What do you need to get locks and shades working?

[veonua]

I want to help you with these types of devices, please let me know what is needed

[iklein99]

If you want, I can add some capabilities for locks and shades, but you'd have to do the testing for me. Can you commit to doing that?

[veonua]

yes sure, just let me know what to test. also you can create a virtual devices

I added support for a lock. Would you be able to test it for me? I created a beta version for you to test. To install this, you need to get to a command line and use this command:

sudo npm install -g homebridge-smartthings-ik@beta

After you run this, restart homebridge and make sure the version of the plugin is 1.1.4-beta.0.

Please let me now how you make out. I am going to add the shade next.

[veonua]

hmm, installed the plug-in via hombridge UI on my Raspberry Pi, and it seems like there is no npm only pnpm do you know if it's possible to install beta via hombridge UI?

[iklein99]

npm is there somehere. homebridge uses it to install the plugins. You may have to look around. Otherwise, once I'm able to I'll just publish the plugin normally and you can upgrade, but I can't right now.

[veonua]

lock works! ... it seems the plugin doesn't get device updates from the ST, so if I turn on lights or open the lock manually the device will stuck in the homekit. it tries to open opened lock and the operation never finishes.

[iklein99]

The issue is that Smartthings doesn't tell hoebridge when something changes, so it may show a bad state. The same happens with a garage door. But if you click on the device in Smartthings, it should refresh appropriately. Its about the best I can do with smartthings.

[veonua]

can you do

https://developer-preview.smartthings.com/docs/connected-services/subscriptions/

[iklein99]

Subscriptions require an endpoint with an SSL certificate and would require each user to set that up. A little too complex I think.

[iklein99]

Version 1.1.4 of the plugin now supports locks.

[veonua]

add shades please

[iklein99]

Run this command:

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer: " https://api.smartthings.com/v1/devices > devices.json

and send me the output. i need to see what your window shade looks like. Replace with your actual token which you used to configure the plugin. email me the results to iklein99@comcast.net.

[iklein99]

Please install homebridge-smartthings-ik@1.1.7-beta.0 and let me know if that works for your window shade / blinds. If it doesn't, please clear out your logs, run homebridge in debug mode and send me the complete logs.

Please let me know if your shade works.

[veonua]

could you please tell more how do I run in the debug mode

I can see

Click on the ellipsis (three dots in upper right corner) and click on Homebridge Settings.

Then toggle on debug mode from there:

how about adding a configurable polling request that runs every 30 seconds to resync a device state?

[robjampar]

im running into the same problem (i want to check that the back door lock is locked every night, but i can't do that if it has been locked manually and therefore the plugin still says its unlocked!)

[robjampar]

something like this

https://github.com/iklein99/homebridge-smartthings/pull/13

(untested)

[iklein99]

This is a good idea. I'll look at doing that. Thanks for the recommendation.

[iklein99]

Polling for locks has been added. Closing this item.

[robjampar]

nice!

i've tested this and it needs a minor update, the target state and current state both need to be updated when it syncs

https://github.com/iklein99/homebridge-smartthings/pull/14

[robjampar]

also this pattern probably could be used for other device types as well
