Hi everyone! I’m just starting out In home automation. I have a ST starter kit which includes the hub, and an echo. I am convinced I read somewhere that I could control my OSRAM Lightify surface lights through ST, but so far I can’t figure out how to without buying the Osram hub
Some community members have it working with custom code. See the following thread:
There you go…hoping this works for you.

If you haven’t used custom code before, it’s pretty straightforward. Basically you will copy the author’s code and paste it into your own account. Here’s the FAQ that explains that process
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 …
Ask any follow-up questions in the first link I just gave you, and hopefully someone there will be able to answer them.
