SmartThings Developers

Get Started Step-by-Step

Create Your OAuth2 Client Application

Integrate your app with the SmartThings Platform using OAuth 2.0 Authorization Code flow. Generate an OAuth2 Client Application from your cloud that supports SmartThings redirect URIs. After integrating with the SmartThings Platform, you can enable users of your platform to onboard and operate their devices using the SmartThings App.

Create Your Cloud Connector

Create your Cloud Connector to handle the interaction between your cloud and the SmartThings Cloud. SmartThings Schema specifies an interaction type when sending a request to your server. In turn, your server responds with the appropriate information in a JSON payload.

Setup your cloud connector using either AWS lambda function or webhook endpoint
Your cloud connector should support the various interaction types specified in the interaction types references.

Register Your Cloud Connector

Use the developer SmartThings CLI tool to register your cloud connector using your device cloud credentials obtained from creating your OAuth client application.

Test Your Cloud Connector

Install and manage your registered SmartThings schema connector app on your account using the developer CLI tool. Test your integrated devices with the SmartThings App.
