App and driver porting to Hubitat

[SoundersDude]

Is there a middle ground here where the Hubitat team turns the documentation into a editable surface by this community, or heck even on something like Github where we do pull requests for helping to keep it up to date and help document things like this that we all run into?

Edit:

@JasonJoel

I'll also just throw out there that the wiki pages are editable/commentable by end users.

Where are you seeing that?

Hmm, yeah, that seems like a pretty high bar.
Create a new account, request edit permission, etc.

If someone sees an issue, it's so much easier to just suggest specific edits to the owners, like Gitlab, Matter most and others do. https://www.gitbook.com/ is a good example of this.

I completely disagree with this comment. Even with the major advances I have seen over my year with HE, I would still not call this a consumer platform. Your calling a hub that allows a user to create a program that could completely crash the entire system, designed for consumers.

Invalid argument. You're telling me that cars aren't a consumer product? You can kill yourself and others just by operating a car. There are other reasons HE is not perfectly geared towards consumers but being able to write apps is not one of them. Every good product has an API or customization options.

@NickP

I find it extremely annoying to have to search community member posts to find details similar to what this thread contains.

What's the difference in between searching Discourse and searching through documentation?

designed for consumers

I am by definition a consumer..

I find HE perfectly designed for me.

Any suggestions for the issues I am seeing trying to get my Andersen Verliock translator and sensors moved over from Wink using a driver for it from ST? See discussion here - links to ST drivers are a few posts up (I'm definitely in over my head in doing a more complicated port from ST code )

Combine Lock and Contact in single device

Here are more details, realized that it might be difficult to figure out code sections based on different edits so I copied snipets near the offending sections. This error happens throughout the day on a semi regular basis, I'm guessing there is also something wrong with my edit of the Child code (after taking the Tiles section out of the ST code there was almost nothing left). Error1: dev:1622020-05-10 08:40:00.967 am errorjava.lang.IllegalArgumentException: deviceNetworkId is not specified…

We changed that awhile ago, sorry that post did not get updated. All you have to do is sign up for an account on docs.hubitat.com and start editing. There is still an approval process so your edits do not show up publicly immediately

What should I do with these commands from a SmartThings SmartApp? Not sure how to port it.

app?.deleteSetting("$name")

Giving this error in the logs:
groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: No signature of method: **************deleteSetting() is applicable for argument types: (org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.GStringImpl) values: [8a0fd8ce-6c50-4572-8da5-68d2204b7e2b_zones] on line 184 (deleteSetting)

And
revokeAccessToken()
gives a similar error - no signature of method

And
addRemoveDevices Exception: groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: No such property: completedSetup for class: com.hubitat.app.ChildDeviceWrapper

I don't see anything in the hubitat developer documentation...

[dman2306]

deleteSetting should be removeSetting

To revoke an OAuth token just do:

state.accessToken = null

And the last one you didn't provide the code in question so it's not really something I can answer, though I suspect you need to look at the first post in this thread which has the syntax for addChildDevice which is not the same as SmartThings. I suspect that's the issue,

Thanks. The code is:
d = addChildDevice("lnjustin", getChildContName(), contDev?.key, null, [label: getDeviceLabelStr(contDev?.value?.name)])
d.completedSetup = true // this line is causing the error

I don't see anything in the addChildDevice syntax to indicate completedSetup?

[dman2306]

completedSetup doesn't exist in HE as far as I'm aware. Just remove that line, you won't need it. Mind if I ask what you're porting? It's possible someone already did the heavy lifting for you!

Please folks i would like to ask that if someone could help me transfer this driver from smartthings to hubitat. This will help me a lot

@jorgespneto what errors are you getting? What’s not working?

I am trying to make a virtual air conditioning control work but I am having difficulties

[lewis.heidrick]

Isn't there already a port for Tasmota?

[RELEASE] Tasmota for HE - Auto-detecting Tasmota drivers + Tasmota firmware 7.x/8.x for HE (for use with Tuya, Sonoff and other ESP devices)

WARNING: Flashing your device with a 3rd party firmware MAY cause your device to not boot again. To fix this you MAY have to flash through TTL. Don't be in a rush! What's New? Auto-detection of device features and an all new optimized App! Also a whole lot more. This driver has been in closed beta since February and has been stable since then. The device support is even greater than before and even so, it is now much easier to know what to install. Want to know more? Want to know more about…

Hi,
I'm trying to port some code from ST to Hubitat here Sinope TH1120RF-3000 Drivers From Smartthings. I'm having difficulties here:

data.location_list = resp.data

It says java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot set property 'location_list' on null object (StartCommunicationWithServer)

Another question what's the difference between:
data.deviceId = null
and
data?.deviceId = null

Thanks!
