Hi all
Im pretty new to Smarththings and also Zemismart devices.
I have the following 2 blind motors, one includes a zigbee hub but both are zigbee controlled.
I have added the device handler to Smartthings IDE, but cannot work out how to connect either of them 
Hi Tony,
I’m sorry that I can’t help but I’m hoping by adding a reply to your thread it helps push it to the top of the forum, as I’d like to buy some of these blind motors in the future and am hoping someone can shed some light on how to add them successfully to smartthings.
If you figure it out could you please let me know.
Cheers
I got this to work with smartthings. Did you set the limits before you paired it?
@Shimmyuk @Gtwizzy Hi both, have you managed to get your blinds connected to Smartthings yet? i have just received a ZigBee version and having no luck, hoping you may be able to share some pointers. thanks.
Hey MikeyD
Sorry for the late reply I found the device handlers online via Zemismart’s help page on their website. They still look to be exactly the same as the ones posted here. However I did not connect them via any hub I just installed the device handler through the IDE put the devices into pairing mode and did a scan for nearby and they showed up.
There’s still a few quirks with them like the slider for the “shade percentage” is inverted. Meaning it shows that 100% dark is actually 100% open lol but for now they do the job. I mostly use them via voice command in Google (found the best way to do this was to set up a Scene for open and closed and then set a google home routine using a voice trigger for each state).
Or I operate them via the included remotes that I have stuck on the wall right next to them.
I have got one of these recently. Found the D/H on Zemismarts website and found a video on how to set the limits however the limits never save and the app never updates the blinds correct position. Its always showing as opening or closing and never just open or closed, even when its stopped.
I had previously had some Aqara blinds working very well, no issues at all. Something in ST then changed as they all dropped off. ST support said they could not help as they were unsupported devices. That may be but the were working brilliantly
Anyone able to help with these zemismart blinds?
Thanks
I have the zemismart zigbee blind motor. When I try to install in smartthings it comes up as zigbee thing on the app. I tried to update the DTH on the IDE but there is no zigbee id created so I can communicate with it to update the DTH. Does anybody have any idea how to properly pair it?
what device handler was assigned to it in IDE when you paired it?
Showed up as place holder
That would be an Edge driver then and you would be unable to use a groovy device handler with it. In other words, you can not change it in IDE. Edge drivers are managed in the app.
Yes, I tried to change the edge driver in the app. I can search for it and find “zigbee window treatment” but when I select to use the driver, it just spins and tells me to check my network connection. I have no network issues, and everything is running ok on my network.
how many channels have you subscribed to? you can find that answer by opening your hub in the app, clicking on the 3 dots in the upper right of the screen and selecting Driver and scrolling to the bottom
I have TAustin shared projects and SmartThings Drivers (Beta). Strange thing just happened when I tried to pair the blind motor again. I now see a vritual hub in the app, and it gives me the option to get the SmartThings Drivers (Beta) so I enrolled the Virtual Hub. Then I select available drivers and it gives me the the option to install another “Zigbee Window treatment” driver but it gives me an error. “BadRequestError: Hub (Virtual Hub) does not support edge drivers”
I have no clue where the virtual hub came from. But Edge drivers only run on physical hubs. You may NOT want to delete that virtual hub until you speak with someone with more knowledge about it.

The main smartthings hub still not letting me install the driver for the blind. Keeps telling me the same “check your network connections”. “Make sure your phone has a network connection”.
My phone is connected on the same network as the hub.
only suggestion I can offer would be to reboot the hub in IDE.
I think I figured it out how to pair it properly. I had to remove the “Zigbee thing” driver and re-pair the blind motor, this time it gave me a zigbee id and I can change the DTH.
The only virtual hubs I have seen are created in the IDE when using the IDE simulator.
The simulated devices were housed in that virtual hub.
When you uninstalled the devices the virtual hub was deleted, sometimes you had to delete it manually.
I don’t know if this will be the case, I don’t know the steps you did in IDE
Thank you for the info. Yes, I was trying the simulator and I guess I forgot about it. I deleted in the app.
@Mariano_Colmenarejo is right about the virtual Hub, I haven’t seen another tool creating one, only the simulator.
About the device being paired to “Zigbee Thing”, it’s because it is not supported by any driver installed, if you enrolled your Hub in the SmartThings Driver Beta channel, it doesn’t mean it installed all the drivers there, you need to install the ones you need.
BUT, if your device didn’t have a stock DTH, it won’t be included in one of those Drivers.
