FAQ: All in one place--is there a single comprehensive list of all Devices that work with SmartThings?

@JDRoberts this is a great post thank you very much for putting the effort into this. I have a question you might know an answer to.

How does a device become officially supported? Is there any sort of community involvement where we can ask/vote on device support?

Cheers,

There is a thread where the community can make requests and suggestions, but that doesn’t really care very much weight.

It seems to mostly just be a matter of strategic business decisions, and in particular, the interest of the device manufacturer in cooperating with SmartThings in getting their device certified as compatible. So Samsung has to decide it would be worth the time and effort to certify the device and then the device manufacturer has to be interested in cooperating with that process.

There is an official partnership page for companies that are interested:

And here’s the thread where community members can suggest a device:

Hi everyone, This page is intended for your suggestions about products and devices that you’d like to be compatible with SmartThings (“Works With SmartThings”). It’s also useful for us to hear about how and why you’re interested in the particular integration. Thanks!
