Is SmartThings Shield for Arduino Available Anywhere?

[Rod_Grant]

Dan,
Thanks so much for posting this. I hope that SmartThings is somehow recognizing and supporting you, as you ST_Anything code is the only reason I came on board with ST and the discontinuation of the ThingShield was making me feel like jumping ship!
I am looking to build ST into my home renovation pans, and the ability to switch relays is key to this.

I haven’t looked at the code as yet, but it will be high on my list of things to do when I have time.

Thanks again!

Hi Dan,

I am trying to integrate an old wired security system with SmartThings and found this article, but it relies on the SmartThings ThingShield, which seems pretty much officially dead.

I’ve been digging around trying to find an alternative or maybe old supply/stock on ebay but now you mention using the W5100 instead and the ST_Anything project (which incidentally is used in the article I linked) - talk about serendipity!

Would the project referenced in the link still function as intended using this hardware trade-out? How does one go about getting the SmartThings hub to talk/link to my bevy of alarm sensors if there’s no SmartThings interface in front of them?

I have one thing shield left, $50, free shipping to the 48…
PM me if interested, thanks, Mike

How do I send a PM? I can go to your profile and click on all sorts of things but I’m not seeing any ‘send X user a message’ type options. What am I missing?

[Mike_Maxwell]

pm sent…

If you can get an old ThingShield, that is definitely the simplest and most straightforward path.

If not, or if you need additional Arduinos to be connected, check out my most recent update (v2.1) to my Arduino libraries as I have just added a very low-cost Arduino/WiFi solution.

[RELEASE] ST_Anything v2.9 - Arduino/ESP8266/ESP32 to ST via ThingShield, Ethernet, or WiFi

ST_Anything allows you to integrate a custom Arduino or ESP8266 device with SmartThings by editing only 1 Arduino sketch file! No groovy programming skills are required! You simple decide what devices are attached to each pin of your Arduino, ESP8266, ESP32 and ST_Anything handles the rest for you! Numerous example sketches are included to help get you started. [UPDATE] Added ESP8266 Arduino OTA support. Update your SmartThingsESP8266WiFi library, compile your sketch, and load your ESP8266 via USB. Afterwards, you can update your ESP8266 Over The Air from the Arduino IDE. This is especially helpful for hard to reach devices. I am happy to announce the release of ST_Anything v2.5, with added support for SmartThings new Composite Device Handlers (i.e. Parent / Child DHs)! No more me…

I know this is an older thread, but just wanted to ask if anyone else is using ST with a Wemo Maker to roughly the same effect as they might with an Arduino ST Shield. I just got the Wemo Maker (Connect) app here: [RELEASE] Wemo Maker
I’ve been wanting to hook up a waterproof temp probe (for a hot tub) that could then trigger smart things to turn off a Leviton wall outlet that the hot tub is plugged into. I have a problem with my tub getting overheated (which is also a big waste of power, and annoying when I can’t get in for fear of third degree burns ) I was planning on using the shield for this, but just started playing with the Maker.
My current issue I’m trying to resolve is whether the Maker device and Smartapp alone can do this. I also want the outlet to come back on when the water temp is low enough again. At this point, I’m pretty sure I’m going to need to insert an Arduino between the temp probe and the Maker to handle the logic, then send the correct voltage values to the Maker, which will then trigger the ST routine to turn off/on the tub. I would just love to have the Shield, and eliminate the Maker from the picture. What a pity it’s been discontinued. Someone else needs to make those, and sell them on amazon. Seems like there’s good demand from everything I’ve read. In any case, I hope this all works! Thanks for all the great info and links in this thread. Super helpful.

cheers,
Jeremy

PM me if you want to buy a shield from me.

For Sale: ThingShield for SmartThings (Arduino)

@xcesmess @jec1521 @munsterlander @Brian_Murphy @Bodster I’m selling two ThingShields. $50 apiece, including shipping to the lower 48 states. Shields are used but fully functional. I’ve migrated away from SmartThings and have no use for them. PM me if interested, I’ll accept PayPal. Incidentally, I’m also selling my SmartThings zigbee devices. Two first gen motion sensors, two first gen SmartSense multis, one first gen smart power outlet and two second generation, and a Sengled Element LED light bulb. At some point I’m also going to get rid of my presence sensors (2 1st gen and 2 2nd gen) and two ST hubs (V1 and V2). PM me about any of these devices as well.

[Jeremy_Koerber]

Hey there! I’ll take one please! I’m on vacation in Mexico right now, but I can PayPal you or however you’d like to receive payment. What platform are you using these days now that you’ve away from ST?

[Jeremy_Koerber]

I’m probably just being dense due to lack of good coffee, but I can’t figure out how to PM you @dome. My email is jeremy dot Koerber at gmail dot com. This is a serious offer for one of your shields. Thanks!

[Mayhem (Professor Mayhem)]

You can use an Arduino with an XBee shield for some of the functionality that the SmartThings Shield provided. As a starting point, I have ported JRucker’s spin ZigBee HA API over to Arduino. It can be found at:

YoyodyneMonkeyWorks/DuinoZigBeeAPI

There are more details on the WiKi tab.

[gleamindemon]

i created an account here to say that i want the other shield you have for sale. i cannot send a PM because i am new but i seriously want the shield and i do have a paypal send me an email to gleamindemon at hot mail dot com

[dome]

@gleamindemon and @Jeremy_Koerber

I’ll reach out to you guys by email. Thanks!

[Jeremy_Koerber]

Thanks @dome! Standing by.

if SmartThings shields are not commercialized anymore, would it make sense to release schematics as Open Source Hardware (OSHW) ?

[bresslerz (Zachary Bressler)]

Does anyone else have a SmartThings ThingShield that they’d be willing to sell?

[doreng]

I have a SmartThings ThingShield I’m not using if anybody still needs one.

[KurtK (Kurt Kiesow)]

I’m definitely interested. How shall we proceed?

[doreng]

Sorry already sold the shield early in the week.

[KurtK (Kurt Kiesow)]

OK Thanks anyway
