Device HandlersΒΆ
Device Handlers (sometimes also referred to as Device Type Handlers, or SmartDevices), are the virtual representation of a physical device.
If you are new to writing device handlers, start with the Quick Start.
After that, read the Overview for a broad discussion about device handlers and where they fit in the SmartThings architecture.
The rest of the guide discusses the various components of Device Handlers primarily targeted for hub-connected (ZigBee or Z-Wave) devices (though the common Device Handler principles and patterns apply to other devices as well).
Note
This guide discusses hub-connected device handlers. For information about LAN and cloud-connected device handlers, see this guide
