Unknown light BULBS?

DiDithedodo · March 7, 2017, 5:59pm

Help!! 62 and struggling! Can I get my smart things hub to work with a Philps hue light bulb?

Are you using a Hue Bridge? If so, I cannot help you as I don’t have a bridge.
You can connect them directly without a bridge.
I have 1 RGBW bulb, 1 White bulb and 3 Hue strips connected without a bridge.
If you wish to know I can give you a run down of how I connected mine without a bridge.

I’d love to try. But simple language only please, I’m new to all this!

bobbles · March 7, 2017, 7:33pm

Bridge or no bridge?

DiDithedodo · March 7, 2017, 7:47pm

No bridge only a smart things hub and alexa

The first thing you need to do is publish the following Device Type Handler (DTH) in the Device Handlers section on your IDE.

Here is an overview but I will also try and explain.

[OBSOLETE] FAQ: An Overview of Using Custom Code in SmartThings (SmartThings Classic, Groovy Code) FAQ

The original FAQ information in this thread refers to the original smartthings architecture, which was in place through the end of 2022 and a little beyond. Custom code was written in the groovy programming language and ran in the smartthings cloud. As of May 2023, you can no longer add new Groovy DTH‘s or smartapps to your smartthings account. So if you came here because of a link in an old forum thread, or on another site, I’m afraid the Groovy information is no longer usable. All of this was replaced by a new architecture. Cloud to cloud integrations use the smartthings API. Hub connected devices, mostly Zigbee and zwave, now use “Edge Drivers,” written in the LUA programming language. Here’s the official announcement on those: The process for using a custom Edge Driver in the new …

First log on to the ide.
Select My Location from the options at the top of the page.
Now select Home.
You are now in your IDE.
Copy and save the url in the address bar as this is the Server/Shard your hub is connected to. Always go back to this address to get to your IDE location.
Now click on My Device Handlers at the top of the page.
Click on create a new device handler.
On this page you will have 4 tabs.
Click on From Code.
Copy and paste in this code.

When this has been done you will see some more buttons.
Click on Save and then Publish. You will then get an option ‘For Me’. Click on that.
You know have a published DTH.
Let me know when you have done all this.

Omg! I’ll try but might take a while.

bobbles · March 7, 2017, 8:08pm

Just work your way through.
You can always PM me if you wish.
Don’t worry, we’ve all been where you are now.

@DiDithedodo
I’ve found the link to the code for the DTH.
Here it is.
When it opens up in github, click on the ‘Raw’ button and you can then copy and paste the code.

bobbles · March 7, 2017, 8:36pm

When you have the DTH published successfully, go into the app on your mobile.
Click on the My Home tab at the bottom.
Click on Things at the top.
Scroll down and click on + Add a Thing.
Yurn on your bulb and hopefully it will be discovered.

bobbles · March 7, 2017, 8:53pm

I think I’ve covered everything though.
Just follow things through step by step and hopefully I haven’t missed anything.
Also there are a good bunch of guys and gals on here who I’m sure would be more the happy to help you out.

DiDithedodo · March 7, 2017, 9:01pm
