SmartThings EXTRAS Announcement - ESPHome for SmartThings (Third Party Project)

Hello @Tim99

I am running many devices and sensors on ESPhome for home assistant. I have a backup Smartthings ecosystem. I would love to ride along with the testing and all. How can I join.

Hi @fshadfan,
Q1. Do you have Smartthings CLI installed?
Q2. What ESPHome devices do you wish to test?

Many Thanks Tim

Hi @cavallino47, Sorry for the delay. Life has got in the way the last few months.

I have the driver almost ready.

Hope to release it in the next week.

Many Thanks Tim

Hello @Tim99,

Yes I have CLI. The devices I am able to test are devices I have built. One would be the SR04 sensor. Another is the DS18B20 and finally I have a DHT11 with a relay module and some binary sensors both in a cover setup and standard setup.

Will that be good enough for the testing.

One more thing I have bluetooth proxy devices. I don’t know if that’s relevant to this topic but yes I have a pretty good amount of devices and configurations I am able to test.

Regards,

On a final note I have a PCF8574 display, a mq-2 gas sensor and a passive rtttl buzzer.

Hi @Tim99 sorry for delayed response. I have the cli installed

I understand, thank you @tim99.

I have the RATGDO openers and I also have the AirGradient AirQuality DIY unit. This can be flashed with ESPHome and has

  • SenseAir S8 CO2 Sensor
  • Plantower PMS5003 Sensor
  • SHT40 sensor for Temperature / Humidity
  • SGP40 for TVOC/NOx Index

The AirGradient is pretty much the most accurate DIY air quality sensor

What would I need to do to get the AirGradient onto SmartThings? And also the RatGDO openers ?

Hi @harshw

The RATGDO would need the RATGDO Smartthings driver (available soon).

The ESPHome DIY devices would need the ESPHome driver for SmartThings (in beta testing)

Many Thanks Tim

Thanks Tim, will wait for the RATGDO driver.

For the ESPHome driver - how do I sign up to the beta ?

Is this project still alive? I could not find any link to subscribe or use edge drivers for ESP32 on this thread or over on the SmartThings extras website. Thanks!

Hi @greenstuff, yes the project is in beta testing.

Support for sensors is well tested.
We have moved on to support other ESPHome Domain/Component types.

What are your requirements?

Many Thanks Tim

I have an air quality sensor using an ESP + BME688 in esphome, would be great to have it reporting into ST. IAQ, Classification, Accuracy, VOC, CO2, Pressure, Temp and Humidity.

I’ll see if I can package up a Sensor only version.

@Tim99 - can you let us know if the RATGDO driver will indeed be available for general or beta download?

I would rather use just Smartthings and avoid using Home Assistant with a bridge, but after waiting for six months for this and the ESPHome driver, it seems the prudent thing to do.

I do appreciate all that has been done by this community - however, the drivers have been promised since Jan and at this point, doesn’t look like they will get released any time soon.

Hi @harshw, the SmartThings Edge Driver for RATGDO had completed beta testing.

I just need to package it up and release it.

Sorry for the delay.

Please-Please-Please! I literally check this thread a few times a week wanting to get my ratgdo’s online with smartthings. @Tim99 the community would greatly appreciate you making the package available!

@Tim99 Please let us know as soon as it’s available. When do you think it will be available? What will the features be? Will I Be able to text someone if the Garage door is open? Will I be able to open the garage door 15%. Please tell us the features! Screen shots? Date?

Has anyone got this integration working? Any links to files/instructions? I’m about to breakdown and buy konnected.io’s GDO modules and give up on my 4 ratgdo’s just to get my smartthings solution back in operation.
