I don’t know if there is any user tutorial, this is the link to official post
https://community.smartthings.com/t/preview-smartthings-managed-edge-device-drivers/229847?u=mariano_colmenarejo

But I’ll tell you the main thing:

  • The first thing you have to see is if the fingerprint of the device you want to use with an Edge driver is included in that driver.
  • You must enter the IDE and see its fingerprints, especially the exact manufacturer and model
  • This is not well resolved at the moment, I am updating the lists of supported devices in the header post, but they are not always up to date, since they are added continuously.
  • There is also the official smartthings Beta drivers channel with many drivers and there are also no lists of which devices are supported.
  • A clue not always reliable is that smartthings is including in edge driver the devices that are supported by stock DTH, but the name of the DTH does not have to match the name of the new edge Driver. For example, in the Beta stock smartthing Zigbee Switch driver there would also be plugs, switches and dimmers with and without power measurement, light bulbs of all kinds… and many more.
  • There is a link to the smartthings github where you can see the file that contains all the drivers and their fingerprints files where all the supported models are.
    GitHub - SmartThingsCommunity/SmartThingsEdgeDrivers
  • This is how to see them:

    • Enter the link click on code and on folder click drivers/Smartthings

    • You will see the folders that contain the drivers, by name

    • Open the one you want to see

    • Look for the fingerprints.yml file and open it

    • Search to see if the model of your device is there. You can press F3 and write the name in the search field

    • If your device is supported, go to the smartthings channel

      SmartThings. Add a little smartness to your things.

    • Install the driver in your Hub

    • Uninstall your device with the App

    • Add new device and tap search nearby

    • The device will be paired with the installed driver instead of the DTH

    • If it doesn’t pair, it means that you were using a custom DTH and you should uninstall it from your IDE or modify the DTH so that it doesn’t see your device’s fingerprint, writing // at the beginning of your device’s fingerprint code line.

I opened left something, but this should be valid for almost all cases and hopefully it will improve when the Beta phase is over
