Here is the smartthings tutorial on edge drivers.
If you have a v2, v3 or aeotec hub with the latest firmware they will work fine.
You just have to enroll in smartthings channel or from other shared Channel and install the driver you are going to use on your hub when you have the device to install it.
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 distribution of Hub Connected devices. Previously, sharing Groovy Device Type Handlers (DTHs) required end-users to copy and paste the code for each individual device into their accounts. Now developers and users can create, share, and consume drivers outside of the SmartThings App with a unique URL.
Official smartthings drivers will also be installed gradually until the transition is completed as reported in this post. Also here you can follow the discussions on the news of the transition
Starting on Tuesday, April 26, new devices onboarded to the SmartThings platform will begin to be backed by Edge (Lua-based) drivers. Note, this transition marks the start of a gradual process that will initially include a small number of devices but will expand to cover more over the coming months. This is an exciting announcement, which will be followed up by many more in the upcoming months as we complete the transition away from Groovy DTHs.
In addition to support for existing hub-connected device protocols (e.g., Zigbee, Z-Wave, LAN), SmartThings Edge will also enable Matter devices to be introduced to the ecosystem as soon as the Matter standard is finalized later this year. The immediate benefit of the shift from cloud-dependent to local control means users of Zigbee, Z-Wave, and L…
