My SmartThings for Advanced Users (SmartThings Advanced Web App)

An Edge driver has to be on your hub in order to switch drivers. That happens one of four ways:

  • You install a new device and the production driver is downloaded and used
  • During the ST migration, a production driver is downloaded and your device is converted
  • You subscribe to the beta drivers channel and install a driver yourself
  • You subscribe to a community driver channel and install a driver yourself

So supposing you manually installed a driver, it would theoretically be in the drop down list of drivers that a device could be switched to. Now, that being said, there may be something in the web app that won’t let you select a new driver for a device that is using a DTH or even if you can, it might fail trying to switch over. Worth a try I suppose, but I don’t have any devices left on DTH to test out whether it would work or not.

In the ST API Browser+, you can see the fingerprints a driver supports.
