Plant Link Intergration

[Cepheidstomer]

I’m unsure of a way through the app.

If you have access to a computer (or I suppose through your phone’s browser) you can navigate to:

https://graph.api.smartthings.com/device/list

Logging in with your ST account, you can view the devices on your hub. If you click a device and view its page, you’ll see an “Edit” button at the bottom left. This lets you update some properties. In this case it’s the "Type* " that needs to change. In the drop down there should be two plant link related handlers, “Plant Link” and “PlantLink”. For me, this was set to “Plant Link” by default, and changing to the “PlantLink” allowed the connector to work without the ‘unexpected error’

I tried to grab some screenshots, hopefully it helps:

Edit: Here’s the post that lead me to this change that fixed this issue for me

PlantLink Connection problem

Here’s a note for anyone having trouble installing the Smart App. I paired a couple of sensors with my ST hub, and they were reporting data, so I knew they’re working. I also created a PlantLink account, but did not add a hub as I have no intention of using it. But, when I tried to install the Smart App, at the point where you select the sensors I did that, but tapping on Done generated the red bar of death and “An unexpected error occurred.” I was unable to complete the install of the Smart App. The problem turned out to be the device type. For some reason they paired using the “PlantLink Direct Sensor” type and not the official “PlantLink” type. Once I changed that in the IDE I was able to get the Smart App to install.
