homebridge-smartthings-bb v1.5.10-beta.1
Smartthings Homebridge Plugin
This is yet another smartthings plugin for Homebridge. This requires no access to the legacy smartthings app, and doesn't require a lot of work to install. It will discover devices automatically as well as unregister devices that are removed from your smarttthings network. This is currently under development.
Fixed in version 1.5.10-beta.0, beta.1

- Update dependencies

Device types supported
Currently, the following have been implemented, because that is what I have access to in my home. Supports: Switch, Lightbulb, Fan, Garage Door Opener, Locks and Window Shades that support the WindowShadeLevel command.
How to configure
You will need to create a Smartthings personal access token. You can do that here: https://account.smartthings.com/tokens. Create a new token and make sure it has all of the device permissions, and if you want to use the Ignore Locations feature, you must include the List Locations (r:locations) permission. Save your token and add it to the configuration. By configuring the WebhookToken, the plugin will attempt to connect to the SmartThings Webhook Server that we're running and wait for events. This will result in the plugin ignoring the poll settings as polling will not occur. This section should be added to the platforms array in your config.json file, but you can now edit using the config UI:
The "IgnoreLocations" array may be omitted. This array can be used to specify location names, as confogured in the Smartthings app. All of the devices in these locations will be ignored and not added to Homebridge. If you add any IgnoreLocations after you had previously started Homebridge with this plugin, those devices will be removed. You may remove this section to have them added back in. IMPORTANT: your API token must have the "r:locations" permission in order to ignore locations.
You need to restart Homebridge when you make changes to this file.
