Back in the good old days, many of use were using Monoprice open/close sensors as smoke detectors, moisture, sensors, security system, etc. These open/close sensors had a pair of contacts internally that wires can be attached to, and then used, along with the modified DTH, for other purposes. I use them as moisture sensors, smoke detectors, and security system arm/disarm detection. This is the DTH that was used.
Hold tight. ST will add this officially to the “Zwave Sensor” driver (hopefully soon) as it is a native ST local dth currently which would also include the identical Utilitec model
Just wanted to bump this in the event someone is looking for a new zwave driver. I couldn’t figure out where to start with development so I am throwing in the towel.
@Brad_ST can currently sold model (i bought it like 8 months ago, and it’s the only model being sold now) of First Alert Smoke Detector fingerprint be added to Z-wave Smoke Detector driver
I’m totally new in this whole Smartthings/Edge/DTH/API … world so please don’t mind if my question seems silly. I’ve chosen this topic since it seems like most active and relevant. Please feel free to move it if not appropriate
First, I’m having problem understanding the differences between different DTH’s. As I understood, if I can add device without adding any DTH, it means it’s officially supported by Smartthings and it has “stock DTH”, correct? Then there are generic/universal DTH that has to be added, like zigbee switch/dimmer or for Aqara. Finally there are custom DTH aiimed for a specific device, like RBoy’s DTH for Z-TMR3?
I was just about to purchase RBoy’s custom DTH for 4 of my Z-TMR3’s but I haven’t seen any commitment from their side for re-writing the code for Edge drivers. Once Edge will be fully functional, will custom DTH simply stop working? And if author or someone else doesn’t transfer to Edge driver, it won’t be able to use anymore? I wouldn’t like to pay for something I will be able to use only for a year or so!
Yes when groovy goes away all DTHs stip working. Even the default ones provided by SmartThings. But AFAIK, SmartThings already has an edge driver replacement for most of the default DTHs already… The folks on this thread are making fast progress for other common devices.
Thanks for the clarification! In the meantime I had tome learning to do … how to change device type in Groovy IDE and differentiate between stock (ST default) and custom (either generic or for specific device) DTH.
But I’m aware now that DTH’s are gonna get retired, and it is to be replaced with Edge drivers!
Any roadmap on when will Edge final be released? Will there be any grace period in which DTH’s will still be working?
I would like to request a driver for the heatit z-dim. I cannot post any dth since it is made by rboy apps. I really like that this device functions as a dimmer and also a scene controller.
I’m not sure where to post this so please move if needed.
The stock z-wave fan DTH has capabilities to raiseFanSpeed and lowerFanSpeed.
The stock z-wave fan edge driver does not have these capabilities. Would it be possible to add or these capabilities or create a new edge driver with them? (I use the raise and lower speed in sharptools rule engine for button presses on a button)
The stock z-wave fan controller DTH exposed raiseFanSpeed and lowerFanSpeed to 3rd party apps like Sharptools.
Is it possible to add these capabilities to the z-wave fan controller edge driver?
Would someone be willing to add them?
