[RELEASE] HubiThings Replica

Thanks @Bloodtick_Jones, I created a virtual switch in Smartthings and extended it to Hubitat using HubiThings Replica, then created a rule in Smartthings that watches for the virtual switch to be turned on, presses the momentary, then turns the virtual switch off. Seems to be working until I can reflash Konnected to talk directly to Hubitat.

I have a Samsung Refrig connected to SmartThings but would prefer to monitor it in HE. I did a search and found a driver/app named HubiThings. Is anyone using this to monitor their Samsung refrig?

HubiThings requires the Samsung fridge to be authorized in the SmartThings app. You don’t need a hub, and it sounds like you’re already there. Install HubiThings, then install Dave’s additional drivers both in HPM, and it will support what you’re asking for.

Thanks for this great driver. I just integrated my new Lenox (powered by Smartthings) heat pumps, with the OCF driver.

I notice that the API reports

{capability=powerConsumptionReport, attribute=powerConsumption, value={deltaEnergy=43, end=2026-04-17T19:19:13Z, energy=490, energySaved=0, persistedEnergy=490, persistedSavedEnergy=0, power=394.0, powerEnergy=4.090826666090224, start=2026-04-17T19:11:33Z}, unit=, data={}, stateChange=false, timestamp=2026-04-17T19:19:13.283Z}

in the powerConsumption field.
Would it be possible to extract the "power" from that and set it as a "power" attribute, for power metering capability ?

In fact, I have made the change in my own OCF driver. I can file a pull request if you would consider it.

I filled a PR here, but I'm not sure if it's the right place: Integrate PowerMeter and EnergyMeter capability in Samsung AirCon replica by mboisson · Pull Request #32 · bloodtick/Hubitat · GitHub

I also added EnergyMeter capability in the same PR, since the energy is also returned by the powerConsumption report.

One thing that is not quite working well is that the powerConsumption report seems to be received only upon a refresh action. That means it does not get "live" power information. I configured a rule that triggers refresh on those devices every 2 minutes, but we may want to add that to the driver's built-in options ?

Another thing I noticed with the OCF AirCon replica device is that, while I can export it to Apple HomeKit, it only sees a couple of sensors and does not sees the control. It seems like it does not see it as a thermostat. There must be something not quite standard with the capabilities and how they are implemented.

Any idea why that may be ?

I am out of pocket this week but can take a look this weekend.

Have you made sure it is defined to be exported as a thermostat on the HomeKit bridge app?

I was not aware that this was an option, I always only enabled HomeKit and let it auto configured. That being said, I went on the HomeKit integration page, and those devices are not available under the Thermostat section, only in the AirQuality Sensor section.

What is the exact driver name you are using?
My Samsung ac units does show up under thermostats but I do not recall if I changed the driver to enable this.
Will check later today.

It is this driver: Hubitat/hubiThingsReplica/devices/replicaSamsungOcfAirCon.groovy at main · bloodtick/Hubitat · GitHub

Ok, I figured it out. I think everything is correct in the driver to be exported as Thermostat, but Homekit exports by the first capability it finds. In order to get it to export as thermostat, I had to enable "Show accessory classes and characteristics" and then manually select Thermostat.

Since this is rather counter intuitive, I would say the "Thermostat" and "TemperatureMeasurement" capabilities should be declared first.

I see I did modify the driver to support the thermostat capability.
You can using this driver version:

Hello there!
I am a returning customer...

I am stuck in step 6, I am able to see the devices on HubiThings Device List, however I am not sure how to bring those ST Devices to the Hubitat Device List.

Thanks in advance for your help!

You add devices from the OAuth application. Either go direct or from the settings area of Replica.

You might need to hit refresh in Replica after.

Ah, I've got lost with this.

Any chance of a pointer please?

I set this up ages ago and it was fine. Noticed some buttons on the dash weren't working for my TV and then found this:

Ta!

edit

n/m - had a fiddle. Needed a whole new reauth. Odd.

I just wanted to pop in and thank the developers for this unbelievably excellent and useful app! I’ve been using it now for quite some time to integrate my various Samsung TVs and monitors into Hubitat and it’s just been rock-solid reliable and easy to use.

So thank you again for the countless hours you’ve put into this project! It’s a gamechanger!

Hi All, I am looking to create the hubithing device for smartthings location in hubitat using replica smartthings hub device.i forgot how to do it. Is anyone did it recently who can guide me with steps. Note: My entire smart home gone rogue. So, need to start redo everything from the beginning.

:warning: Upcoming breaking SmartThings API change, October 2026

Samsung has announced that free access to the SmartThings API will be phased out starting in October 2026. After this date, SmartThings API access will require a paid Personal Plan subscription, currently $4.99/month.

If you use this integration, you will need to either subscribe to Samsung’s Personal Plan or migrate devices, such as local Zigbee/Z-Wave devices, before October 2026 to avoid a service disruption.
