Get ready to make the switch!

Where does this leave community users who have created or maintain custom DTHs for devices that don’t have official support from Samsung?

As the last user remaining that is maintaining a collection of custom DTHs for Xiaomi / Aqara ZigBee-based devices, I want to know what my options are in terms of bringing full compatibility with the new SmartThings mobile app.

My problem is it appears I am essentially barred access to the new Samsung developer tools and new documentation because I am a third party. I would have to be a employee or official representative of Xiaomi / Aqara in order to gain access.

So I do not have a clear idea of exactly what changes need to be made to all those DTHs I am maintaining to get them fully working in the new app.

I want to know: what options do I have?

If Samsung is not going to provide full support in the new SmartThings mobile app for community-created DTHs for devices of companies that aren’t interested in approaching Samsung directly, then I don’t want to be the one to make that announcement on the above-linked thread. You or another staff member of SmartThings should do that so users are well-informed to make whatever choices they need to make as a result.
