flutter_reactive_ble VS smartapp-sdk-nodejs

To use Postman, you need to create a user in the bridge for access for your desktop computer. You can do so by following the quickstart tutorial in the documentation, for which you need to sign up here: https://developers.meethue.com/

Before you can use such a tool, you need to create an account within your bridge for your desktop. If you sign up here and follow the gerring started guide, you end up with such an account: https://developers.meethue.com/

But soon after I had a play with these I moved to Philips Hue. The bridge exposes a very nice API which makes programming easier and it offers a lot more possibilities. I'd say Hue is worth it when your intention is to program lighting yourself. If you sign up here, you can browse the documentation: https://developers.meethue.com/

By using Postman and eyeballing stuff, trying out settings, google things etc. There's no documentation about the inner workings of motion sensors on https://developers.meethue.com/

To access the documentation and go through a getting started guide which results in a user in your bridge for your desktop, sign up here: https://developers.meethue.com/

Here's a TikTok API for Python. And here's the Hue API (obviously, that's only useful if you have Phillips Hue lights).

You have to sign up to access the documentation: https://developers.meethue.com/

Yes, but only if you're not shy using your platform of choice to call it's API using http requests. To access the documentation, you have to sign up here: https://developers.meethue.com/

Check out the examples in any of the libraries you think about using. For instance, here's the flutter_reactive_ble. https://github.com/PhilipsHue/flutter_reactive_ble/tree/master/example

Samsung has a developer website @ https://smartthings.developer.samsung.com/ for partners and developers. You don't need to register and can browse or download as desired.

smartThings api (smart outlet, blind automation, sensor integration): https://smartthings.developer.samsung.com

Seems to be fixed. I actually put a ticket in with the support and I dont think they had a clue there was an issue. I sent them a screenshot from my phone trying to login to the app and asked them to try and login at : https://smartthings.developer.samsung.com/ , after this they said they were escalating to their engineers. Obviously they have no monitoring in place.

Maybe I'm jumping the gun - just the "Classic" smartthings app is no longer in the app store, and apps made on https://graph.api.smartthings.com/ aren't available in the new smartthings app, only ones made here https://smartthings.developer.samsung.com/ with the new API are available in the new app. So I guess if you have an app working with the old API it will probably keep working for a while - just don't delete your "classic" ios app.

I like the looks of the SmartThings ecosystem as there's an official Node.js SDK available. It gets major points for me too as it allows me to utilize any back end service I want -- I'm something of a tinfoil hat wearer, and strongly dislike the idea of using Samsung / Google / Amazon / etc. servers in my home automation. That will likely be a breaking point for me, as I currently have no Alexa / Google Home / etc. services and am hoping to keep it that way.
