Hello all,
Hope you guys can help me out with this one. I am having issues trying to get homebridge and smartthings to work nicely together.
My ios device sees “homebridge” in my hesperus/ homekit app but the app never sees any switches under it (as part of it’s group)
Could any of you guys give me a hand at figuring out what may be causing this issue?

Ask in the following thread (this is a clickable link) and someone will be glad to help you:
Homebridge is an OSS Node.js server that emulates the iOS HomeKit API. I’ve just submitted a pull request to that project that adds support for creating HomeKit accessories for each of your Hello, Home actions, and by extension, enabled a means to trigger them via Siri.
Setup is a little complicated. You need:
A membership in the iOS Developer Program
The SmartApp at homebridge/HelloHomeBridge.groovy at smartthings · jnewland/homebridge · GitHub installed on your SmartThings account with OAuth enabled
The version of HomeBridge from the above linked PR running on a server on your local network
BetterHomeKit installed on your iOS device
Given those ingredients:
Install the HelloHomeBridge SmartApp into the SmartThings app on your iOS device.
Open the HelloHomeBridge SmartApp
Copy the g…

Good Afternoon JDRoberts, I have to apologize in advance for being very green to this and if what I am asking is posted somewhere else, could you please point me in the right direction?
I am running Homebridge v1.1.7 on Raspberri Pi and I have added the Homebridge Smartthings Plugin. This is the verified plugin that was written by pdlove. In order to configure this, I am needing the following information
From my reading it tells me that a lot of this information can be found from the SMART Things Classic app but I understand that it is no longer available and I can’t seem to locate this information in the new SMART Things app.
Thank you again in advance, I really appreciate any help.

I can’t help you, but if you read the following thread, the people there should be able to.
Note that there is a new version of the code you were trying to use, so I would start with that one. (The topic title is a clickable link)
Plugin Change Notice
I’m about to make things slightly more confusing but simpler in the end
In an effort to simplify the discovery and maintenance of the SmartThings plugin for Homebridge I wanted to consolidate the available packages in NPM.
So I reached out to @pdlove who was the owner of the homebridge-smartthings plugin to get access to the GitHub repository and NPM package, and he quickly relinquished control to me.
I then updated the repository and package to the latest version to match that of my homebridge-smartthings-v2 plugin code.
Once I updated the repository and plug I then submitted the homebridge-smartthings plugin for review to become a verified homebridge plugin, and as of this morning it’s officially verified and will become the plugin I maintain goin…
