I just purchased and setup 2 new devices that don’t seem to be supported by SmartThings.
- C by GE light swtich (non neutral wire) - works with Alexa!
- Monster Digit (led lights)
Has anyone else had success in integrating these into Smartthings?

C by GE use a radio that SmartThings does not, so no direct integration is possible.
You can get partial Integration by Using Alexa routines as an intermediary.
as long as you live in a region where Alexa routines are available, You can just use the free Amazon Alexa app as an intermediary if you like. The device will show up when you go to create an Alexa routine (not a SmartThings routine) so you can turn it on and off that way.
You need to create a simulated switch to trigger the routine from SmartThings. See the FAQ:
FAQ: Can I trigger an Echo Action without Speaking to It?
Unfortunately, this is only a one-way Integration. You can get the C by GE switch to turn on or off from SmartThings. But if someone turns on the switch at the wall, smartthings won’t know about it.
If you really want smartthings integration, I would consider returning that device and getting one that does have integration. There are lots of switches to choose from.
Meross makes good quality inexpensive Wi-Fi Switches that don’t require a SmartThings Hub and have an official Integration.
