HB Fan Light Control VS Smartthings New App

[trirocketman (David Wright)]

I have 2 Harbor Breese Fan Light controllers and I really like the way they work. The thing is, that I use the KOF device handlers but I don’t get any functionality out of the new ST app. I believe that the Classic app is doing all the work and the New app doesn’t do anything. I have the devices listed in the New app but when pressed they do nothing. The Classic app with automations works very well. Does this mean that when the Classic app is disconnected, that I will have $100.00 worth is controllers that won’t work? I sure hope this is not the case. I may have to switch to Hubitat. I hear they have a lot of users that make things work. Like ST use to have.

I use the KOF device handlers

I am not familiar with this DTH. Have you contacted the developer? There is also a thread on editing DTHs to get them working in the new app that may or may not help with getting the DTH to work but worth looking at.

New app — which CUSTOM DTH’s will work?

I was encouraged by other forum community members to start a topic to discuss which custom device handlers a.k.a. DTH’s will be supported in the new app. (If any ) For those of you that are using the new app, can you confirm any custom device handlers that are working? Below are the ones that I use and am seeking info on… Thanks in advance… @posborne [image] [image] Also, if custom DTH’s are not going to work, Will those devices show up in the new app? Or do I have to exclude them and then add them again using their default device handler?

Someone just posted about development of a handler that will work in the new app. It doesn’t sound like it’s 100% ready yet.

Hampton Bay Zigbee Fan controller

For those using the device, here you have a first draft for the device handler compatible with new app. Still missing a better feedback for turn on and turn off light, but it can be used as a starting point to revive this device handler

There’s no indication this will be happening anytime soon.

The original developer @dalec has jumped to Hubitat and is no longer maintaining the code or active in the community.

I just want to add that the fans have On-Off control but the lights don’t work. So thanks for working hard and getting at least limited functionality.
