FYI: We have this reference in our Knowledge Base (FAQ) that is partially relevant here: Question mark "?" shown on Virtual Switch or other connected … / ActionTiles Knowledge Base / AT Support & Ideas

Login to your SmartThings IDE API webpage, check under “My Devices”, open the detail page for the Thing, and check this section, "Current States:

What values are show there please?

I’ll presume it has a value for Attribute “shock”.

So, my question is this: Does ActionTiles currently support Shock Sensors?

Capability “Shock Sensor” is relatively new, and ActionTiles does not yet support it.

Timely, though, we are about to publish a poll to ask which of the official Capabilities we should add to ActionTiles next ! (I will update this post with the link to the poll.)

In the meantime, you could modify the DTH to also claim another Capability like “Contact” or “Motion” and concurrently update the associated Attribute, or use a Universal Device Type Translator SmartApp:

[OBSOLETE] Universal Virtual Device Type and Translator

This has got to be the sickest DTH ever… The uDTH Ever wished you could turn on a presence sensor with a switch?, or maybe take a lock command and send a motion event? Basically this bad boy accepts these commands: on off open close lock unlock and can turn them into these attribute states: open closed present not present active inactive The following capabilities are presented on the command side: switch door control garage door control lock The following devices are presented on the attribute side: Contact Motion Presence Door Acceleration Illuminance Smoke Water Sound You wire up an instance of this device to two separate apps, and off you go.
