A bridge between SmartThings and MQTT (there is NO webconsole!) This project was spawned by the desire to control SmartThings from within Home Assistant. Since Home Assistant already supports MQTT, we chose to go and build a bridge between SmartThings and MQTT. Setup info available at: https://github.com/stjohnjohnson/smartthings-mqtt-bridge

First-install notes

  • Use a SmartThings PAT with location access Enter a SmartThings Personal Access Token (PAT, a personal login key) that has at least the r:locations:* permission to read locations. Without a valid token with this permission, the bridge can't see your home and setup will fail. source

Common questions

What permission must the SmartThings PAT have for the bridge to set up?

It needs at least r:locations:* permission to read locations. Without a valid token with that permission, the bridge cannot see the home and setup fails.

How can I inspect the MQTT topics and messages from the bridge?

Use mosquitto_sub with -h for the broker IP and -v for verbose output. Subscribe to the smartthings/# topic or # to see the traffic.

What can cause the bridge to stop sending events to the SmartThings hub?

A configuration problem can cause this. MAC address changes on virtualized NICs have also been identified as a factor.
