Thingshield to be Discontinued - What the Heck

[mckenph (phil)]

I want to make sure that everyone is aware of this, This is a huge problem unless you have figured out a work around.

Announcing the "ST_Anything" Arduino/ThingShield Project?

That stinks.

Hello all,

not sure if this is old news or not, but I just received a confirmation that the Thingshield is discontinued and there are no plans to bring it back.

I was asking the Smartthings store when they would be back in stock.

Been under discussion in the forum for a couple of days now:

Announcing the "ST_Anything" Arduino/ThingShield Project

According to one community member, SmartThings support told him that theThingshield has now been discontinued. Maybe @slagle or @aaron can confirm?

Thanks I will check it out

Not sure if this is any help but I have made a SmartThings development platform on the ARM Mbed. take a look: https://developer.mbed.org/users/Cameron/notebook/samsung-smartthings-mbed-development-platform/

Pinging this thread… I’ve had some success with a possible thingshield replacement…

ZigBee Development Board

Reviving an old thread here, since I can’t find any other progress or work that’s more recent. I’ve had success getting a cc2530 zigbee module to talk to smartthings. So far I can pair it, and blink an led, controlled by a device handler, from my phone. The good thing is, these things are small and just a few dollars! The chip is very flexible and powerful, about like an arduino. I’m thinking it could be a thingshield replacement, and also could function on its own as a device doing simple things with the (16!) gpios and (8!) analog inputs. Thoughts? Interested?

Let me know what you think!

@drandyhaas

Let me know what you think!

You are replying to a thread which is three years old. They have been many discussion threads since that time about various replacements. In particular, see:

[RELEASE] ST_Anything - Arduino/ESP8266/ESP32

UPDATE 2020-09-28 - All - I have made changes to almost every ST_Anything DTH to try and make them all work properly with the New SmartThings Mobile App. For the most part, I believe things are working pretty well. @vseven had already made some changes a few years back, which was a nice start - THANK YOU! I had to piece together bits and pieces from a variety of sources to try and get things to look correct and display the correct values in the New ST App. In the process, I also did clean up some custom attributes which will not properly display in the New ST App, including @vseven’s old ‘lastUpdated’ custom attribute. Since it can no longer be displayed in the New ST App, I did not see any reason to keep it. I did leave the code for it commented out in every Child DTH, so feel free …

Or if you are looking for something that is specifically Zigbee, see:

Expandable Zigbee Repeater Solution (With Temperature, Humidity, Pressure and Light sensors)

Please don’t resurrect zombie threads (those which Have had no activity for more than a year) unless you have first searched the forum to see if there are more current threads on the same topic.

Otherwise other community members end up reading through dozens and dozens of posts which are very out of date.

Thank you.
