New to Smartthings, help needed

[aad4321]

Hello,

I am new to smartthings but looking for some help on how to get started with some custom applications, etc. I really dont know the first step to put this code i am discovering into place.

I see mention of Core but I dont know the first thing to enable this?

I have a Zwave switch and I want to enable the doubletap feature. How do i apply this code?

[RELEASE CANDIDATE] Jasco/GE Z-Wave Plus On/Off Switch (14291) With Double-Tap and Associations

I just created a DTH for the new GE Z-Wave Plus On/Off Switches. Features included: Option to change the indicator status from the main page Commands to change the indicator status (useful for changing from CoRE) Option to change the inverted setting from the main page Commands to change the inverted setting (useful for changing from CoRE) Ability to add associations to groups 2 and 3 from the configuration page Exposes the double-tap feature of the switch as a button (useful for triggering events in CoRE)

Lastly I am interested in roku virtual buttons to possibly have alexa turn on or launch apps? but dont know the first thing to do.

[RELEASE] Roku Virtual Buttons

This SmartApp creates virtual button devices for the apps installed on your Roku device. I'm using this with a Google Home to switch inputs on my TCL Roku TV, for example "OK Google, switch to the xbox" triggers IFTTT to press the "Roku: Game console" button. Requirements: • SmartThings "Momentary Button Tile" devicetype (from Templates in the IDE) • Roku manager SmartApp from MadMouse: https://github.com/MadMouse/SmartThings/blob/master/RokuManager/RokuConnect.groovy • My modified Roku device type (until MadMouse merges my change): https://github.com/c99koder/SmartThings/blob/master/devicetypes/madmouse/roku.src/roku.groovy • Roku virtual buttons SmartApp: https://github.com/c99koder/SmartThings/blob/master/smartapps/c99koder/roku-virtual-buttons.src/roku-virtual-buttons.groovy Instr…

Core or WebCore is what you need. I think everyone is going to WebCore. See the introductory video here then come back for questions:

webCoRE Introductory Video

As requested by a member of ST staff, I produced this video to introduce everyone to webCoRE and to show the power of what it can do to Senior ST Management. All praise goes to @ady624 for making this video possible, without webCoRE there could be no webCoRE video!! This is my first ever attempt at recording and editing a proper YouTube clip, so go easy on me :grinning: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jgXA_rv2-_8 Edit: Follow up installation walkthrough here:

FAQ: An Overview of Using Custom Code in SmartThings

So you're new to SmartThings, you asked a question, and someone suggested "custom code" as an answer.

What does that mean, how hard is it to do, and what's the difference between a "SmartApp" and a "Device Type Handler"? (Note: the official terminology has changed a couple of times.
