Life after the IDE: Questions and Answers

Question: how do you get the manufacturer and model information without the IDE?

Answer: there are actually a few different methods.

As of August 2023, this information is available in the new official web interfaced, on the “advanced” page:

my.smartthings.com/advanced

Or you can use one of the following methods:

a) You can temporarily assign the device to one of the utility drivers that displays it, then assign it back to the regular driver. Mariano’s zwave thing for zwave devices or Zigbee thing for Zigbee devices will both do this. You should be able to find both in his channel which is linked at the end of the first post in the following thread.

b) You can query the CLI.

c) You can use a community-created web-based utility like API +
