Maybe, but I think it would be overkill. Although nobody has said so officially, it seems very likely That Meross will add matter support, since they already work locally with HomeKit. So smartthings should eventually be able to bring them in locally through matter for those who have a hub. We will have to see, but I think that’s going to be the easiest if you can be patient for another couple months.
But after opening one of my bulbs, this is all I get. Am I missing something?
When I added your edge driver, all of my lifX bulbs showed up new in an unassigned room. But they are also still showing in my other rooms that I originally had them in. Is there some sort of way I have to get rid of the duplicates?
Try requesting a routine to turn the bulb on and to a specific dimmer and color (like when another light turns on, turn this bulb on to 44% brightness red color), it might help.
Yes, of course I’m not in a big hurry, it’s just a “nice-to-have”. TP-Link is in almost the same position, in terms of Matter commitment I think. As I said, I only suggested it because of what I saw barry accomplish.
Understood—there’s been some amazing work done by the community with Edge Drivers.
That said, Meross already has HomeKit-compatible devices in all their model lines. And it looks like that’s a pretty easy architecture to clone for matter-compatibility. TPLink Kasa is in a different position—they just added their first HomeKit-compatible smartplug a few months ago. So I would expect Meross to get to Matter compatibility first, but we will see.
I currently have a virtual “Momentary Switch Normally On” DTH, and can’t find one for edge. There are plenty of ‘normally off’ momentary switches, but those do not work for me. Does one exist already?

Having the device’s fingerprint would be super important for a developer to know. Can Hubitat provide that? If not, there’s an Edge driver by @Mariano_Colmenarejo called Zigbee Thing that provides all those details that you can install and use to get a ton of device details:
What I provided above came from Hubitat.
EDIT: Actually i can get the debug logs which provides a lot more detail.
I’ll have to do that from my laptop.
I provided similar in the past and Mariano was able to use it to add support for other devices that were problematic (Ikea bulbs in particular).
I have Mariano’s Zigbee Thing Mc installed but not sure how to use it when the device refuses to connect to my SmartThings hub.
This fingerprints are not in stock driver then if smartthings enable generics devices in the production drivers It will work as generic switch-level profile
Now You can install Z-Wave Switch driver from smartthings beta channel in your Hub, unistall device and reinstall It with search nerby from app, to try if device works
Has anyone created a simulated presence sensor to track (iPhone) presence state?
Since the new app arrived, I have been using this smartapp for that purpose and just realized it will be one of the casualties.
If ST would just add back the phone as a visible device in the app this would not be needed (for my cases anyway), but since they’ve had years to do that I don’t holdout much hope. FWIW, my primary use case is a quick check to see when the mobile presense detect is broken which is about 30% of the time. Robust iPhone presence is another item I’ve long ago given up hope for.
If you just want to use your iPhone presence, you may be able to use HomeKit and a device that is visible to both systems as a proxy. Here’s the how to for that method:
