As a part of the SmartThings Edge Beta, we are previewing a set of device drivers (Edge Drivers) managed by SmartThings that can be used with some of your Works with SmartThings devices. These drivers will be made available with our new Driver Sharing feature for device testing and community distri…

[image] Tim99: It would increase my productivity to have 1 command for B1-B4. I definitely couldn’t agree more. Again, this is another thing with vague plans. I don’t know what the exact simplification will end up being, but some more ergonomics would be nice. I will just point out that you…

[image] psbarrett: it can take up to 12 hours before every single hub pulls the update That’s great to hear. I didn’t wait more than a few hours while testing it and then I deleted the channel and started over before sharing it with anyone which explains why I thought it wasn’t working…

[image] TAustin: Just FYI, you don’t have to use channels. If you want to work around those problems for now, just use vanilla package and install cli commands and choose ‘self-publish’ when it prompts you. smartthings edge:drivers:package <projectdir> smartthings edge:drivers:install -H <hubid>…

[image] erickv: Check if this helps = ) Yes, I referenced that in my post. My comment was that a driver-level preferences mechansim would also be useful (the topic you referenced is done at device-level, if I understand correctly)

[image] TAustin: driver -level preferences mechansim Something like dynamic profile/metadata support? I believe this kind of model-based preference can be handled via subdrivers . If you have a specific use case for this inquiry, share it below to see if we can figure something out = )

[image] erickv: If you have a specific use case for this inquiry, share it below to see if we can figure something out = ) My driver needs to be configured with an IP address of a physical device. The device doesn’t support any kind of discovery, and I can’t modify it. The device is actuall…
