I get that but wasn’t it supposed to end last September, it’s all still working so long after the cut off…
Thanks for that, it looks like it might be with us for quite a few months yet then.
@Paulih here is the post with good instructions for mqtt setup
Today I tried re-installing the device handler on a new smartthings-station (hub) I bought and found there is no way to re-install as the ability to create a new groovy-type device (or any device) from the groovy IDE has been removed at some point in the past, and even creating a new virtual edge device and then changing it using the IDE to the right DH does not work.
According to ST the Groovy IDE is going to be deprecated this month, and with it sadly this excellent automation may be lost forever which is very sad.
I wish I had time to learn how to program new edge drivers but unfortunately I don’t…
If there are still any hackers out there using this automation - now is your time to shine by creating a new Edge driver that connects to cjcharles’s wemo interface… it should likely not be so complex as at least the basic functionality can be achieved through HTTP commands…
Yes, there is some sample code that should get esp8266 devices (wemos being one) into an edge driver very easily, so would be quick to do if you know how.
But it’s also working even better on hubitat than it ever worked on ST, with only a few minutes set up time.
So today I was digging in my junk/deals room and came across a big tote full of Visonic PowerMAX Alarm panels and sensors. Talk about a time capsule!
Hi,
Is this integration still working? I performed a factory reset on my router on the 23rd of July and I’m unable to set\unset the alarm using Smart things. It’s been working fine since 2020.
I suspect it might be the IP within the groovy ide but I can’t access it to check what IP it was set to.
I’ve restored a backup of the router config with what I believe the DHCP reservations are but still no luck.
Any idea on how to retrieve the IP from the DTH code?
Nope all gone now. In fact they shut down loads last week, I had loads of smart gadgets go off line and had to find new Edge drivers.
The only thing that is great is all the child devices created by this integration still work so I can use my Visonic PIRs as motion sensors to brings lights on.
Ah, thanks for the reply. I’ve been pulling my hair out thinking I’m setting the wrong IP for the ST hub on the Wemos. I can also see the child devices just the alarm can’t be armed\disarmed via ST anymore, though it says that Visonic is connected. Are you able to set the alarm via ST still?
I had a similar setup for the lights. If ring detects motion after sunset and the front door is opened (Visonic sensor) then turn on the external and internal passage lights (both sonoff). It was so easy to do in the ST app. I liked the ability to remotely set the alarm or update the status in the app if it was enabled or disabled via the key fob.
Where are you getting the edge drivers from? I really don’t want to spend time and money on a new platform\hub if it can be avoided as Hass is just way to cumbersome and lacks the easy UI that ST has.
Anyone got any recommendations for Hubitat or another platform?
You wont be able to control the alarm now & Hubitat would be your only current option but not a route I’m taking.
What Edge drivers do you need? Most of my smart devices were Xiaomi/Aqara there were none a year ago but having them all stop working last week I discovered they have all been developed now, it took me 2 days to sort all the drivers out… I have a lot.
I’ll just list the devices and see if you have any that I may use:
ONVIF Cameras
Visonic Alarm Panel bridge
HoneyWell EvoHome International for the Smart Thermostats on radiators
GeoTec IHD for energy montioring
I think the below will be ok but not tested them
Ring Doorbell
Sonoff Smart switches for lighting
TUYA \Smart Life smoke alarms
Tapo P110 smart plugs
Gree AC Units
I was going to buy Tuya Wifi Humidity\Temperature sensors to put the air con units into dry mode to keep relative humidity below 65% but then I read they aren’t really supported by ST.
I’m afraid I don’t have those devices, I covered them by googling “[device name] smartthing edge driver”
It took me two days to sort, I just hope Samsung don’t mess with it for a while no because I don’t want to go through this for a while now.
Everything works smoothly on Hubitat and I think is a far superior platform (and super stable compared to HASS/ST), Im very glad I jumpted ship when I did, and everything that used to be possible is working flawlessly now as many developers from here moved there (myself included). For the sake of $100 its easily worth it to avoid future risk and time wasted, since every driver from here is now on there.
Sad day today when finally all Groovy drivers were shut down and with them my favourite alarm driver 
I do hope someone will build a new Edge driver for this alarm using the existing wemo interface @cjcharles developed…
For those looking for some alternative, I’ve had some success with the WebRequestor driver, configuring one request for arm, another disarm, and yet another for status… Although the latter is kind of pointless without the ability to poll the wemo interface every few seconds or so and tying that to an alarm event…
Sample URL for Arm: GET:http://192.168.1.XXX:80/armaway
Sample URL for Disarm:
GET:http://192.168.1.XXX:80/disarm
Note the WebRequestor doesnt seem to support BasicAuth (password) so you’ll have to remove the password from the wemo interface… or find a way to do it…
Thank you for this I was playing with something similar today without success, but I thought there must be a simple way to send requests just like you can with the ESP8266 dashboard. I will have play with this tomorrow.
I also hoped I could find some sort of Android App that can operate like the ESP8266 dashboard, with big button to arm and disarm. For now I have put a shortcut on my Android homescreen to the ESP8266 dashboard.
The wemos has mqtt on it too, surely ST supports mqtt interfaces?
The same developer has an mqtt driver, I will also look at this in the morning but this is all a big learning curve for me, I did see the mqtt setting in the dashboard earlier today when I was playing.
I could not wait and tried the WebRequestor and was able to armhome, armway and disarm.
We have to be able to work out a simple controller from all this.
Yes, was looking at MQTT as well, but I believe that requires some MQTT broker and running it on another computer… which I find a bit too much… not sure if the ST hub itself can act as a broker?
Oh insane, if you can’t use ST hub as a broker! Can you even use it to receive local messages if you do have a standalone broker? Frustratingly inflexible!
