FAQ: Full list of buttons and remotes confirmed to work with SmartThings [Not all devices listed work with the 2020 Platform]

Yet another hack to consider… @davglass wrote a proof of concept smartapp that allows an iBeacon to control a SmartThings switch. (Can be a virtual switch.) requires an iOS device in the house, though.

Anyway, it’s possible to put the iBeacon inside a decorative metal box and have a two state “button.” Weird, but works for some use cases.

Mobile Presence and iBeacon (discussion beginning 2015)

My Moto X does the same thing for its Home Detection schema, and Tasker has a very rich set of options for detecting home as well. It seems like a very easy addition for SmartThings. Until then, I’ll keep using @joshua_lyon’s aw…
