Are there any advantages/disadvantages to migrating to Habitat from SmartThings Classic vs. migrating to the new SmartThings App first, then migrating to Hubitat? Does HubConnect work better with one or the other?
Hubconnect, AFAIK, was designed w/ST Classic app, so if anything might work better w/the classic app. However, I enabled it using the new ST app and it seemed to work fine once I had it set up. There is a looong HubConnect thread here that you should be aware of if you're going to be using it.
I thought Samsung said custom code was going away? or possibly I misunderstood?
ST is going to retire groovy and the IDE sometime next year. From what I understand (and I don't understand much) they have an API that you can use to write apps in any language you want. I saw a demo where they redid webCore to use this API and the piston executed much faster than when fun using groovy. The other big difference is that ST will no longer host user code when this happens. You will have to find a way to host your own code, AWS, etc. When they shut down groovy, Hubconnect will no longer work with ST unless it's modified.

Does anyone know why I get this error message "Cannot get property 'input' on null object on line 20" when I try to migrate this SmartThings SmartApp code to Hubitat "preferences { input("gatewayIP", "string", title:"Gateway IP Address", description: "Please enter your gateway's IP Address", required: true, displayDuringSetup: true)"?
need the whole file but my guess is not in the prerfernces section or something wrong right above it..

since this is an app not a device in needs a section tag first
ie
preferences {
section (" General") {
input("gatewayIP", "text", title:"Gateway IP Address", description: "Please enter your gateway's IP Address", required: true, displayDuringSetup: true)
input("statusURL", "text", title:"Gateway Status URL", description: "Please enter the URL to download status", required: true, displayDuringSetup: true)

I saved the device drivers and app. Now I can not control my shades. This is a log from a request to turn on the evening scene.

Hi there. Also thinking of moving from SmartThings to Hubitat. First, I'd like to confirm that you are using my fork of this from SmartThings as your base, (GitHub username jeabraham) ? Second, did you put yours on GitHub too?
Thanks, John
Hi,
No I am not using you fork from ST as my base. I will review your fork. When I finish my migration, I will post on GitHub too. My user name is hubtheedge.
My fork has all the documentation I could find, and the full Mi Casa Verde source code as well. Also, some bug fixes. And, some additional comments and functionality. Thank you for working on this, my very first hubitat device is purchased and in the mail!
