How do you tell if your device is edge enabled?

The FAQ suggests I should open the app, open a device and hit the vertical ellipsis and look for “Driver” as an option. I don’t see this on any devices, even the ones that are working just fine. Maybe I misunderstand what being ‘edge-enabled’ means.

An easy way to see what drivers are being used is to consult the API Browser from @TAustin

Here are some various types:

• Zwave devices using an Edge driver will show Type “ZWAVE”
• Devices using legacy DTH drivers will show Type “DTH”
• Devices using Edge virtual devices will show Type “LAN”
• Cloud to Cloud integrations show Type “VIPER”
• Native Samsung Wi-fi integrations will show Type “OCF”

You can filter by types to see which devices are using which type of driver/integration as well.

SmartThings API Browser+ ... Now Available to All

NOTICE!!: SmartThings has now released its own equivalent of this app here, so you may prefer to use that instead. I have a browser-based web app that provides a point-and-click way to explore most of the SmartThings API. For the non-technical, this gives you access to an important SmartThings resource without having to learn tools like Postman, curl, or the CLI. You don’t even need a computer: a tablet or even smartphone can be used. For the more technically inclined, it provides much faster and more convenient access to those commonly-accessed CLI commands. Although I originally thought of it as a portal for the non-technical, I’ve actually found it quite useful to use during my own development activities. This is not intended as a replacement or ‘competitor’ to the CLI, mysmart…
