SmartApp: Used to broadcast SmartThings device state changes to your Google Home using the Google Assistant Relay v2 . The smartapp listens for smartthings device events and POST’s a JSON message to the Google Assistant Relay v2 server when a device event is triggered.
Device Handler: Can be used in conjunction with 3rd party tools (ie. WebCoRE) to send custom notifications to your Google Assistant Relay v2 server.
You do not need to install both the smartapp and device handle…
If you need to make use of a device handler you can install this one for use with 3rd party tools like WebCoRE.
