Get Started With Hub Connected Devices
Hub Connected Devices connect to a SmartThings-compatible Hub using the Matter, Zigbee, Z-Wave, or LAN protocols, allowing you to view and control your devices from SmartThings clients and incorporate these devices into Automations and more.
✅ Backed by SmartThings Edge Drivers
SmartThings Edge Drivers serve as the translator between device-specific protocols - including Matter WiFi & Thread, Zigbee, and Z-Wave - and the SmartThings Capability model, allowing your device to seamlessly interoperate on the SmartThings platform. Edge drivers enable Hub Connected Devices to run locally on the Hub, offering a number of benefits including speed, reliability, and enhanced functionality.

Bring Your Device to the SmartThings Platform
SmartThings provides two main tools that work in unison for developing and publishing your device on the SmartThings platform:
- The Edge Device Builder
If you want to bring your device to the SmartThings platform, we recommend getting started with the Edge Device Builder. This code-free solution provides a web-based interface for you to select the capabilities of your device and choose a pre-configured Edge Driver for your device. Using the Edge Device Builder is quick, easy, and efficient. - The Certification Console
After matching your device with an Edge Driver in the Edge Driver Builder, the Certification Console will help you submit a certification request for your devices and manage existing certification submissions, including defining device onboarding profiles and managing your brand.
