[OBSOLETE] Wink Relay - Custom SmartThings Integration

[mikeyut3]

@joshua_lyon

Are you trying to control your Wink Relay while using the new Samsung SmartThings mobile app on your phone?

Yes. Can I “add” the relay somehow as a device on my SmartThings ios app?

[joshua_lyon (Josh, SharpTools.io Dashboard)]

Yes. That’s precisely what this integration does. Adds the Wink Relay as a ‘Thing’ within SmartThings so you can control it, react to button presses, and automate it.

Steps are in the first post. It requires a SmartThings hub.

Adds the Wink Relay as a ‘Thing’

And i can do this simply through the ios app? Thx!!

[joshua_lyon (Josh, SharpTools.io Dashboard)]

I can’t tell if I’m missing some nuance to the question… yes, this integration is specifically designed to add the Wink Relay as a ‘Thing’ in SmartThings (whether it’s the iOS / Android version of the SmartThings mobile app doesn’t matter).

I don’t know if I’d go so far as to say “simply”. The steps are in the first post and involves rooting the relay, installing a custom APK, then installing a custom SmartApp and device handlers in the SmartThings IDE, then running through the device discovery in the newly installed SmartApp in the SmartThings Mobile app.

Again, this requires a SmartThings Hub. I noticed in some of your previous posts that you mentioned that you didn’t have a hub but were planning on getting one.

@joshua_lyon

simply

Haha. I did all that - the “hard” part! I just need to add it to ios!!

I think I understand. I didnt realize I had to cut and paste the code

[mikeyut3]

Got it working! Yeah!

3 (probably dumb) question:

1. Can I change the icon in the Smartthings app from a socket plug to something else?

2. How do I get switch 2 (on both the physical device and the app) to control something else (as only switch 1 is hardwired)? And can switch 2 control anything?

3. My motion sensor section (in the Smartthings app) has a crossed out cloud in it (see pic). Should it be this way or does it do anything?

   

Thx! This is great!!

Did I kill this thread?!

So I went through all the steps and was so excited, but after discovery the smart app processes and receives an error. Please help! Thank you!

• Can I change the icon in the Smartthings app from a socket plug to something else?

It’s defined by the ocfDeviceType definition in the device handler if I remember correctly. Other than changing that property in the code (which has other implications), I don’t know if SmartThings provides the capability to change the icon. In the classic app, you could override icons… but I don’t use the mobile apps, so I can’t speak to it - for some reason I feel like I’ve seen complaints of this feature not existing in the new app though.

• How do I get switch 2 (on both the physical device and the app) to control something else (as only switch 1 is hardwired)? And can switch 2 control anything?

It’s mentioned several times in the thread above.

@mikeyut3

Also mentioned in the thread above. The proximity value is not mapped to motion currently.

I just cant find it given 600+ pages here

Hello, just seeing if anyone else had this issue and how to fix

@Abhijeet_Ghosh

First, create 2 virtual switches (switch 1 and switch 2) per relay. In the “smart lighting” smartapp in the lights and switches category, press create new automation, set the switch to control as wink relay switch 1, set what to do to mirror behavior, and select your second switch as virtual switch 1. DO NOT CHANGE THE NAME, it has a bug! Do the again with virtual switch 1 as the main switch and wink relay switch 1 as the second switch. Then do all this for wink relay switch 2 and virtual switch 2. Hope that helps!

ok i understand that i need to make this function with automations which i am trying to do from the smartthings app…but i cannot seem to get anything in automations to just select switch 2…it only gives me the option to say “if” virtual switch (which i created) “then” - in control devices it just gives me “wink relay” - i cannot seem to figure out how to get my virtual switch to only automate to wink switch 2 (i do not see switch to anywhere)

[mikeyut3]

i am stuck in this same place…any solution? thx!!!

@mikeyut3 see this
[BETA] Wink Relay - Custom SmartThings Integration

or use the smart lighting app vs the automations tab

[Dillion]

Hello! Following up, I hope someone can help! Thanks!!

[mikeyut3]

This is where I am confused. I only see my wink relay. This says “ You should see the parent object WINK-RELAY and two switch objects (Switch-1) and (Switch-2)”. I dont see these objects…

My wink device knows that there are 2 switches but i dont have anything as individual “objects”. See attached photo from smartthings app when i click on the wink relay

@mikeyut3 If you delete the wink relay, modify the driver as shown in my previous message, and re-add the wink relay, they will pop up as individual devices. In the smart lighting smartapp, they also show as individual devices. If you prefer not to delete your devices, then create 2 virtual switches, go into the smart lighting smartapp (not the automations tab), mirror the devices in both directions (two automations), and click save. Then, you will have two virtual switches that work exactly like the child switches in the wink relay.

[Abhijeet_Ghosh (Anonymous)]

@Dillion Could you delete the relay, delete the app, reinstall the smartapp, and re-try adding the wink relay?

[mikeyut3]

Ok will try that now! Will report back…
