Perhaps I am missing something blatantly obvious, but I cannot get my ZRC 90 to control any lights, etc. I was able to it as a device, but it does not show up as a “button” in any of the apps and I cannot figure out any way to get it to control anything or otherwise interact with the rest of my system. I am a newbie to this smart things stuff. I was able to figure out the Aeon Minimote without any problems but this ZRC has me completely stumped. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
You’ll need to use the custom device type handler which is in the first post of this thread.
If you haven’t used custom code with SmartThings before, here is the FAQ for that. It’s pretty straightforward, you’re basically going to copy the code from the first post and paste it into your own account.
The original FAQ information in this thread refers to the original smartthings architecture, which was in place through the end of 2022 and a little beyond. Custom code was written in the groovy programming language and ran in the smartthings cloud.
As of May 2023, you can no longer add new Groovy DTH‘s or smartapps to your smartthings account. So if you came here because of a link in an old forum thread, or on another site, I’m afraid the Groovy information is no longer usable.
All of this was replaced by a new architecture. Cloud to cloud integrations use the smartthings API. Hub connected devices, mostly Zigbee and zwave, now use “Edge Drivers,” written in the LUA programming language. Here’s the official announcement on those:
The process for using a custom Edge Driver in the new …
After that the device should show up as a button controller.
