Raspberry Pi 3 and smartthings

[JDRoberts]

@sam_alian

Hello Support,

I would like to integrate raspberry pi 3 with smartthings …anyone knows about smartapps that works ?

thanks

This isn’t a support forum– – it’s a community forum, where individual customers share their projects and questions for comment by other customers.

And There isn’t any official integration between SmartThings and a raspberry pi.

However, as @rontalley mentioned, there are many community members who are using raspberry pi with SmartThings in many different ways. It depends on specifically what you’re trying to accomplish.

For example, the following thread is a project report on how to use SmartThings to control relays attached to a raspberry pi

[NEEDS UPDATING] Raspberry Pi Relay Controller (WebIOPi)

Hey all, UPDATE: I have added functionality to ensure that changes made to WebIOPi outside of SmartThings are picked up. Please uninstall your current version by removing all references to your relays, then deleting the relays. Upgrade, and re-add them. It’s a much better experience this time I wanted a device type to control raspberry Pi relays from SmartThings. I couldn’t find anything out there already, so this project was born. Basically, we are going to set up our Pi with a HTTP REST service which is capable of turning on and off relays which can be connected to just about anything. Then we’ll add a device type which acts as a switch which is able to turn the relay on and off in SmartThings. You can then use this device in any SmartApp which uses switches. This is a very ‘happy pa…

And this has a similar purpose, allowing SmartThings to control GPIO on a raspberry pi

[OBSOLETE] Raspberry Pi Device Type

Update: See the Raspberry Pi Device Type & BerryIO post. I’ve created a device type for the Raspberry Pi that utilizes WebIOPi as a REST endpoint for SmartThings to communicate with. As of right now, I’ve only gathered the Raspberry Pi internal sensor readings but the GPIO can easily be added later! Please take a look and let me know if you have any suggestions or feedback.

While this thread is using a raspberry pi for IR control of audiovisual devices.

Raspberry Pi + SmartThings + Amazon Echo (Alexa) + Harmony Hub + Harmony API server + HTTP Button Creator

Materials: Raspberry Pi 1 (B+) SmartThings Hub V2 Amazon Echo (Dot) Harmony Hub Home Control Software: NodeJS for Raspberry Pi - http://thisdavej.com/beginners-guide-to-installing-node-js-on-a-raspberry-pi/ Harmony API Server - https://github.com/maddox/harmony-api HTTP Virtual Switch (Modified) - [Released] Virtual HTTP Switch/Button Creator. IMPORTANT Use this Device Handler to get an On/Off switch instead of a Push button. http://pastebin.com/bMg6YzDH It should be pretty straightforward once you’ve setup all the software above to create Virtual Switches pointing to your Raspberry Pi’s Harmony API server. These Virtual Switches can then be included in your Amazon Echo “Smart Home” devices for control. You’ll be able to say: “Alexa, turn on Mute” to mute your TV or AV equipment …

Quite a few project reports have used a raspberry pi as a “man in the middle” between SmartThings and some other protocol.

You can just search the forum for “raspberry” or check the project reports on the quick browse lists in the community – created wiki.

So the short answer is that there is no official integration, or universal integration. But there are a number of individual community members who have used a raspberry pi for different projects, and many have posted project reports about what they have done that you might find of interest.
