I replaced my tired old Jenn-Air gas cooktop last week with a shiny new Samsung 5-burner unit (Model #NA30N7755TS)…mostly because I frequently make large pots of soups/stews. Bringing them to a boil took forever on the old cooktop, and the Samsung’s 5th (center) burner puts out a manly 22K BTUs. More power! (Insert Tim Allen caveman grunt here.) Anyway…it’s also ST compatible via a Wi-Fi connection, and reports to ST whenever a burner is turned on/off. I didn’t buy it for that feature, but I’m trying to take advantage of it anyway with a simple webCoRE piston that will alert me if we leave the house and any of the burners are still on. That’s never been a problem in over 25 years of living in this house, but it’s a free safety feature, so I might as well make use of it.
But naturally, there is no documentation provided by Samsung for the Cooktop device type, and I’m having a bit of a time getting a piston to trigger based on the state of the burner(s). Does anyone here have one of the Samsung ST-compatible cooktop/range appliances and any experience with using it in CoRE/webCoRE pistons?
Ah, my mistake. Yes, I used the new app to do the pairing. Unfortunately, the cooktop does not appear to be available via the new app’s custom automation creator either.
No, it does not. All that is listed under “Current States” is the version number (19061301). However, the device display in both the old and new app on my mobile device updates correctly when a burner is turned on/off…albeit after a 5 second delay. It does this both when I’m at home and when I’m in a remote location across town. So events are making their way to/through the cloud in some manner.
Thanks, Brad. It would appear that I might have been mistaken about the device display updating in the classic app, as I can’t get it to do so now. I likely bounced back and forth between it and the new app and just thought I saw a change occur in the old one. It’s definitely working in the new app though…which might be why I fooled myself into thinking it was in the old one too.
