Life after the IDE: Questions and Answers

With the transition to the new architecture, the IDE is in the process of being discontinued. Some features are already gone. Any device using new architecture, such as those using edge drivers, will just show up as “placeholder“ and the information will be incomplete or even inaccurate. (For example, it will probably say that all devices showing “placeholder“ are in the cloud, where in fact all edge drivers run local.) Don’t try to use the IDE to change anything that says placeholder: you might even break the integration altogether. http://my.smartthings.com is the new official webpage access to your smartthings account. At first that page was pretty limited, but as of 29 June 2023 Samsung has now added a number of new “advanced” features to that page, making it much more like the old …

CLI: How to Install and Use

The IDE is part of the old pre-2022 SmartThings architecture. It does not display accurate information for devices which are using Edge Drivers, which are part of the new architecture. You can get some equivalent information by using the CLI (command level interface), a developer tool which is part of the new architecture. This information includes device IDs and event logs. Using it is quite different than using the IDE. The IDE was just a webpage with information about your account. The CLI is a program that you have to download to a computer and then run. (Those like myself who just use a tablet are currently out of luck. ) @Mariano_Colmenarejo , a community developer, has written up instructions for how to download and use the CLI on a windows pc.

SmartThings API Browser+ ... Now Available to All

NOTICE!!: SmartThings has now released its own equivalent of this app here, so you may prefer to use that instead. I have a browser-based web app that provides a point-and-click way to explore most of the SmartThings API. For the non-technical, this gives you access to an important SmartThings resource without having to learn tools like Postman, curl, or the CLI. You don’t even need a computer: a tablet or even smartphone can be used. For the more technically inclined, it provides much faster and more convenient access to those commonly-accessed CLI commands. Although I originally thought of it as a portal for the non-technical, I’ve actually found it quite useful to use during my own development activities. This is not intended as a replacement or ‘competitor’ to the CLI, mysmart…
