There are also devices that have not been supported for some time by their manufacturers on the legacy platform for various reasons (out of business, etc.). Please note that some devices may not transition automatically and will need to be re-onboarded. If you have a custom Groovy capability that is no longer supported, please contact the community member who provided that DTH to you. The transition of these devices will begin on Septemand will be completed over the following few months. The transition for most hub connected devices will be seamless, as will their abilities, which will be supported through standard Edge drivers. Additional processes and features, such as integrating a manual command, can be developed using the Scenes API. Developers can build simple or complex automations based on any number of triggers to customize experiences using common action, command, and operand semantics.

#Smartapp code driver#
You have paved the way for the design and development of upgraded hub software, Edge drivers, and simplified driver sharing features.Īs the door closes on Groovy-based SmartApps, a new door opens for developers with the Rules API. We would like to thank our developer community members who have provided invaluable help along this journey with testing and feedback throughout early stage and beta programs. All of this platform growth has increased reliability, decreased latency, and reduced the need for data transfer outside of the home environment.
#Smartapp code drivers#
Lua-based Edge drivers are a major step, which is being followed quickly with the launch of the Matter protocol, providing a greater focus on interoperability and local communication. Recognizing trends within the smart home industry, SmartThings has been working diligently to evolve our platform into a modern REST API framework. After migrations are complete, this means that devices and automations previously using Groovy will now exclusively operate with our latest hub and cloud technology.

On October 15th 2022 certain functions of the legacy developer IDE, such as the creation of new DTH’s, Smartapps, and debugging tools will be removed from the SmartThings platform and will no longer be supported. Beginning September 30, 2022, at 00:00 (PST) we will start migrations of Groovy device DTHs as well as SmartLighting and SevereWeather SmartApps, two of our most popular Smartapps built on Groovy.
