[NEEDS UPDATING] REST Web Service SmartApp and Power/Energy Metering

Without being too snarky and nothing personal intended because this is a statement of my general bewilderment… Why is it that folks think it should only take “several days” to learn how to do incredibly powerful and complex stuff with SmartThings??? :confused: I’ve been around here for 5 years and cannot guarantee an answer to any development question; there is no “writing SmartApps for Dummies” book, and I seriously think that a college class for ST would be 2 full semesters… Or at least a $5,000 to $10,000 intensive 2 week session like corporate trainers provide for SQL Server Reporting Services (just one module…)…

(end rant, but I hope you understand the point… Thus stuff takes a lot of time a trial and error to grasp).


Quickest Option:

Why not try the new API, as it gets all the Groovy nonsense out of the picture…?
