I want to jump in near the top with a few points:
-
Edge is in beta. Consider whether participating in the beta is appropriate for your willingness/ability to troubleshoot issues.
-
Is your device currently using a stock DTH? ST is working to transition those to Edge. Consider waiting for the official driver, which will be supported by ST staff. The vast majority of zigbee and z-wave devices will be supported by stock drivers, which will be maintained by ST staff.
-
Is your device currently running local with a stock DTH? If so, you probably don’t have anything to gain from moving to Edge before the official transition.
-
Is your device a unicorn that has never functioned properly with the stock DTHs and always required custom code? These are the situations where the community will need to fill the gap. Consider discussing with other users in the existing device topic to see if anyone is willing to take the lead on driver development. It’s very difficult to develop drivers for complicated/non-standard devices if you don’t own one to test on.
