@Bloodtick_Jones hey. Just following up if there is any way to turn off the display light from the ac? (my ac is in the bedroom)

Can you go to the new driver development section of the latest Replica and upload the json information for review? The last time I checked there was not a method to modify the display light. This might have changed.

I am able to toggle my Fanimation fan on and off successfully, but I am not able to set the fan speed properly. No matter what value I set it to, it always makes the fan spin very very fast. Is this a known issue? Is there anything useful that I can provide to troubleshoot? Thanks in advance

As I recall, Fanimation is one of SmartThings' integrated services and not driver-based. Assuming you are able to control the speed of the fan through the SmartThings app device page, do you typically set it by changing the Fan Speed (i.e., 1, 2, 3, 4), the Fan Level (i.e., 32%, 66%, 99%), or is some other method or nomenclature involved? If it's one of the first two, have you tried both methods in your Replica device?

If you're still not having success, your next step would likely be to open the HubiThings Replica app and click on "Support for New Device" at the bottom of the page and follow the instructions.

Hi I might have posted this in the wrong section and should have been posted here being it seems related to HubiThings Replica everything seems to be working fine but I noticed an error in my log below not sure what the cause is or what has to be done to fix it any input would be appreciated.

Thanks
John

Ok this app is amazing. I was in the process of migrating to Hubitat from smarthings but there are a couple devices that would have been hard to integrate with hubitat. This bridged that gap for me and it was much appreciated.

Hi Didn't get much for response on this question above for the errors should I just delete the virtual devices and maybe re connect to them to resolve the errors?

What type of virtual device is throwing the error? That does not have a familiar method call of a Replica device driver. Not sure how to help.

Thanks, yes I wasn't sure what the cause was but it some mode switches I set up with HubiThings Replica. What I'm trying to do is use replica with some SmartThings virtual switches that I created in SmartThings for modes such as arm, unarm and Home so that when Hubitat changes modes it replicate in SmartThings, so when Hubitat changes modes to say armed Hubitat would turn the arm switch on in the SmartThings app. Reason is the wife still likes the SmartThings app. it seems to work fine but I get these errors in the log wonder if It should toggle the switch rather than just turn them on when mode changes. Sorry hope what I'm trying to explain makes sense.
Thanks
John

A little confused on your configuration, but you are correct that HubiThings is throwing the error by attempting to call a method on Hubitat that the device does not handle. BUT we should be able to figure it out.

Can you select/find the Hubitat device that is dev:182

If you click on 'dev:182' it should highlight the device name and you can then go to that device and send me the 'Type' of the device to troubleshoot.

Depending on the 'Type' we can change the 'Rules' to select the correct methods in the HubiThings Replica application:

No problem. I used the HubConnect application for years doing exactly the same thing.

Just paying it back to the community with this application. :slight_smile:

delayed response by me, but thanks for your answer.

"have you tried both methods in your Replica device?"

Can you please help me understand exactly how to do this? Thanks in advance!

My apologies for not responding sooner. I've been out of pocket for a few weeks.

In the SmartThings app, go to the device page for your fan and note what controls are provided by the Fanimation service. On the device page for my fans, I have two options to control speed as shown in the image below; (a) a "dimmer" or Level control, or (b) a Fan Speed Control,

These correspond to the controls on the Replica device page in Hubitat:

If your controls don't match either of these options, or don't work for you when you try them, open the HubiThings Replica app and click on "Support for New Device" at the bottom of the page and follow the instructions.

Hope this helps.

Hello Community. I have several First Alert Smoke CO Detectors configured in ST. I am connecting them to HubiThings ST HUB Replica. Which Hubitat Device Type should I choose in the Replica list?

I don't think there is a replica driver completed for smoke/CO detectors available yet. Right now, I am in the middle of moving, and it will probably be a couple of weeks before I have time to develop on the platform.

Q: Any reason you are keeping these with ST and not moving them to HE? I had three of these on HE prior to the move, and they performed well.

Anyway, if you can wait, I can work on it when things are not in pieces.

Good point. I think I will just move them to Hubitat. Thanks

Thanks so much for this, I have everything functioning perfectly, with one challenge.

I can't control the range's oven light from Rule Machine. It works as expected from the device page, or a button on the dashboard. For my microwave hood, the light can be set from the 'actuator' function, but the range doesn't have that.
Looking in the Hubithings rule section, I don't see a command for 'setbrightnesslevel' or similar.

Is anyone controlling the light this way, and how did you do it?

What Replica driver are you using for this?

I'm using the ReplicaSamsungOven, installed and updated from HPM. The ReplicaSamsungOvenCavity child is installed as well, but that doesn't have light controls.
