Keen Smart Home Vents

Hi Christopher,

Just by adding the Keen Home hub to ST, it becomes a de facto zigbee repeater. No device handler is required to do so, it is just a generic device then. I’ve done it myself and I haven’t had any disconnected
smart vents since then. My house is around 2700 sqf…

Here are the instructions to do it:

Hi,

You can add a Smart Bridge as a repeater to SmartThings by going into the smart things app and adding it as a generic zigbee device:

  • Plug smart bridge into power but not ethernet (if you’ve already plugged it into ethernet, you can reset it by holding down the button on the bottom for 5 seconds).
  • In the ST app, connect new device
  • Hit “connect now”

You should see the bridge as a generic device
Best,
Will

P.S. BTW, I have 2 extra smart Keen Home bridges to sell if anybody is interested…Just PM me about them.
