There’s a similar post where we discuss this and where I provided some extra info. Please, share with me the details of your questions about how the integration works:
ok, so, if I understand correctly, you want to build an app that will connect to other platforms and those devices can be received from any of them and you want to add them to ST, right?
If you build your own app and Cloud, the options (up to now) are Cloud-Connected integrations (ST Schema or SmartApp Connector ), however, there are some points to consider:
Your Cloud must support OAuth 2.0
You won’t be able to certify it so others can use it because only the device’s manufacturer can do it.
Therefore, you won’t be able to distribute the integration with users easily.
This is the API endpoint to install a device but it is only allowed for SmartApps.
The Schema Connector works differently and doesn’t create the device through the API.
