[RELEASE] HubConnect - Share Devices across Multiple Hubs (no longer SmartThings!)

[csteele]

Are you following this advice?:

I'm not sure how far you've gotten with Smartthings custom apps so apologies is this is too simplistic.

Are you using the classic or the new Samsung App? Below are simplistic directions for the classic app.

• You have to login to their IDE at http://graph.api.smartthings.com. This is very much like Hubitat's "Apps Code" and "Drivers Code" sections.

• After that, you goto the "My SmartApps" section in Smartthings IDE and pull in the Smartthings specific groovy code the same as you did for the Hubitat groovy code in the "Apps Code" section of Hubitat.

• After that, you goto the Smartthings classic mobile app, automation bottom tab, SmartApps top tab, scroll to the bottom and select "Add a SmartApp".

• Scroll to the bottom of the "add a SmartApp" window and select "My Apps". This will pull from your custom applications installed via the IDE (the one you just installed).

• Choose the "HubConnect Remote Client" and follow the directions from there.

To Configure the app and paste in the Key, you'll pick Automations in the mobile app and then select HubConnect Remote Client. Click Connect to Server Hub and enter the IP address of your Hubitat Hub running the Server app portion of HubConnect. Then you paste in the Key from the Server Instance that you've predefined (so as to get the key, to paste in "there".)

That's the point where it should say "connected."

I threw together a Video of Installing HubConnect Server on a "new, empty" hub. I'm sorry I didn't have time for music, voiceover, etc. Just crude Annotations.

Please don't let any of our video professionals see it, because I value their contribution and they could hurt themselves falling to the floor in laughter.

I don't think there's as much confusion surrounding the Remote Client Hub Install, since in most cases it's just adding a single app. However, since my mind had the details and pattern at the fore...

No SmartThings video, but conceptually they are the same process. Where the Key comes from and where it gets pasted are the same, even if it takes different clicks to get there.

oAuth also needs to be enabled in the ST App when you installed it in the IDE.
