Samsung Connect Home/SmartThings WiFi Hub Firmware Release Notes - 0.45.11

[h0ckeysk8er (Bruce Pinsky)]

So, at least my Schlage BE469ZP is now communicating with the hub. Problem is that the lock codes aren’t displaying in SLGA and I get an error trying to create a code on the lock.

[h0ckeysk8er (Bruce Pinsky)]

Ok, deleting and then reinstalling SLGA fixed the issues.

As near as I can tell, “Connect Home and Smartthings WiFi” may be something different from the HUB.

Nope. Just different models of Samsung hubs which included a Wi-Fi mesh router and because they are so different, they are not on the same update schedule and don’t have the same firmware as the V3 or Aeotec hubs. But they are still smartthings hubs.

@Wajo357

The wifi devices, still do not add with edge drivers.

Which wifi devices?

[Wajo357 (Joey W.)]

These drivers don’t add devices when scanning:

[ST Edge] Roku Driver

I’m making my Roku Edge driver available for public use. I have previously made this available as a test driver as discussed in this topic. This driver will allow you to control your Roku device either through the SmartThings mobile app or through automation routines or Rules. Both streaming devices and TVs are supported. Controls include on/off, specific (remote) keypress commands, GUI media playback controls (play/pause/rewind), and favorites selection. Once the driver is installed, an Add device / Scan for nearby devices command in the mobile app will result in all Roku devices on your LAN being automatically discovered and SmartThings devices created for each. There are still some lingering issues related to SmartThings platform bugs, but otherwise it is pretty stable keeping in …

TP-Link Edge Driver (also LIFX)

@BarryA I have 2 TP-Link Kasa devises a KP115 smart plug with energy monitoring and a HS105 smart plug (no energy monitoring). So I installed your TP-Link Edge driver to try and get local control and energy monitoring for the KP115 in ST. The driver installed with no issues. When I run scan nearby it finds the KP115 almost instantly, but it never finds the HS105. The KP115 is a functioning smart plug, but there are broken clouds in the in the Energy Consumption & Power Meter fields. I tired uninstalling and reinstalling both devices and the driver several times. The results are always the same. When I look in the logs the the driver is polling the KP115 about every 2 seconds which seems excessive. Any ideas on how to fix this? On the plus side I have have 1 more local device. @Sylva…

These add, but don’t work:

[RELEASE] cast-web v1.2.1 - Chromecast Integration (EDGE Driver discussion begins in post 1668)

Is it possible to integrate web-cast-api as an EDGE driver and remove the “man-in-the-middle” ?

[ST Edge] Sonos LAN based Control

Here is my implementation of the Sonos LAN based controller. The documentation (not much needed) is on the GitHub page.

There are others, but these are my primary ones I need working.

[h0ckeysk8er (Bruce Pinsky)]

Try this Sonos Edge Driver which is Websocket based. It is working for me.

[Wajo357 (Joey W.)]

That is the issue… Because the point of having the wifi hub is to have its own subnet. So having devices on the original subnet doesn’t make sense. We want use the router as intended. I have a really old modem, that I don’t want to use to control my devices.

[Wajo357 (Joey W.)]

I don’t see a link to the driver.

[h0ckeysk8er (Bruce Pinsky)]

@Wajo357

I don’t see a link to the driver.

Sorry, thought it was there but it’s just the thread for discussing issues. The driver is in the Official ST channel

How did you add the Sonos speaker back into smartthings? I added the beta ST edge driver…but no scanning on the local network or adding by brand name picks up my Sonos SL1.

Just did a Scan Nearby.

[Wajo357 (Joey W.)]

Neither did mine. Although I have the Sonos already aaded with the older non-edge driver. Do I need to remove that one first? Does this new driver work with speaker notifications?

Doesn’t seem like it since “Play message on speaker” is greyed out as an action.

[Wajo357 (Joey W.)]

That’s a deal breaker then… Thanks anyway.

[SableBlack (Santiago)]

Hey all! Have anyone tried to add a Matter labeled device to the WiFi hub? I’m curious if indeed this latest firmware update already adds Matter compatibility.

[jkp]

if you open the hub in the ST app, look for the 3 logos: zigbee, z-wave and matter. If the Matter logo is shown then the hub supports Matter

[SableBlack (Santiago)]

I can only see both zigbee and Zwave, not matter

[SableBlack (Santiago)]

Hi! @nayelyz. Do you happen to know when the Smartthings WiFi Hubs will have Matter compatibility?

Thanks!

[richthetech (Richard Campbell)]

I have a smartthings wifi hub… and it supports matter now after update. On iOS.
It is a Samsung connect home pro… not the plume version. Oh and the firmware updated even though I turned off the wifi portion of the hub and only have it being used as a smartthings hub now.

[Wajo357 (Joey W.)]

2 questions

1. How did you turn off the wifi?
2. How can you tell the hub is matter compatible? I have the connect as well and I only see the zigbee and zwave logos.
