Hi, Ive been with ST for a while and very use to the IDE with DTH etc , but now in the new world of Edge Drivers I’m baffled.

Andrew, you dont need to use the CLI to install most drivers. You just have to find the channel invite like the one I provided above for Mariano’s channel and then accept and enrol your hub and then install the drivers you want from that channel.

You have to remove the device and then pair it again and it should pair with the new driver. Make sure you dont have any custom DTH’s for that device in the IDE or it will pair with that DTH again. You can also wait and eventualy ST should migrate the device to the driver.

Keep in mind that any routine that uses that device when you remove it may be deleted if it is the only device in the routine. What you can do is change the device in the routine to another device or virtual device and then change it back after you have added the device back to ST.

Try the community FAQ and see if that helps clear up any of the confusion. :thinking: Installation instructions are in point 2 of the FAQ. FAQ: I have no idea what Edge is. Is that a new developer tool? (2022)
