I just ordered 8 Sunsa Wands and was looking for a way to integrate them into Smartthings so I can have better control. Anyone have luck ?
These are Wi-Fi devices and there does not seem to be any integration with ST.
They do seem to support Alexa so you should able to create a virtual window shade and use that as a proxy in ST to control the device via Alexa.
And here’s the API:
So create a virtual shade in ST or Alexa ?
You would create the virtual shade in ST (assuming you have a ST hub) and the device would be available in Alexa (assuming you have the ST skill installed and linked). You could then create Routines in ST that can open/shut the blind. Those actions would be reflected to the virtual device in Alexa where you can create Alexa routines to mirror the behavior(s) of the virtual device to the physical device. Depending on the Alexa integration, you might be able to control the device directly in the Alexa routine actions or to mimic voice commands using the “Custom” action.
If you don’t have a hub, you can create virtual devices via the ST Advanced Web App. They don’t support a window shade, but I’ve seen people use a dimmer or a dimmer switch as a proxy for a window shade as well.
