatās OK. I need to learn to use Webcore, anyway. If a solution is presented, I will try again.
Thank you for all your efforts.
@blkwll Today I added more bulbs and remote and that one took over everything. I ended up with same problem. 
If you have multiple remotes, only way is to have remote linked to hub and use it as buttons, or linked to the bulb and use is as factory intended. Bulbs can still be linked to hub and controlled by both, SmartThings app and ecosmart ābuttonsā, or SmartThings app and EcoSmart remote with TouchLink only. I can still achieve what I intended as each bulb came with one remote, and I am grouping many bulbs together, and have multiple remotes that can be used for each group, one with TouchLink, and many as SmartThings buttons. Solution is that TouchLink remotes can not be linked to SmartThings, unless you have only one.

I donāt have a full step by step, but itās common with touchlink that nearby devices keep getting added into the wrong groups. Typically this problem can only occur at the moment of joining.
So the usual field tech solution is tedious, but should work: take all the other devices off power before adding the next new device. Not just turn off, but take off power. (Remove batteries, unscrew lightbulbs.) then after everything has been added individually, you can put everything back on power and it should be OK.
I donāt know if thereās any specific problem with this particular device, though.
@BroderickCarlin I guess itās EcoSmart tunable bulb. When changes in Light temperature happen outside of app, color temperature change is not reflected on devices page. All other changes are shown live as it happens. I am using EcoSmart EcoSmart remote that bulb came with to make changes. Bulb is connected to the hub, and remote is connected to the bulb using factory TouchLink. If I turn bulb on/off using remote, device page is showing status changes. It is the same for dimming. Dimmer slider moves as I am pushing remote button. Only one that is not updating status is for color temperature.
I understand it is light bulbs DTH issue.
Those are zigbee EcoSmart light bulbs.
I was thinking along these lines today, but fell short by leaving my singular test bulb powered on when adding the a second remote.
Makes sense, if there is such a thing with these entanglements.
Thanks for the infoā¦ hopefully I can try this tomorrow, and see.

Well, nothing is perfect, but itās still pretty good.

@JDRoberts That is how I was adding bulbs and remotes, by cutting power off, and everything worked well. I had 4 groups of Lights with remotes working fine. Today I added another group and one more remote, and probably missed to disconnect one or two, and everything got messed up.
I might try re-adding everything from scratch again.

Just wanted to follow up with everyone and say that the DTH has been officially released. I would highly suggest anyone that self installed the DTH to switch to the officially released copy and removed the self-published version. This way you will be kept up-to-date with any fixes

Can someone give instructions on how to install this DTH? I checked:
- New SmartThings app - Supported Devices
- old app - Marketplace
and couldnāt find any mention of an Ecosmart button or remote.
Do we need to unpair and repair our remotes from the app?

How do I find the official release?

New to DTHs and SmartThings.
Do we need to add the DTH separately or do we just need to pair the remote to SmartThings and it will know how to handle it the remote using the DTH?
