If you are using a custom device handler, or can work with a copy of a standard handler, then yes it can be done if you have set up the CLI.

That was the requirement John Constantelo had for his handler for a Xiaomi/Lumi sensor:

Another question for developers. Code for default tile/value

Capabilities have their own presentations that define how they look when they are used as the status on the dashboard tile, as the action on the dashboard tile, as tiles on the detail pages, and in automations. You don’t need to worry about that here as that is already defined. What you need to work with is the device config, which says which capabilities are to be used in the dashboard, details page and automations for anything using your device handler, and sometimes in what order. This device config is combined with the info in the capability presentations, and probably some other fluff, to create a device presentation. Prerequisites: The UUID for your device handler as installed in your IDE. It is in the URL. The CLI installed. Let’s call it ‘st’. First you need to generate a de…

Indeed, new version. I updated it, and removed device and now i have hard time adding it back
Nothing to do with handler tho

EDIT: Managed to pair it now, but it didnt change it, but now my history tab on smartthings app just shows “NaNLux” ? Even tho, it shows correct lux, just history is screwed ?

In API Event List i can see correct lux information.

I had a terrible time pairing four of these with SmartThings originally. It took 3-4 attempts for each device. They are wonky devices.

I’ve since removed 2 from SmartThings and moved them to Hubitat. The instructions over there were a bit of a dance (press, double-click, wait) in terms of how to pair it, but both times the devices paired the first time I tried. Try following steps 2-5 here (where “pair the device” is putting SmartThings into discovery mode, aka “Scan Nearby” in the new app).
